Law of Large Numbers - Why Casinos Always Win and How Probabilities Converge

An explanation of the Law of Large Numbers, a crucial theorem in probability theory. We delve deep into casino profit structures, rigorous mathematical definitions (weak and strong laws), with diagrams and Python code.

Ancestor Paradox: The Mathematics and Genetics of Pedigree Collapse

The "Ancestor Paradox" occurs when the number of your ancestors going back in generations exceeds the world's population at the time. We explain this mystery, "Pedigree Collapse", in detail from mathematical and genetic perspectives.

Arrow's Impossibility Theorem: A Perfect 'Democracy (Election)' Does Not Mathematically Exist

Can we create an 'election system that is fair to everyone'? Through 'Arrow's Impossibility Theorem' proven by economist Kenneth Arrow, we explain the mathematical limits of democracy and how we should face elections and decision-making.

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems: The Mathematical Proof of 'Truths That Can Never Be Proven'

We explain Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, a historic theorem that showed the limits of mathematics, including its meaning and how the proof works, in an easy-to-understand manner with concrete examples and diagrams.

The Doomsday Argument: The 'Time Limit of Human Extinction' Derived by Probability Theory

Where are we in the history of humanity? We explain the 'Doomsday Argument,' which probabilistically predicts the timing of human extinction using the Copernican principle and Bayesian inference, with formulas and diagrams.

The Ship of Theseus: Is a Completely Replaced Ship the Same as the 'Original'? Identity Deciphered through Software Engineering

Using the Greek philosophical paradox 'The Ship of Theseus' as a theme, we delve deeply into refactoring, system replacement in software development, and 'identity' in object-oriented programming.
