  2. Temporal paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_paradox

    The "predestination paradox" is a concept in time travel and temporal mechanics, often explored in science fiction. It occurs when a future event is the cause of a past event, which in turn becomes the cause of the future event, forming a self-sustaining loop in time.

    Black hole information paradox: Black holes violate a commonly assumed tenet of science that information cannot be destroyed. Ehrenfest paradox : On the kinematics of a rigid rotating disk. Ladder paradox : Introductory relativity problem about a ladder, a barn, and simultaneity.

    Interestingly, music-induced emotions and memories were also found to be preserved even in patients suffering from severe dementia. Studies demonstrate beneficial effects of music on agitation, anxiety and social behaviors and interactions. [14] Cognitive tasks are affected by music as well, such as episodic memory and verbal fluency. [14]

  5. Retrocausality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocausality

    Retrocausality, or backwards causation, is a concept of cause and effect in which an effect precedes its cause in time and so a later event affects an earlier one. [1] [2] In quantum physics, the distinction between cause and effect is not made at the most fundamental level and so time-symmetric systems can be viewed as causal or retrocausal.

  7. Auditory illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_illusion

    Composers have long been using the spatial components of music to alter the overall sound experienced by the listener. [14] One of the more common methods of sound synthesis is the use of combination tones. Combination tones are illusions that are not physically present as sound waves, but rather, they are created by one's own neuromechanics. [15]

    The transformation relies on the trace operation, which summarizes aspects of the matrix. If this trace term is zero ([†] =), it indicates that the transformation is invalid in that context, but does not directly imply a paradox like the grandfather paradox. Conversely, a non-zero trace suggests a valid transformation leading to a unique ...
