Love your explanation of the Curry's paradox!

Awesome Explanation

Oh thank you for,understanding this!

I'm still confused. Even in the first triangle (displayed at 2:50) has a change in the slope partially up the hypotenuse.

The area of the bulge is surely half a square in the other configuration the area of the indent should be half a square so added together they account for the missing square.

Oh man I don´t understand everything, because I am from Germany, but I love it!

so in geometry the theory that says that two parallel lines crossed by another line in an angle both angles formed by the crossed line and the parallel lines should be perfectly equal, I'm referring to the sharpest angles of both yellow and purple triangles, if those angles are perfectly equal the line formed by those triangles should a straight line in both cases.

Man this world has stuff that can melt my brain n we haven't ever even been on other planets or know earth 100% yet

merely an illusion. the slope of the two triangles are not equal. You can see the convexity and concavity between the two arranged shapes. that is where the "missing" area is

very nice =)

So this would be a visual falsidical paradox. One where the obscured error isn't in ambiguous terms, division by zero, unstated premises etc., but in how we look at diagrams.

Paul Curry is a magician. I have read that Curry's Paradox is attributed to logician Haskell Curry, NOT Paul. What is your source for this?

Can someone explain, how we come on 3/5 hypotenuse? I used The Pythagorean Theorem and didn't come on the same answer. Pls , my brains need information.
