5 Rosss Paradox
This is an open question. Note that these two scenarios are equivalent. At each time t =
1 (
1
2
)
n1
), one ball gets removed and more balls are added in.
An acceptable answer would just states either side of the paradox:
1. itll be empty, since every ball will be removed at some point before time t =1.
2. it wont be empty, since once we remove a ball, we add more balls.
A better answer would point out both of them. A much better answer would states the underly-
ing reason of the paradox the problem is ill-dened, since we are trying to determine the status
of a system at a moment we wont reach at all (t = 1). Though we know the systems status
when approaching the underlying moment. It cannot be generalized to its status at the moment
at all.
