Odd Questions in Math and Physics
Where curiosity meets contradiction — and every paradox hides a lesson.
Explore some of the most fascinating, strange, and brain-twisting questions from mathematics and physics.
These are not just puzzles — they’re doorways to deeper understanding.
➗ Why Can’t You Divide by Zero?
Read the full explanation of why division by zero isn’t just tricky — it’s actually undefined.
♾️ What Is Infinity Plus One?
Adding one to infinity still gives infinity — but not in the way arithmetic would suggest.
Through Hilbert’s Hotel and the logic of set theory, we discover that infinity is not a number, but a concept — one that changes meaning depending on the context.
🐱 Is Schrödinger’s Cat Alive or Dead?
Until you open the box… it’s both.
Quantum mechanics says the cat exists in a superposition of states until a measurement collapses the wave function.
It’s weird, yes — but also foundational to modern physics.
