Episode Description
This week on the Conduct Science Podcast this description is false! Tom and Mitch take a look at paradoxes, one’s we see in everyday life, ones that took over 2,000 years to figure out and many that still perplex us to this day! From time travel and the Bootstrap Paradox to the statistical likelihood but no evidence for alien life in the Fermi Paradox, join us on The Conduct Science Podcast!
