As you note, this is not where AC comes into play, since in the
inductive definition we don't need a (von Neumann) cardinal the size of
x because we can just include sets < |x| directly. The problem is, again
as you note, proving the existence of a closure ordinal for the
inductive definition; or, to put it slightly differently, showing that

Taking that definition as too vague, I looked up the 2nd law on
yahoo and found this:
From Wikipedia:
The formulation of the second law that refers to entropy directly is
as follows:
Note that from the mathematical definition of entropy [see next
sentence], a process in which heat flows from cold to hot has

I am speaking of concepts versus blind calculation within
an educational context. The conventional educator regards
the ability to perform rote calculations to be more important
than a deep conceptual understanding. This is true because
the fundamental structure of our schools does not readily permit

uh no. please understand what "probability" in math refer to and then
you can grasp it better.

What are some examples of paradoxes in ZFC?

reminds me of ZFC and the alike
faith (in axioms) = theory
lying (axioms are true and the best) = teaching
ZFC teacher = genius
occult beliefs = science
ZFC paradoxes ( many examples ) = kosher
bullshit = truth
believing ( axioms ) = learning

No. For all we know (given the model assumptions), all you ever have are
gentle breezes.
I found the following statement confusing:
(Like the swirled hairs on the tennis ball, the wind will spiral around this
zero-wind point - under our assumptions it cannot flow into or out of the point.)
There was no assumption that I could see that ruled out a situation where
