A paradox can be simply defined as a true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or situation which defies intuition.
Here is a list of paradoxes:
Barbershop paradox: The supposition that if one of two simultaneous assumptions leads to a contradiction, the other assumption is also disproved leads to paradoxical consequences.
What the Tortoise Said to Achilles "Whatever Logic is good enough to tell me is worth writing down...", also known as Carroll's paradox, not to be confused with the physical paradox of the same name.
Crocodile Dilemma: If a crocodile steals a child and promises its return if the father can correctly guess what the crocodile will do, how should the crocodile respond in the case that the father guesses that the child will not be returned?
Catch-22 (logic): In need of something which can only be had by not being in need of it.
Drinker paradox: In any pub there is a customer such that, if he or she drinks, everybody in the pub drinks.
Paradox of entailment: Inconsistent premises always make an argument valid.
Horse paradox: All horses are the same color.
Lottery paradox: There is one winning ticket in a large lottery. It is reasonable to believe of a particular lottery ticket that it is not the winning ticket, since the probability that it is the winner is so very small. But it is obviously not reasonable to believe that no lottery ticket will win.
Raven paradox (or Hempel's Ravens): Observing a green apple increases the likelihood of all ravens being black.
Unexpected hanging paradox: The day of the hanging will be a surprise, so it cannot happen at all, so it will be a surprise. The surprise examination and Bottle Imp paradox use similar logic.
A paradox is a statement or situation that may seem contradictory or absurd, but may actually be true or have a valid explanation. It often challenges our expectations and assumptions by presenting seemingly illogical ideas.

A double paradox is a situation that involves two seemingly contradictory elements. It can create confusion or challenge traditional logic by presenting conflicting ideas simultaneously. Examples include the Barber paradox or the Liar paradox.
No, "time is gold" is not a paradox. It is a metaphorical expression meaning time should be valued like gold because it is precious and valuable. A paradox is a statement that appears self-contradictory or illogical but may express a truth.
One example of a paradox is the famous "liar paradox," which states: "This statement is false." If the statement is true, then it must be false, but if it is false, then it must be true, creating a contradiction. This paradox highlights the complexity and ambiguity that can arise from self-referential statements.
Peace is not a paradox. A paradox is defined as something which contradicts itself or something that goes against received opinion. World peace may be a paradox, but peace as a general concept isn't, some peace can be achieved.
They are the 2 states an atom can be in, as defined in the EPR paradox.
