What would happen if Pinocchio said My nose is going to grow now?
NA2451
The fact is that if pinochio said this he would be lying,so therefore his nose would grow,but then his lie would become true,and again because he spoke the truth his nose would shrink,which would make him a lier again,so therefore it would result in a never ending occurence of his nose growing and shrinking.
its almost like if you took viagra and steroids at the same time
or you can use the bubble theory and state that in one dimension his nose will grow and in another it would shrink
or you can say that one half of his nose would grow and the other would shrink making it a...wait for it...half truth"he he"
Then again, saying "my nose will grow" is a presumption for the future and a vague one at that. If he said that his nose would grow in the future, but did not specify when it would, so as long as his nose had the ability to grow, then the statement would be neither be false or true. If his nose could not grow, then his statement would be false, but if his nose could not grow, then he would have already broken the curse.
But if he thought he knew that his nose could not grow any more, then it would be a lie, and therefor his nose would grow. Then, in 200 milliseconds (average human reaction time), after realizing that his statement was in fact truth, his nose would shrink again. It would therefor not grow again as he had already satisfied the condition of his nose growing once.

If you mean "What if Pinocchio said 'my nose will now grow'?", then whatever universe he's in would probably explode from the paradox.

∙ 11y agoTricky. This question brings up the old "liar paradox." Let's say in the future we could build real, legitimate lie detectors. If you said "this scentence is a lie" would it be true? Well, let's think for a second. If Pinnochio truthfully said his nose would grow, it would grow. But according to the original Pinnochio story, telling a lie, somehow, magically causes his nose to grow. Can his nose see the future (and use it to your advantage). Well, it grew, just like he said it did, so yes it can tell the future. But if his nose grows when he tells a lie, and doesn't when it's the truth, if he said his nose would grow truthfully, it would. But then, it wouldn't grow, because as soon as it grew, he would be telling the truth. But then as soon as it doesn't grow, it would grow because that would make it true again. But if he was lying, it wouldn't grow because he said it wouldn't. But then, it would grow now because his nose grows as he tells a lie, then it wouldn't, the would, and so on. So it starts out as one, then, it becomes the other, then the other, then the other, then the other, and so on. So it would grow to infinity, probably. So let's just say it as simply as we can: "if Pinnochio said his nose would grow, that would, eventually, cause his nose to grow to infinity.

∙ 12y agoHe will have lied, and HIS nose will grow.
Edit: Had he said my nose will grow, he would have created a popular paradox. In truth, nothing would happen because pinocchio isnt real.

What would happen if Pinocchio said your nose will no?
well when he sais my nose will grow nothing will happen meaning he was lying making his nose grow meaning he was telling the truth creating a loop hole which will means his nose will for ever keep extending and retracting.so the moral is that pinocchio shouldn't say my nose will now grow another of my theories is that he'll say it once and the univerce will shatter and pinocchio will tumble through the viod until he dies that is if the laws of death and life apply outside the univerce or maby both will happen
What part of pinocchio's body will grow if he lies?
His nose.
In Pinocchio who said A lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face?
This is an interesting question. You see, if he just walked up to you and said he was lying he might just be saying that and therefore his nose would grow because he is lying about the fact that he is not lying. BUT!! If he walked up to you and said he was lying and actually meant it, his nose would still grow because he was lying about something even though he was telling the truth and admitting that he was lying.So yes, either way, his nose would still grow. It's confusing, believe me, I know.
What is the reaction about the story of Pinocchio?
two cats see Pinocchio and say come with was Pinocchio said yes but he did that he didn't Liston to hie conscious
How did the fox and the cat lead Pinocchio astray?
They tricked him into believing that they became so poor and ragged because they studied too much. Also, they told him about a magic land, where he could sow his five gold pieces and a money tree would grow. Pinocchio was fooled into thinking he could become rich very quickly and without effort, so he abandoned his plans to study and work hard.
