A paradox is an absurd or contradictory statement. I see said the blind man is a contradiction as a blind man can't see. Therefore this statement is a paradox.

What if a paradox happened?

paradoxes are a normal phenomena of every day life, if you were to recognize one you are to make a choice to find a solution to the present paradox you are confronting. as its said in college think outside the box find a solution. "the statement above is true" and so is the statement below." "they are both true and false at the same time." "The statement below is false." "The statement above is true." "paradoxes can happen at will or happen just unintentionally." if a paradox happens make a choice between true or false or choose both or none. the antidote to a paradox is choices and good judgment. stay on the positive side of paradoxes.


What can a paradox be defined as?

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 an apparent contradiction that is actually true?

A paradox is a statement or situation that appears to be self-contradictory or logically impossible, but upon further examination reveals a deeper truth or resolution. It challenges our understanding and forces us to reconsider assumptions or perspectives.
