Have you ever heard the term "Paradox" ?
What is Paradox? What
is the most famous paradox?
Let's have a look from its basic definition which states
that, A paradox is a statement or preposition that seems self contradictory or
absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.
So in simple words,
paradox is a statement that truly is contradictory and yet follows
logically from other statements that do not seem open to objection. If someone
says, “ I am lying” for example, and we assume that his statement is true, it
must be false. The paradox is that the statement “i am lying” is false if it is
true.
Paradox is also known
as antinomy.
The term paradox was originated from the two Greek words
i.e, para = distinct and doxa = opinion. One of the most famous paradoxes is
Russell's paradox.
So, in the thread of Paradoxes, Team Cosmic threads will try
to explain each cosmic paradox briefly. Stay tuned.
