post your fave paradoxes
Two Doctors walked into a bar, and the bartender saidā¦
I think i understandā¦
literal metal bar?
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
then youāre probably playing WoW.
Lol just got off of wow to see that.
My fave is the haystack paradox.
If you have straw and stack the straw one strand at a time when does it become a stack?
ummmmā¦ dunno
āThis statement is false.ā hahaha, thatās a good one.
I think my favorite would probably be the omnipotence paradox, it goes something like this:
Can an omnipotent being create a rock too heavy for itself to lift?
If yes, the being is not truly omnipotent.
If no, the being is not truly omnipotent.
A dyslexic guy walks into a bra.
he he
K strauss is a yoyoer :
Love I6ifyās paradox.
People should at least google paradox though lol
Also for people who donāt understand mine.
One can assume that if you take away one straw of hay from a stack you still have a stack.
And if you add one straw to one straw you donāt have a stack.
So if you continuously take away from a stack youāll get down to 2 straws which means it is and isnāt a stack.
By definition, this is impossible. For something to be defined as āunstoppableā, nothing must be able to stop it. Therefore, there cannot be an immovable object.
Weāre talking about paradoxes, here. This is the entire point of them.
every thing I say is a lieā¦
Ok, so there is a town. In this town, there is one barber, and one barber only. This barber shaves people with a straight razor; however, he only shaves people who DONāT shave themselves, and refuses to shave people who DO shave themselves. Does he shave himself?
Two of my favorite are Curryās Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curryās_paradox) and Russelās Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russellās_paradox) because they are mathematically amusing to think about.
Another really interesting one is the Sorites Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorites_paradox)
If you canāt tell, I really enjoy logic.
I love Catch-22ās more.
There is no absolute truth.
Waitā¦

Isnāt this more of a riddle than a paradox?
[quote=wikipedia]A paradox is a seemingly true statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which seems to defy logic or intuition.
