PARADOX :- A paradox is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement that runs contrary to one's expectation. It is an explanation that, in spite of evidently legitimate thinking from genuine premises, prompts an apparently self-opposing or a consistently unsatisfactory end.
For ex:- "if I have invented a time machine and killed my grandfather before my dad's birth then my father certainly never born , so I also never take birth ,so then who will create a time machine and killed my grandfather."
This famous paradox is known as grandfather paradox famous astrophyscist Stephen hawkins said :- " We could only travel past if we can find a way to fix this paradox."
Here are
TOP 10 MOST DIFFICULT PARADOX.
1. Thesis paradox or Grandfather's Axe paradox.
Suppose you have a axe which your grandfather handed to you , by keep using it its parts are broken first the handle is broken and you replaced it with new ,then its head is broken then you brought replacement for it. Now one by one you changed everything that broked in axe "Does the Axe is still your grandfather's axe?" This question makes this scenario a Paradox.
2. Egg or hen paradox
This is most common and popular paradox everybody asked Who came first Egg or Chicken 🐔 if egg came first then who laid the egg and if chicken came first where is egg . Many people explain this but none of them are accurate and satisfactory.
3. Boot strap Paradox
Suppose I am an author I wrote a book and it is very popular then I invented time machine and travelled to the time when I was young and gave the book to myself. Then the question arises who is the author of the book. If I have given it to myslef then who wrote the book.
4. Smullyn Paradox
This is one the most interesting paradox suppose in the desert of Sahara 3 friends are trapped Smith, Richard and Alpha
Smith and Richard made plan to kill Alpha independently, Smith added poison to Alpha's bottle so he'll die after drinking it.
Richard made a hole in aplha's bottle so he die due to dehydration after 3 hours alpha died due to dehydration.
Now who is the murdurer Smith claimed that Alpha never drunk his poisoned water so his is innocent . While Richard said " I just made a hole in his bottle in order to save him from posion.
This made situation pardoxical.
5. Lawyer's Paradox
Once in ancient times a student doesn't have money to study Law he reached a teacher and said " I'll pay your fees when I win my first case" after that he never fought and case a the teacher sued him .
Teacher said :- Even if I lose the case I'll get money according to the deal , and if I won the case then I surely get money 💰 because court has permitted.
Student defended and said :- " if I won the case i will not give money because court permmit me that and if I lose case according to deal I never won so I don't have to pay money .
That's quite difficult for judge to choose .
6. Omniptence Paradox
According to people God is supreme powerful and he is the creator and create everything , so if we say god to make a most heavy stone of universe that even god can lift it .
So if God is able to lift stone he can't create anything. And if he is unable to lift stone he is not superme power or most powerful.
7.The liars Paradox
Suppose There is a man who always lie . He said " I always Speak lie." So as we know he always lie , then this statement is also a lie . But if he always lie then this satament is correct, That's too much.
Here is a extra paradox.
8. The unstoppable paradox
There is a shelid which cant be broken and also there a hammer which cant be stopped.
Suppose I attacked with hammer on sheild then,
If the shield is un breakeable the hammer will be stopped but if the hammer is unstoppable it will break the sheild .
That is simmilarly to thor attacking caption America's sheild.
