An expression or revelation of an inner or inherent contradiction(Merrian Webster's Dictionary, 2002,p 262). A logically valid argument based on premises that are generally accepted as true, yielding either a contradiction or conclusion that conflicts with other generally accepted beliefs. Such paradoxes include the Grandfather Paradox, a famous theory that denies the possibility of time travel, stating that if you went back in time and killed your grandfather, you would phase out of existence. However, this could not have happened, if you did not exist, you could not have gone back in time and killed your grandfather. This is an example of how paradoxes work, generally ending in an eternal loop that is not plausible within the currently known laws of physics. However, some paradoxes have been "proven" possible, although others would argue that that shows it was never a paradox in the first place. Such as the Impossible Triangle, which is a famous picture of a triangle which is "impossible" to make, however, artists have constructed an almost spitting image of the triangle, despite it's apparent impossibility. (ex.) The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false.
