paradox - a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.
Post your favorite paradox here! Explain why it is a paradox, unless it is painfully obvious. You may also use this thread to discuss different paradoxes if you must.
Here is mine: This is a lie.
If this is a lie, how can the assertion that this is a lie be true? If the fact that this is a lie is a lie, then it is the truth? But if it is the truth then that means it is a lie..
Once there was a boy who hated his grandpa with a passion, he found a way to travel back in time and decided he would go kill him when he was young. He went back in time, ran him over with a car and he died. Soon after he disappeared since his grandpa wasnt able to have his dad. Since he disappeared, he wasnt able to kill his grandpa so he lived and so did his son and so did his only to repeat the cycle over and over again is that it?
The paradox mentioned in WoD: M;tA. Simply said it is what happens when a non magician sees magic* happening, and reality tries to correct itself. This can lead to demons from the Abyss being released, or the mage to be distorted.
*something that cannot be explained by any means, thus being real magic
If it counts I will gor for Schrodingers cat cat mainly because it is one of the first paradox type things I learnt about. and because I don;t like cats much.
