paradox

Die woordeboekdefinisie van die woord "paradoks" is: 'n skynbaar absurde of self-teenstrydige stelling of stelling wat, wanneer dit ondersoek of verduidelik word, gegrond of waar kan blyk te wees. 'n Paradoks kan ook verwys na 'n situasie of uitkoms wat teenstrydig of onmoontlik blyk te wees, maar by verdere ontleding, blyk dit waar of geldig te wees. Oor die algemeen is 'n paradoks iets wat onlogies of teenstrydig blyk te wees, maar eintlik 'n waarheid of 'n werklikheid is wat nie onmiddellik sigbaar is nie.
