A paradox, also known as an antinomy, is a logically self-contradictory statement or a statement that runs contrary to one's expectation. It is a statement that, despite apparently valid reasoning from true premises, leads to a seemingly self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion.

example= Nobody goes to that restaurant; it's too crowded. Don't go near the water 'til you have learned how to swim. Let the God Almighty create a stone, which he is not capable of lifting.
