Examples of a paradox?...

[Polymath257]

If you want a good list of paradoxes from a wide variety of subjects, look at the wikipedia page:

List of paradoxes - Wikipedia

It should include most of the standard paradoxes of the major areas of thought.

 

[Aupmanyav]

"You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't."

A paradox exists for those who do not understand. Arjuna also faced this problem on the field of war in Mahabharata BhagawqdGita (1.28 - 1.46, 2.4 - 2.8). BhagawdGita has the solution:

"Yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi, sańgaḿ tyaktvā, Dhanañjaya;
siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā, samatvaḿ yoga ucyate."
BhagawadGita 2.48

Perform your duty with equipoise, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga.

Think what is your duty, what is your 'dharma', and do that with all your strength.

Does anyone here have an example of a paradox?

My example of a paradox is:

"You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't."

What's your examples of a paradox?

John Connor in the Terminator movies & tv show.
When you look closely at the story, you'll see that it is IMPOSSIBLE for John Connor to be born naturally.
- Kyle Reese was born in 2008
- Sarah Connor born in 1965 dies in 1997

Now when you do the math, Sarah would be 43 by the time Kyle Reese is born, but she dies 11 years before he is born.
How it ACTUALLY happened, John Connor being born is a total mystery.

Now for the Paradox. If John Connor succeeds in ending Judgement Day before it happens, he'll never be born, and Time would reset to where Skynet gets made anyways & fulfills it's Judgement Day.
On top of this, John Connor CANNOT defeat Skynet before a Terminator is sent to 1984 to kill his mother where he would send his father to protect her, knowing he would impregnate her and die fighting the Terminator.

All Skynet REALLY has to do to win: Not build a Time Machine. Without the Time Machine, John can't send Kyle Reese back in time, Sarah never gets impregnated with John, and Skynet doesn't have to assassinate the Leader of the Human Resistance, cause at that point he never existed.

For me, it involves the use of time machines.

Such as: The inventor of a time machine goes back in time and murders both his parents before he was conceived. From whence comes the inventor?

According to one theory, as soon as he murders his parents, he never have existed. No one would remember him. History is readjusted.
Ever see the film "the Butterfly effect"?

Dr. Pepper and Dr. Scholls

I tried google searching that and I mostly got Medical results, apparently there is an actual Doctor who's last name is Pepper lol.
But I'm guessing you meant two competing companies that make basically the same soda.

Military Intelligence. Not even government can solve that one.

I'll do you one better: Trump intelligence.

My wife's butt is expanding faster than the universe that contains it. Wait, that's not a paradox. It's just gross.
