Word of the day : paradox

[Paco Dennis]

Paradox

a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.
"in a paradox, he has discovered that stepping back from his job has increased the rewards he gleans from it"

• a statement or proposition that, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.
  "a potentially serious conflict between quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity known as the information paradox"
• a situation, person, or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities.
  "the mingling of deciduous trees with elements of desert flora forms a fascinating ecological paradox"
