Russell's Paradox
Russell's paradox is the most famous of the logical or set-theoretical paradoxes. The paradox arises within naive set theory by considering the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. Such a set appears to be a member of itself if and only if it is not a member of itself, hence the paradox. Some sets, such as the set of all teacups, are not members of themselves. Other sets, such as the set of all non-teacups, are members of themselves. Call the set of all sets that are not members of themselves " R ." If R is a member of itself, then by definition it must not be a member of itself. Similarly, if R is not a member of itself, then by definition it must be a member of itself. Discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, the paradox has prompted much work in logic, set theory and the philosophy and foundations of mathematics.
History of the paradox
Russell appears to have discovered his paradox in the late spring of 1901

Sorites Paradox
This phenomenon at the heart of the paradoxes is now recognised as the phenomenon of vagueness . Once identified, vagueness can be seen to be a feature of syntactic categories other than predicates, nonetheless one speaks primarily of the soriticality of predicates. Names, adjectives, adverbs and so on are only susceptible to paradoxical sorites reasoning in a derivative sense. Sorites arguments of the paradoxical form are to be distinguished from multi-premise syllogisms (polysyllogisms) which are sometimes also referred to as sorites arguments. Whilst both polysyllogisms and sorites paradoxes are chain-arguments, the former need not be paradoxical in nature and the latter need not be syllogistic in form.

paradox Welcome to the homepage of paradox! paradox is a tool that processes firstorder logic problems and tries to find finite-domain models for them.
http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~koen/paradox/
Paradox Welcome to the homepage of Paradox! Paradox is a tool that processes first-order logic problems and tries to find finite-domain models for them. Paradox is written by Koen Claessen and Niklas Sörensson News
  • Paradox won the SAT/Models class (generated most models) in the CASC 2003 competetion for first-order logic tools!
  • The current stable version is Paradox v. 1.0-casc . You can download it below. Usage Paradox reads problems in TPTP and Otter syntax. It understands TPTP-style clauses and formulas, and it also supports the TPTP include command. Further, Paradox can read Otter-style clause sets, though only if you switch on prolog_style_variables. Paradox produces one of the following three results: CONTRADICTORY, when it has shown that there is no model, SATISFIABLE, when it has found a model, or INCONCLUSIVE, when it has given up. On request, a list of function and predicate tables over a finite domain can be produced when a model is found. Here is a list of options (which you get when typing paradox help Implementation Paradox is mainly implemented in Haskell , but a part of it is an incremental SAT-solver implemented in C++. They are linked together using Haskell's Foreign Function Interface. The techniques we use in Paradox are described in a

    11. The Possibilities Of FTL: Or Fermi's Paradox Reconsidered

    The Possibilities of FTL:
    Or Fermi's Paradox Reconsidered
    by F.E. Freiheit IV When facts are few, speculations are most likely to represent individual psychology.
    - Carl Jung When you have eliminated the impossible, what is left, no matter how unlikely, is the truth.
    - Sherlock Holmes/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle There is nothing so big nor so crazy that one out of a million technological societies may not feel itself driven to do, provided it is physically possible.
    - Freeman J. Dyson
    1. Are we alone in the universe?
    The drive to place humanity at the center of the universe has led to a stream of assumptions that, as facts have been collected, are shown to be ill founded. The Ptolemaic Earth centered view was replaced by Copernican Sun centered view which in its time was also replaced. The assumption that we are alone in the universe is also under threat of replacement. One of the more interesting aspects of our apparent aloneness was pointed out by Enrico Fermi and is know as Fermi's Paradox Fermi's Paradox may be succinctly stated as: Extraterrestrials should have colonized Earth long ago, but they have not. So where are they? Whether you agree with the point that Earth was colonized or not the fact remains that no concrete evidence has ever been found indicating a visitation of Earth by extraterrestrials. This is in itself is a very significant point whose ramifications I intend to explore here.

    The Epimenides Paradox
    I read about the Epimenides Paradox in Douglas Hofstadter's fascinating Goedel, Escher, Bach Consider Statement A. Statement A: "Statement A is not true." Is Statement A true? Statement A is not true. Argument 1 explains why. Argument 1:
    SUPPOSE Statement A is true.
    Then the proposition that Statement A states is true.
    But Statement A states that Statement A is not true.
    So, Statement A is not true, contrary to our initial supposition.
    So, IN FACT, Statement A is not true. Unfortunately, Statement A can't be not true either. Argument 2:
    2.1 SUPPOSE Statement A is not true.
    2.2. Then the proposition that Statement A states is not true.
    2.3 But Statement A states that Statement A is not true.
    2.4 So Statement A is not not true, contrary to our initial supposition.
    2.5 So, IN FACT, Statement A is not not true. Your mind should be blown. You should not be saying, "That's puzzling." You should be saying, "My mind is exploding." Argument 1 proves that Statement A is not true. Argument 2 proves that Statement A is not not true. We have proved a contradiction, which is impossible.

    18. UFO Skeptic
    Suggests that aliens might be preparing mankind for the eventuality of meeting species from other worlds.
    http://www.ufoskeptic.org/contact.html
    ufoskeptic.org
    Fermi's Paradox and the Preparation for Contact Hypothesis The famous physicist, Enrico Fermi, was referring to such an argument when he asked: "Where are they?" Since he was a prominent (and very smart) scientist, his simple question has been given a duly profound name: Fermi's paradox. The paradox is resolved, of course, if the answer is: "Well, they are already here!" (and possibly have been for a very long time and perhaps have even been involved in the rather sudden emergence of homo sapiens sapiens, but that may be over the top, so ignore that last conjecture if it is too much, though I seem to recall that even Sagan considered that possibility at some point). Their being here but surreptitiously would answer Fermi and at the same time address a second common objection to the UFO phenomenon by scientists: that the observations indicate such utterly nonsensical, bizarre behaviour that it just could not possibly be real. Intelligent visitors just would not pull such disreputable antics as have been reported. It is tempting to argue, as some do, that since the visitors are not behaving like proper alien explorers, there are no visitors in the first place. (For some reason this logic brings to mind Galileo attempting to get the Cardinals to look through his telescope.) To counter this argument, I would like to suggest one possible rationale that might, in principle at least (no real world guarantees), account for the widespread, disjoint kind of behavior that the UFO phenomenon has manifested over 50 years. The reason for proposing this "preparation for contact hypothesis" (which is certainly no original idea of mine) is simply to facilitate a "suspension of disbelief" so that the UFO evidence can be confronted on its own terms without the mental roadblock that the phenomenon violates all common sense, or more precisely the common sense of modern western society, and that of the scientific community in particular, and hence cannot be real.
