Michelle,

I just to think that paradoxes have no relation to the how the world is, and that they are not part of how nature is. But now I don't know what do think. For example, if I say "It is forbidden to firbid" then it wouldn't make sense but it could happen. There much more examples: "Everything I say is a lie-I say this"...

And we always think that fallacies are wrong and hould not be used at all in our development of knowledge, but it is preciselly a fallacy the basis of all of human knwoledge, of all of science: INDUCTION. "I see that dogs, cats and tigers are mammals and all have four legs, therefore all mammals have four legs" is a fallacy, but not because the conclusion is wrong (which it is), but because the method itself is wrong. If the final postulate was right (for our present knowledge) we would think that it is a correct argumentation, but is not.
