>>>As far as I'm concerned a paradox is merely a measure of our inability to completely understand a situation.
Aye! I think you are absolutely right there, Faldage. If you read scientific books, you'll find that many things that were initially classified as paradoxes have been sorted out once we got the knowledge and technology to understand them.
EDIT:
Ooo, and I forgot to add...also with knowledge and technological advancement, many things that we thought were cast in stone turn out to be incorrect - so it's not just the paradoxes that get booted about.
