The problem with most Paradoxes seems to be that they just skip reality and go straight for the logics. And Ed Harken: I love you man! In a Maddox kinda way... But still! The only Paradox I've heard of so far is the one about Achilles and the turtle, it's truly anoying in much the same way that zen buddhism is. The only exception is that the paradoxes are meant to prove something, the koans of zen buddhism don't have to prove anything, they don't even have to mean anything. Actually I think I'll stick with zen buddhism, logic is too illogical for me... And to counter Hec, I only dislike Zeno since he wanted to prove that nothing ever changes. I don't agree with that view, but it also depends on what kinds of changes he was talking about. If what he was refering to mater only, I agree that he was right, but the shape of the matter shifts from time to time, which I would deffinelty call changes. And Padre, I apologies if i came of as rude. Please do tell about the elevator paradox, I'll give it a try, even if I make a fool out of myself.  Not rude at all, there are NO rules here. Hec's gonna have some problems with you "not agreeing" with zeno though
