0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 you mean like a "paradox often succeeds in explaining the inexplicable and revealing clarity in a logical impossibility" would putting illogical impossibility create a double negative?

0 Guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Illogical impossibility is not actually a double negative because it does not mean logical possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 All you need is a new definition for paradox that uses a paradox to help? Sounds fun. I would prefer to build a hyperdimentional paradox, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
