Recommended Posts

The only difference I can think of in between them is that paradoxes are usually two contradictory words eg "pretty ugly" and Oxymorons are usually contradictory sentences?

 

Anyone have some oxymorons they would like to make up. I'll need more time he he but can come up with a paradox "trebly bass"

Paradox's tend to be suituations that are impossiable/confusing, where an oxymoron is a serries of words that either contrict themslefs or make sense literaly but not logiaicly

 

some famous paradox's include:

Schrödinger's cat -----> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat_paradox

Galileo's paradox

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%27s_paradox

 

and others again just wiki paradox or in google "define: paradox"

 

some famous oxymorons include

 

Microsoft Works

inductive logic

anecdotal evidence

Virtual Reality

etc
