A paradox is a statement that seems contradictory, but may be true in fact. A contradiction is one thing that absolutely does not agree with another. Very close but ultimately different.

A contradiction is when one says that two mutually exclusive things are true at the same time ( I am leaving and I am staying).
A paradox is when an event can not happen yet does (the event negates its cause prior to the event)

A paradox is a chain that has a specific end. a contradiction is when some one says something and then does the opposite of it.

A paradox is only a SEEMING contradiction, one in which the words used are to be understood at different levels.
Example: A man must lose his life in order to gain it.
Here the word "life" has two different levels of meaning

a contradiction is once you tell some one they're incorrect. Like "whats up stan, its tremendously much 5 already." "no dude, its in basic terms 4." a paradox is whilst something looks diverse than it extremely is. irony isn't straightforward 2 clarify..... like if somebody would not comprehend something completely obvious or...... ok, heres a greater helpful thank you to describe it: In 2d grade we had "twin day" Me and my ultimate pal of the time, camille went as twins. Shes a brief, slender phillipino woman. i become a tall, obese white woman. all the adults observed the irony in that. We did no longer because of the fact we've been little and youngsters are so harmless they dont decide via appearence.

ok i think a contradiction is basically if you were to just say two things that were the opposite of each other but a paradox is when this happen that shouldn't happen that there is no logical reason why it could happen

A contradiction would exist if I told you the sky were red on a blue sky day. A paradox exists if i then presented you with a purple sky.

a contradiction envolves two entities, a paradox a single.

A condtradiction can't be reconciled, a paradox can but the answer seems to defy logic.
