So, let's take a paradox - two things that cannot exist together.

Let's assume that the two things DO coexist.

Is this possible??? Huh, is it???

The problem is in your definition of paradox. If a paradox is two things that cannot exit together then they cannot. If you find two things that do coexist you thought were mutually exclusive, then there was a problem with your understanding of the two things. They obviously did not constitute a paradox, but a flaw in your understanding.

A fundamental law of physics is that no two bodies can occupy the same time and space. You cannot create or assume a paradox when there is none. Paradoxes result from the laws of physics, not from assumptions.

They can't coexist in the physical universe.
