This is a paragraph full of falsehoods.

Even though the above paradoxes look weird and very simple, other than the 5th one, all of these paradoxes can be proven using mathematical logic. If you feel like the answer is obvious, most of the time, you take some laws for granted. It is like believing 1+1 =2. Yes, it is obvious. But have you ever thought about why 1+1 =2? If you have learned Real Analysis, you know why 1+1=2 for real numbers. These paradoxes are also like that. They are simple until you apply principles of mathematical logic…
