A paradox is like a fun puzzle that doesn't seem to make sense at first. Imagine if I said, 'This sentence is a lie.' If it's telling the truth, then it must be a lie, but if it's a lie, then it's true! Paradoxes make our brains think in interesting ways and show that sometimes things can be both true and false at the same time.
