Results found in Swedish dictionary Wiki: En paradox är en oöverenstämmelse mellan vad en teori utsäger och vad sunda förnuftet förväntar. Förekomsten av paradoxer hos en teori är förstås besvärande, men undviks ofta genom att inta positionen att sunda förnuftet formats av hur saker ser ut att vara, och inte av hur de (egentligen) är, dvs till teorins fördel. Paradoxer i de empiriska vetenskaperna orsakas vanligen av att teorierna beskriver extrema beteenden som inte är vardagsnära och överensstämmer med erfarenheterna från den makrovärld människans tankevärld formats från.
