Musiquarium

I am creating a flyer for a night at Musiquarium Leeds which now has been decided on that it will be called "Paradox"

Not really sure what it means even tho I have heard of it, so here is some research.

par·a·dox/ˈparəˌdäks/

Noun:

A statement or proposition that, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that... A seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.

A paradox is a statement or concept that contains conflicting ideas. In logic, a paradox is a statement that contradicts itself; for example, the statement "I never tell the truth" is a paradox because if the statement is true (T), it must be false (F) and if it is false (F), it must be true (T). In everyday language, a paradox is a concept that seems absurd or contradictory, yet is true. In a Windows environment, for instance, it is a paradox that when a user wants to shut down their computer, it is necessary to first click "start".

Etymology:

From the Greek, "incredible, contrary to opinion or expectation"

Examples and Observations:

• "The swiftest traveler is he that goes afoot."
  (Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854)



• "If you wish to preserve your secret, wrap it up in frankness."
  (Alexander Smith, "On the Writing of Essays." Dreamthorp, 1854)



• "I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
  (Mother Teresa)



• "War is peace."
  "Freedom is slavery."
  "Ignorance is strength."

going to scribble down some drawings of thing that I think are a paradox....

maybe a chicken and an egg....I also like the idea of pressing start to shut down a computer....not on a mac tho.
