Something that is both right and wrong. Something that contradicts itself, and usu. thereby proves a thesis by refutation or instantiation.
If I went back in time and killed my mother, then I would be dead. But I would never have been able to go back in time to kill my mother if I died.

1: Something that contradicts itself , eg:
You need A to get B. You cant get A without having B.
2: A popular Hacking/Cracking team which makes keygens and warez. Their programs often have catchy techno loops in the background.

A situation which theoretically should not be able to exist but in reality does; a self-contradiction.
You have to have a permit to drive a car, but you can't get a permit until you've driven a car--that's a paradox.

Russell's Paradox is a good example. Russell poses the question: "If R is a set of all sets which don't contain themselves, does R contain itself?" If it does, then it doesn't. If it doesn't, then it does.

A catch-22 of sorts. Basically, it means that something counterintuitive to common sense's dictations could be potentially true as well....or in layman's terms, a no-win situation.
