A paradox that contradicts or opposes another paradox, or a statement that seems false but is actually true when it challenges a paradoxical claim.
From counter- (against) + paradox (from Greek paradoxos, 'contrary to expectation'). A compound that combines counter- with a Greek-derived term to describe opposed logical impossibilities.
Counterparadoxes show up in quantum physics where particles can seem to be in two places at once—but when scientists created experiments that opposed these paradoxes, they discovered nature was even weirder than the paradox itself suggested.
