A statement that seems contrary to truth but may be true is known as a paradox. Paradoxes often challenge our understanding and reveal deeper insights or complexities within a given situation. For example, the statement "less is more" appears contradictory, yet it can be true in contexts such as design or minimalism, where simplicity enhances effectiveness. Such statements provoke thought and encourage us to reconsider our assumptions.
Paradox
true
fact
by switching the truth values of the hypothesis and conclusion, it is called the contrapositive of the original statement. The contrapositive of a true conditional statement will also be true, while the contrapositive of a false conditional statement will also be false.
This question is unanswerable. How can a "statement of truth" be made which "is not true". Truth does not change. It cannot be that something was true when it was said and later it became untrue.
Paradox
A necessary truth is a statement that is true in all possible circumstances. An example of a necessary truth is "224." This statement will always be true, regardless of any circumstances or conditions.

For the statement to be true it would need to have a positive truth value. A positive truth value cannot be derived from such ambiguous terms as we see here. Therefore, the statement is not true.

No, the converse of the statement "If I am hungry then I am not happy" is "If I am not happy then I am hungry." While the original statement is assumed to be true, its converse does not necessarily follow that truth. The truth of the original statement does not guarantee the truth of its converse; there could be other reasons for not being happy that do not involve hunger.
The argument from silence fallacy occurs when someone assumes that a statement is true because there is no evidence or information to the contrary. This can impact the validity of an argument by making it weak or unreliable, as the absence of evidence does not necessarily prove the truth of a claim.
The statement "there is no objective truth" is self-contradictory because it claims to be objectively true. This creates a logical paradox, as it undermines its own assertion.
