Quantum quasi-paradoxes and quantum Sorites paradoxes.

Progress in Physics, April, 2005 by Smarandache, Florentin

There can be generated many paradoxes or quasi-paradoxes that may occur from the combination of quantum and non-quantum worlds in physics. Even the passage from the micro-cosmos to the macro-cosmos, and reciprocally, can generate unsolved questions or counter-intuitive ideas. We define a quasi-paradox as a statement which has a prima facie self-contradictory support or an explicit contradiction, but which is not completely proven as a paradox. We present herein four elementary quantum quasi-paradoxes and their corresponding quantum Sorites paradoxes, which form a class of quantum quasi-paradoxes.

1 Introduction

According to the Dictionary of Mathematics (Borowski and Borwein, 1991 [1]), the paradox is "an apparently absurd or self-contradictory...
