The stability–instability paradox is an international relations theory regarding the effect of nuclear weapons and mutually assured destruction.It states that when two countries each have nuclear weapons, the probability of a direct war between them greatly decreases, but the probability of minor or indirect conflicts between them increases.

Topics about Paradoxes in general should be placed in relevant topic categories. Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large.
Spaceship paradox or rocket paradox could refer to: Bell's spaceship paradox , a relativistic paradox Pendulum rocket fallacy , a simple mechanical paradox relating to rocket stability
The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [1]Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result.
BIBO stability (Bounded Input, Bounded Output stability), in signal processing and control theory; Directional stability, the tendency for a body moving with respect to a medium to point in the direction of motion; Elastic stability, the resistance of a structural member to buckling; Flight dynamics, including longitudinal stability
Physicists have long known that some solutions to the theory of general relativity contain closed timelike curves—for example the Gödel metric.Novikov discussed the possibility of closed timelike curves (CTCs) in books he wrote in 1975 and 1983, [1] offering the opinion that only self-consistent trips back in time would be permitted.

Wikipedia also contains paradoxes. In Wikipedia, there are a number of paradoxes. This is intended to be a high-level overview of the major conceptual paradoxes within our project. Paradox 1: Immutable change Authoritative writing strives for perpetual immutability, or "perfection." Wikis facilitate dynamic change that negates immutability and ...
