Michael's paradox ;)

English literature, "a lot of findings and learnings and yes a lot to be found and learned".
And why only English be it any language, all we need is to Think Differently. We do come across unique piece of artifacts we hardly pay any heed to and that has led to the decline of interest in findings related to literature.

As a part time poet, its my sole responsibility to make the masses aware of my findings. My findings are not tested and someday or other I wish them to be printed in school books because I have full faith on my observations.

Today, I am going to put forward one such finding. Let me know whether you, as a reader support me with this notion or not. I will welcome the critics as they make me stronger and finer with my research and findings. In the comment section, I want the public to put more such examples if you are good to go with what I say, in the end, let us call it a Day :))

Sentence One :-

There is no one else in this entire universe,who can replace thee, without any error, than thou

Sentence Two :-

There is no one in this entire universe,without any error,who can replace thee than thou

The above two sentences may appear similar but they aren't, actually they differ a lot in their meanings. In the first sentence it means that in the phase of replacement of the concerned person with anyone else there is a always a probability of committing some error, hope you all remember the concept of Chirality (specially the Science students-Chemistry Class XII CBSE NCERT). In the second sentence, it says that the concerned person is without any error and nothing is said about the replacement process. It means that as there is no one in this entire universe without any error except the concerned individual thus there can be no replacement.

There are a lot of sentences where you will come across such phrases or group of words that change the meaning of a line if their place is changed and can be caught only under deep observation. They might appear similar but let me tell you they are poles apart. They become quite visible if you pay some attention to it. Such phrases or group of words are called as the 'Michael's paradox'. They are the game changers, they change the complete meaning of the sentence with a slight change in their place and that is the beauty of literature.

In the above two listed example 'without any error' is the Michael's paradox. In one case it puts emphasis on the rule of replacement while in the other case it compares the concerned individual with the rest of the entities. Isn't it interesting? or Still confused? Well, it took me long to think about it and thus all should be given ample time. So go ahead, think deep, think different and come up with more such Michael's paradox and in case you oppose them to be already founded or present in the literature, do let me know about it.


" Everyone looks at the sun and call it a day, people are busy with their chores and still no one is able to find the ultimate way, do whatever you like and wish today, time will never stay around, think every moment, inventions are made even in dreams, this is what the Holy books say :)) "
