Re: impossible statements: not related directly but....

not related directly but....

Reading this reminded me of a theorem that I learned in a logics class, i'm sure takers of logic are familiar with this. I forgot what it's called but I personally call it the Law of Contradiction (or The "Anything" Tautology):
[S^~S] => C
This means if you take a statement that is true and its negation (the opposite) is also true, then you can imply anything from this contradiction.

For example, If man can be happy and unhappy at the same time, then the sky is falling. You can literally apply anything since "C" is merely a variable and the statements it can represent is endless.

If anyone wants the proof for this tautology, I can do it. By the way, since this is a tautology, it is always true.

So... I leave with this statement.
If the Ice Breakers liquid ice is ice and not ice, then the secret to hapiness is pi.
