Can truth ever contradict itself?

Question

Can truth ever contradict itself?

Answer 1

Consider the truth of this sentence--

"This sentence is false."

If it's true, it must be false, right?

Look up the Epimenides Paradox for more on this.

Answer 2

if you think something but think it is exactly what everyone can see that you have an idea for that can be confusing!

Answer 3

No, it only appears to do so, because we do not know all of the facts.  

Answer 4

Truth by default is 'uniform' - it can only exist as a fixed entity, either something is true or it is not!

. . . . ie My name is XYZ, so either the name is XYZ which then would constitute as truth, or it is not XYZ, in that case it simply can not be true, as it is contradicting the facts stated.

There is a possibility of leeway, where we can only speculate due to unavailability of the facts, in that case we simply can not state something as fact, either as true or untrue, eg Aliens exist.

Simply put something is either True or it is Not!

Answer 5

It's impossible for it not to.

Answer 6

yes it will eventually ,

the number of facts / assumptions we made about this world is increasing ,  so our knowledge is growing , this increasing knowledge generates internal friction and fallacies.

You can see it as one person who talks and say things, next a second person comes, both know more than one but also have more disagreements, then 3 persons know even more but also will have more disagreements.

Answer 7

Absolute truth should leave no room for contradiction.

If it is questionable or opposable it ceases to be the truth but just a speculation.

Answer 8

Yes, see Nagarjuna's tetralemma.
