Description:  Yablo's Paradox Yablo's paradox is a logical paradox similar to the liar paradox published by Stephen Yablo in 1993. Unlike the liar paradox, which uses a single sentence, this paradox uses an infinite sequence of statements, each of which refers to the truth values of the later statements in the sequence. Analysis of the statements shows there is no consistent way to assign truth values to all the statements, although no statement directly refers to itself. Implies there is no way to coherently assign a truth value to any of the sentences in the countably infinite sequence of sentences, each of the form, ñAll of the subsequent sentences are false.î
