Richard's paradox is a logical paradox that arises in the context of defining real numbers and dealing with certain concepts of definability in mathematics. It was introduced by the mathematician Jules Richard in 1905. The paradox goes as follows: 1. Consider the set of all real numbers between 0 and 1. We can think of these numbers as being definable by finite descriptions in a formal language.
