Do you mean paradoxes as in "surprising but correct predictions of a theory" (like time dilation), or paradoxes as in "logical inconsistencies caused by incorrect calculations that look correct to a novice" (like the twin paradox)?
 

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
