The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The paradox arises from part of the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem, Thoralf Skolem was the first to discuss the seemingly contradictory aspects of the theorem, and to discover the relativity of set-theoretic notions now known as non-absoluteness.
- Although it is not an actual antinomy like Russell's paradox, the result is typically called a paradox and was described as a "paradoxical state of affairs" by Skolem.
- In model theory, a model corresponds to a specific interpretation of a formal language or theory.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Skolem's paradox article was read about 13,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
