Russell's Paradox
Introduction
Is the ultimate set of all sets a member of itself or not?
This paradox appears to be singularly unsolvable.
Philosophy
Russell's paradox relates to a branch of philosophy called set theory.
Sets
As its name suggests this theory uses the idea of categorising all parts of a problem into different sets or groups.
Rules
The rules for creating these sets are infinitely debatable, it depends what method you choose to divide your different objects, ideas, or answers.
Relative
All details are relative in other words.

Assumed
The sets were assumed to be hierarchical and this is where the paradox arises from.
Paradox
The paradox within set theory and many similar theories is whether the set of all sets is a member of itself.
Example
Is the word "word" a word?
Summary
Russell noticed it was impossible to conclusively prove beyond all doubt that the highest possible set was or indeed was not a member of itself.
The Problem
Is the set of all sets a member of itself or not?
The Answer
Problem
It cannot be unchangingly proven that the set of all sets is a member of itself.
Answers
Whichever "yes or no answer" you choose another person such as myself could state the opposite with equal conviction.

Three
We need to use three simultaneous answers at all relative times to be totally accurate, and to account for the fact that all energy within the universe may perform three simultaneous actions at any one time.
Is the set of all "sets" a member of itself?
1. The set of all sets is a member of itself.
2. The set of all sets is not a member of itself.
3. The set of all sets is neutral.
Simultaneously.
Am I wrong?
I simultaneously oppose, agree with, and neutralise all criticism ad infinitum.
My point is literal.
There is no point creating a theory of everything that doesn't work.
