dvb, at least in regards to Relativity, there are no real paradoxes. There are some things that appear to be paradoxes at first glance, but once you understand the entire theory, you can see that they are not.

Yes, under Special Relativity, two observers who are moving relative to each other will each see the other's clock as ticking more slowly than their own clock - in fact, each clock is ticking more slowly than the other clock. But that's not a paradox (although it is a pair o' clocks).
