You may have watched science fictional movies, have you ever thought, from where they get such Mind boggling contents.
If the adult only knew the song because the angry windmill man taught him, and the angry windmill man only knew it because the young boy played it, and if the young boy only knew because his adult self went back in time after learning it, then who created the song? Where did the information come from? That is the paradox.

INTRODUCTION
First of all, we should understand what the term "paradox" really means. You might have heard about a question, 'pehle murgi ya pehle anda'? (What comes first egg or hen ? ) could you answer ?
hus, a Paradox is such a situation or statement in which two things are self contradictory and seems impossible at the same time, in an infinite loop. It means it can't be true or can't be false at the same time. Once again think about the egg and hen.
"Nothing is true, then if nothing is true, this sentence has to be wrong"
Most of us often ignore such conditions and never think of it seriously. Have you ever thought, 'what comes first, a day or a night' ? No one has the answer yet and thus this is a Paradox.
SOME PUZZLING STORIES
✓An adult goes to a windmill hut and meets an angry man there. The angry windmill man mentions a young boy who played a magical song and messed up his windmill. The adult learns the song from the windmill man and plays it. The adult then goes back in time to when he was a young boy. The young boy goes to windmill. He plays the song for the man who lives in the windmill. The song messes up the windmill causing the man to get angry.
If the adult only knew the song because the angry windmill man taught him, and the angry windmill man only knew it because the young boy played it, and if the young boy only knew because his adult self went back in time after learning it, then who created the song? Where did the information come from? That is the paradox.

✓Lets take a story to understand this.
In 1850, Noah's horse was spooked by something, and almost took Noah over a cliff, had it not been for a strange man stopping the horse. This strange man was later honored by having a statue of him erected. Two hundred years later, Noah goes back in time to sight-see, and sees someone's horse about to go over a cliff. He rushes to his aid and saves his life. (this story is taken from a wikipedia article)
So how was Noah able to save himself? If you say that his future saved him, then how did the FUTURE survive for that long to save himself.
