Schrödoctor's Paradox:

Imagine we were to place an alien being - "a doctor," let's call him - into a closed environment - let's call that environment "a show." To apply further parameters, imagine that the show is constant while the doctor is forever being swapped out for another doctor; also, imagine that in order for the show to exist, there must be a doctor, but only one doctor, in it.

That means, even in the quickest of swap-outs, there will be a moment, however finite, when the old doctor has been removed and the new doctor has yet to be inserted, leaving the show briefly doctor-less, and therefore, nonexistent. Thus, the paradox is, how does our obsession with the show continue unimpeded even as the show does not?
