Abstract: Schrödinger's Cat and The EPR paradox, are two famous paradoxes of interpretation. The less wellknown Quantum Zeno Paradox is a paradox of prediction. This paradox is however connected to the question of whether there exists an arrow of time and has implications in Quantum Chaos. Being a paradox of interpretation, it may be tested.
