Philosophy: from Greek φιλοσοφία, philosophia, literally "love of wisdom"
Liar paradox - If this sentence were true, then what it says would be the truth, implying that it is false which is a contradiction, so if it were false then it is false that this sentence is false, hence it is true which is also a contradiction.

Even without context no one can be 100 meters tall.
Completely irrelevant, because even statements which might not be true still assume their own truthfulness. You are saying that the sentence would instead mean "It is false that you are 100 meters tall," so the appropriate response to that question would be affirmative, which is extremely illogical.
Context was not mentioned in post. Sentences can be false and/or wrong.
Because they assume their own truthfulness. Tell me, again, how "It is true that you are you are 100 meters tall" is different from "you are 100 meters tall"? Are you saying that instead it should be "It is NOT true that you are 100 meters tall?"

Then I guess this statement is true:
You know everything.

No, that statement is false, but it is false because it presumes its truthfulness, because if it didn't, only then could you say that it is false, do you get it?
