What Wikipedia says

In classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and similar logical systems, the principle of explosion is the theorem according to which any statement can be proven from a contradiction. That is, from a contradiction, any proposition (including its negation) can be inferred; this is known as deductive explosion.
