Paper

For some social occasion, lets say a rabbit, to move from
its witness hole to another hole, it must(prenominal)iness first area the
middle(prenominal) point between the two rabbit holes. But to reach
the point, it must first reach that poop point. Unfortunately,
to reach the quarter point, it must reach
the point that is iodin-eighth the distance. But first, it
must reach the point one-sixteenth the distance.
And so on and so on. In short, a rabbit, or any other
thing, must overhaul through an infinite number of
points to go anywhere. Because some carve up of time
is required to reach each of these points, a thing
would require an infinite amount of time to move
anywhere, and that effectively rules out the possibility
of motion. For a rabbit to move from one hole to a second
hole, it must at each moment of its travel occupy
a space refer to its length. But when a thing
occupies a space enough to its length, it is at rest.




Thus, because the rabbitâ€"or any other thingsâ€"
must occupy a space equal to its length at each
moment, it must be at rest at each moment. Thus, it
cannot move. Well, yes, it seems obvious that things move.
Which means either that there is a mistake in
ZenoÂs logic or that rabbits, and fair(a) about every
other thing, are not in truth the way they seem to be.
Zeno advanceed the second alternative. You, probably,
will favor the first alternative. So what is the mistake
in ZenoÂs logic?
Zeno used logic to demonstrate that motion is an illusion.
