Perhaps it is the way it appears on my screen and not necessarily the way you post it.
I tried to follow your thoughts on Zeno's paradox ... but could not decipher whether you believed it or not ??
Zeno's Paradox is no paradox at all ... it is simply an example of the difficulties earlier societies had before it was discovered how to divide numbers correctly. If you don't agree with this then you find yourself in their situation.

Dear Graybeard:
Please excuse my partial obfuscations. It's not any kind of abberance on your screen or anomaly in your thinking. I wandered quite a lot without specificity. I quite agree that Zeno's (alleged) paradox is no paradox at all. Zeno may himself have known that. As I see it, it's an object lesson in what happens when the factor of time is left out. Departures from A with arrivals at B do in fact happen all the time... As it were... When you exclude time, then the spatial distance keeps being cut in half, ad infinitum, and one never gets from Point A to Point B. Thank you for the heads up. - Best regards, RascalPuff
