Of the paradoxes Zeno may have presented, I'm alluding to the (perhaps most famous) one, where a person or object is moving from and keeps cutting the distance in half from Point A to Point B, but never arrives at Point B, because of Euclid's axiom that there's an infinite number of greometric (non space occupying) points in a straight line between A and B.
Since we know that a person or object can and does indeed successfully move from Point A to B, we likewise know that Zeno's paradox isn't really all that paradoxical.
It isn't realistic because it excludes the factor (dimension) of time.
Good to hear from you, Mr. Cool Bananas.
