Zeno's paradoxes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search "Achilles and the Tortoise" redirects here. For other uses, see Achilles and the Tortoise (disambiguation) "Arrow paradox" redirects here. For other uses, see Arrow paradox (disambiguation) Zeno's paradoxes are a set of problems devised by Zeno of Elea to support Parmenides ' doctrine that "all is one" and that, contrary to the evidence of our senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion . It is usually assumed that Zeno took on the project of creating these paradoxes because other philosophers had created paradoxes against Parmenides' view. Thus Zeno can be interpreted as saying that to assume there is plurality is even more absurd than assuming there is only one. As such, if we are convinced by Zeno's paradoxes, we should take Parmenides' view more seriously. Several of Zeno's eight surviving paradoxes (preserved in Aristotle 's Physics and Simplicius 's commentary thereon) are essentially equivalent to one another; and most of them were regarded, even in ancient times, as very easy to refute. Three of the strongest and most famous—that of Achilles and the tortoise , the dichotomy argument, and that of an arrow in flight—are presented here, followed later by solutions that dismiss those paradoxes.

Zeno's Paradox(es) As everyone knows, it is impossible to ever get anywhere. If you are currently at point A and wish to move to a different point, B you must first traverse half the distance from A to B then half the remaining distance, then half the still remaining distance, ad infinitum. No matter what you do, you will always have half the remaining distance left, right? This version of Zeno's paradox has even made it to Hollywood, featured in the 1994 film, IQ, where Meg Ryan's character uses the paradox in an attempt to fend off the charismatic mechanic played by Tim Robbins. Of course you can debunk this one as easily as he did. Simply walk across the room and out the door. You know you get there. So what was wrong with Zeno? Another version of Zeno's paradox involves a race between Achilles and a Tortoise. Achilles can run 10 times as fast as the tortoise and therefore gives the tortoise a ten meter head start. However, if the tortoise has a ten meter head start how can Achilles ever catch him? By the time Achilles reaches the 10 meter mark, the tortoise will be at 11 meters. By the time Achilles gets there the tortoise will be at 11.1 meters and so on. This process of looking at where the tortoise will be when Achilles catches up to where he WAS can be repeated indefinitely creating an infinite sequence of snapshots all showing the tortoise still ahead. Therefore, Achilles, even though he runs ten times as fast as the tortoise, will never catch up. Next Page Outline Home K.M.Shannon

Another example: n f(n) I know the function rule is f(n) = n-3 But again - how do you figure out what the rule is? Thanks!! Aliceacc 03-31-2007, 06:38 PM What grade is this for? Let's assume it's 9th grade algebra, and that all the functions will be linear equations. If you can't look at the problem and determine the answer, treat it as a linear equation: a) Take 2 ordered pairs from the group you're given. b) Use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find the slope. c) Plug in either point as x and y, along with that slope, into the formula: y-y1=m(x-x1) d) solve for y. Using your first example, with the first 2 pairs of numbers: a) slope = (8-2)/(2-1) or 6/1=6 b) y-2=6(x-1); y-2=6x-6 c) y=6x-4 HMM 03-31-2007, 06:42 PM

Mathmatically, you can never close that distance to zero, so technically, you should never be able to reach it. The two things you said have nothing to do with eachother. Ones with infinite .9 and the other is about a porabola. Remind you that .9 infinite is way different than .9 x 10 to the -93825234432 power. Theres a mathmatical equation where you add a certian number to the .9infinite then divide it by a another number and it will equal 1. I forgot the equation, just google it.

Help Search Members Calendar Full Version: Does Christ have infinitesimally small dominion? Pages: aaronshaf Mar 31 2006, 12:06 AM Two thoughts. Any finite number over infinity is infinitesimally small. Christ, according to Mormonism, has a very large, but nonetheless finite dominion. In order for eternal progression to be, well, eternal, ultimate reality itself cannot be limited. It must be infinite in size or in amount of matter. Therefore, in the Mormon worldview, as I understand it, Christ hasproportionally speaking (relative to the infinite universe)an infinitesimally small dominion. Beowulf Mar 31 2006, 12:17 AM This is an absurd postulate. Infinities are NOT numbers, and cannot be manipulated that way. And ascribing infinities to God runs into the same difficulties. This is where the Greek and medieval philosophers got stuck, trying to imagine a perfectly powerful, all-knowing being. What they got was a construct, not a real God. Now you are trying to do the same thing with Jesus. If he is not all-infinite, then he must be infinitesimal. Fun and games. But it has nothing to do with religion, or with reality. Just to set you straight, LDS believe that Jesus is God, everlasting and forever. That He has all that the Father has, and is therefore equivalent in power and majesty.
