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.

He was formally known as Zeno of Elea, but he was the only Zeno living from 490 to 430 B.C., so everyone just called him Zeno. Except his niece, Helen of Troy . She just called him "Elle". Zeno's Paradox ... Zeno was born on August 47, 490 B.C. to proud parents Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene . This is perhaps the single most controversial subject relating to the birth of Zeno as he was born before either of his parents. However, with the discovery of Einstein's theory of relativity in , we now realize that time is completely irrelevant. Zeno's father, Jesus Christ

   Extractions: 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
