AWKWARD ZOMBIE

It was Zeno, but yeah. It's to be taken for what it is, another step in the advancement of Greek philosophy.

Well, yeah. It should be. Infinity goes on forever, and I dunno about you but I've never reached forever.

But it doesn't work like that.

which is why it's a paradox

I momentarily forgot, and maybe other people did too so that's why I'm making this post, that a paradox is something that is contradictory at first glance. An oxymoron is something that's fundamentally contradictory.

I know it's a paradox, it's just not that complex or mind-blowing or whatever. To put it in perspective, I thought of something like this when I was ten.

Right, I agree, but it still might be usefull/noteworthy to other people less familiar with the concept of infinitesimality or whatever.

That's the difference between science and philosophy though. While the philosophy majors are theorizing what's possible and what's not, the science majors are proving such through experimentation.

It's impossible to traverse a distance due to "infinitesimally smaller lengths" in the journey? Well why don't we just roll this ball and see i-NOPE it works.

"But it's impossible!"

Really? Let me just try it ag-NOPE it still works...

The only useful and correct application of Zeno's paradox was when Ant-Man used it to stalemate a baseball game with Galactus, but that was in a modified universe where the laws of physics were pliable

You can stop talking about it now

Just got back to reading Tower of God.
I started a while ago, but didn't get very far. Like "Didn't read any 2nd floor chapters," not far.
Three people just died in rapid succession. MAN THIS IS COOL. Why did I stop reading this?

geez could you guys miss the point of zeno's paradox any harder

It's basically used to point out the massive disrepencey between theoretical mathematics and real-life.

The paradox comes from the fact that the math doesn't work, but from a -purely math- standpoint it should. It basically raises the question of when infinitely small becomes zero, and points out what could be a major flaw with our method of measuring. It is not bodaciously trying to say that you cannot travel a distance at all.

THANK you, Zink

Right, but could anyone tell me what's wrong with my previous theory of int(1/v*dx) [with int being the integral]? Because i feel that might be too easy to be true.
