(if your lost on this parodox read this and then comment)http://www.mathacademy.com/pr/prime/articles/zeno…

In learning about this paradox, I begin to wonder many things. It is clear in my head as well as in everybody else's that Achilles would win. This is not known because it is proven but instead by logic.

Why is it that zeno was able to take the situation and "prove" it mathematically, however it was still wrong?

What is the point of mathematics or science if they create paradoxes like this. In the real world the outcome of something is quite obvious, but a mathematical explanation does not prove it? Explain….

Someone should write a paradox article or at least be a logic challenge.

lol.. this shit will make u go crazy

think about counting the time between 2 seconds

one thousand one… thats it

but think about every infinately extending digit…

so technically it is impossible to get from one second to another, time therefore goes to shit :p
