  1. I always knew the zeno paradox as the racetrack paradox. since you must first cover half of any distance before you complete it and since any distance can be halved its impossible to complete any distance. but this paradox can be resolved without calculous using only logic. eventually, any distance will become small enough to complete without halving it first. it may take 10 steps to halve a distance but eventually the distance can be completed with a single step. in other words; just because a distance CAN be halved doesn't mean it MUST be halved. thanks for another thought provoking video.

  4. I first heard of the zeno paradox as the racetrack paradox. its impossible to reach the end of the racetrack because the distance must be halved before completion. and sense any distance can be halved, regardless of its size, the track can never be completed. the paradox can be proved false through logic WITHOUT calculous. its simple. eventually, the distance needed for completion gets small enough where it doesn't need to halved in order to complete it. for instance; 10 steps needed, 5 steps needed, 2 and a half steps needed - eventually the distance gets to where it can be overcome with a single step. in other words; just because a distance CAN be cut in half doesn't mean it MUST be cut it in half. it doesn't have to be halved at all. see how simple that was? thanks for another thought provoking video.
