bigthink.com/starts-with-... Zeno’s Paradox resolved by physics, not by math alone
Travel half the distance to your destination, and there’s always another half to go. So how do you eventually arrive? That’s Zeno’s Paradox. #ZenosParadox #math #maths #physics

Earlier today I was cleaning my cat’s litter boxes, and as I was sweeping I realized that little line of dirt that never completely goes into the dustpan is another example of #ZenosParadox that @kairyssdal.bsky.social talked about on Wednesday’s ‘Make Me Smart’ episode.
When I was a child I discovered Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox for myself. Now I'm wondering if, like endpoints of physical distance, *endings* of any kind are apparently never reached, because every time-ending can be halved as well.

Zeno's Offsides: Washington takes four offsides penalties from the one yard line, trying unsuccessfully to jump the snap count. Each one backs the ball half way to the goal line. Referee gives warning that he can award a score if this continues (!) #NFL #ZenosParadox
Do you want to know something mind blowing?
No matter how close or far two objects are in relation to each other, if you keep dividing the space between them in half, they'll never touch.
