Think of it this way - if we allow ourselves to infinitely divide space, eventually we are talking about distances much, much smaller than the Planck distance (QM concept in case you are not familiar). At those scales, we can't even pinpoint the position of an electron. How can you talk about the movement of an arrow over than distance? You do really think that the equations of motion are accurately describing the physically reality at that point?
- danbruc 4y agoYou are missing my point. If being unable to divide space and time over and over again is the true and only resolution to the paradox, then in a hypothetical world where you can divide space and time indefinitely, the paradox would not be resolved. So I ask, are you willing to argue that if our spacetime was Euclidean, then we could not move? I would find that claim absurd, after all classical mechanics describes motion in Euclidean space. Is classical mechanics nonsense because it describes motion in a space where motion is not possible?
