How is Zeno's Paradox resolved in physics? See a previous question about this. The basic idea is that the physical world is probably not infinitely divisible in time and space. Also ordinary quantum mechanics predicts that all particles have a built-in uncertainty in their position and velocity that makes their 'wave functions' be spread out in space and time, and not permanently defined at a specific point. I think that this goes a long way towards 'fuzzing out' Zeno's Paradox. Return to Ask the Astronomer

I am now at the half point between making a step and making a step. Before I can make the step I must go half way between the half way point and the finish. Before I can make the next step I must go half way between the 3/4 step and the finish. Therefore motion is impossible since we are infinitely approaching it but never making it.

As if to testify to the content-free nature of the electoral battle within Nationalism (it's not much better in Unionism), here are three distinct views on the speech Gerry Adams made at the beginning of the campaign, all published in the last few days. Bertie Ahern, who is unimpressed given the continuance of recruitment for the IRA . Gerry Adams, who believes internal discussions can't go on for too long . And Anthony McIntyre, who's lost count of the endless procession of historic moments in recent times at least. Altogether now Mick Fealty @ 21 April 2005 12:22 PM Comments (47) Dermot Ahern managed to combine all of those in one single soundbite - Quote of the week Posted by: peteb at April 21, 2005 12:53 PM I think its got boring, I agree the 'historic' word is devalued. Reading Godson's book I am reminded of how many IRA statements there have been, each one sold as a historic step but each so incremental that we always seem to be far from the end of the journey. Should Zeno's Paradox be renamed the Adams/O'Neill paradox?

Other Assignments Some notes on format: Please use only one side of the page. Approximately 1 inch margins with 12 point font is good. (I'm not going to measure, but I will have trouble reading a smaller font.) Make sure your name appears on each page. (I sometimes need to make multiple copies, and pages can become separated.) I prefer a "note" (footnote or endnote) citation style, but any style is acceptable as long as it is consistent throughout your paper and you give all the necessary information. First Assignment The first writing assignment in this course is a credit / no credit assignment, due on Friday, September 24. As there is no class on this day, the assignment is due in my office, 104 Choate House, by 4 PM. If you think you may want to submit later papers electronically, please submit this assignment both electronically and in hard copy. My computer is fairly old at this point, and can't always read others' files. It is not safe to submit an assignment in electronic format only until we've verified that it will work.

THE FILMS Zeno's Paradox Director, Photography, Editing: Robert Arnold Music: Ronnie Cramer Production: Robert Arnold USA According to Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher (490-425 BC): "There is no motion because that which is moved must arrive at the middle of its course before it arrives at the end." And so on, infinitely (second Zeno's paradox). There is a picture on a tree, seen from a certain distance. The picture on the tree depicts the scene described in the previous sentence. Without moving the camera during filming, first by dissolving between a series of zooms and then by morphing between stills, we appear to approach the tree until the picture fills the frame and we are back where we started. < back top Greek Version

G. 1940- "Defending Transitivity against Zenois Paradox" Blackwell Publishing Excerpt Recently, Larry Temkin and Stuart Rachels have offered a new argument against the transitivity of the relationship 'all things considered better than'. This argument, in its various guises, invokes our intuitions about our preferences over different bundles of pleasurable or painful experiences with different durations, which, it is argued, will typically be intransitive. This article defends against this argument the orthodox view that the relation 'all things considered better than' should be regarded as transitive by showing that Temkin and Rachels are mistaken in supposing that a preference relation satisfying their assumptions must be intransitive. It makes clear where the argument goes wrong by showing that it is a version of Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise. Their argument centers around two kinds of counterexamples to the transitivity of 'all things considered better than', one involving painful and the other involving pleasurable experiences of differing duration. Since Temkin and Rachels both offer an example of painful experiences, we begin by discussing this case in Section I. Section II explains why the argument fails. Section III explains why the case of pleasure is of the

109. SPACE.com -- Space Mailbag However I object to your claim that Zeno s paradox is a mystery that Lynds ideas Michael Kindell Your story relates that Zeno s paradox has befuddled http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/space_mailbag-2.html

advertisement Space Mailbag By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer posted: 30 June 2005 07:28 am Aug. 7 Peter Lynds' Time Theory: Controversy Grows Our Aug. 6 article about a radical new theory of time by the unknown theorist Peter Lynds generated several e-mails. Lynds has stirred fierce controversy in academia by suggesting that there is no such thing as an instant in time and that his ideas solve an old paradox invented by the ancient Greek Zeno. The paradox has several permutations, each essentially saying you can't reach a goal because you first must travel half the distance, then half that distance, and so on. True to form, the Space Mailbag now contains a mixed bag of responses that mirror the controversy. Some of the rebuttals rolling in are highly complex. Since even the smartest scientists admit to not fully understanding Lynds work, the Mailbag will try only to summarize a handful of the sentiments. First, some related news. Since the publication of our story, a Greek researcher named Efthimios Harokopos has written a letter to the editor of the journal that published Lynds' work. In that letter, Harokopos denounces Lynds' ideas as generating a new paradox instead of solving an old one. Harokopos calls himself an expert on Zeno's paradoxes, the conundrums that Lynds claims to explain away. You can read a press release from Harokopos

[ attachment ] I remind Steve that all experience with information systems verifies the Principle of Least Effort. People do what is easiest and most familiar, regardless of their best interests, the availability of almost equally easy alternatives, and the cogent arguments of friends, colleagues, and advisors. One of the reasons that libraries, for example, have traditionally been rather difficult for non-librarians to use effectively, is that the professional librarians tend to ignore this, and design systems based on satisfying expert needs only. To me it appears that large elements of

We released a version of the software for testers a few days ago and they're pounding on it. My manager is presently working on getting a shipping version ready and the few problems he's having are known quantities with known fixes. That's not to say that the work is complete, but at least now I know the lay of the land and I have a mental map in my head about where to look to fix problems as they pop up. To make a car-building analogy - around this time last week, we still hadn't decided what the metal our pistons would be, whereas at this time this week, the question to answer is which brand of spark plugs to use. From an internal mental perspective, now is a much better place to be than then. I'll write more about the experience later, but the good news is that I'm finally starting to decompress after the last few weeks. In the spirit of decompression, last night I took Willie and another friend out on a sailing cruise with the folks from
