What is a direct description of zeno's paradox? @abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I doubt it's related to biology.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, my AP biology teacher and the class were going over it and I wanted a better description than hat my teacher and the actual internet has to say about it @Abhisar so I was wondering if you could help me out on this one?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I am afraid because it's a philosophical theory and i have no idea about it ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well ok thanks anyway. :) @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

You're welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you think if I gave you a description of what I already know, you could expand on it?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I don't think so :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

But i would like to try.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what I know already is that basically wherever you are trying to go...you will never reach your destination because in that moment of time and place you will always only be halfway there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But can you try to explain the reasoning?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

give a minute or two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's making no sense to me so far ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol it is very hard to understand @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

@nincompoop

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you can't get any better description than what google results show.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok @nincompoop

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No you can't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have been searching for a better a better answer all day and it is frustrating and stressing me out

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

learn calculus and you will find a better answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg i hate math ...ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@POKERPRO23 see if you could answer this question based on your own knowledge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a very hard concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imma be honest ill have to look it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

honestly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go ahead

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is still a challenge when you look it up to still be able to explain the concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a set of philosophical problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I am saying to explain the reasoning...not what it is. As, @Abhisar stated it is a philosophical theory but can you explain the reasoning of it? @POKERPRO23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I am having a private tutoring session with my teacher today so that she may explain the theory in depth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kingalex123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I believe that since you are walking and mainly you will never reach because you will always only be halfway there how did he come up like that....thats like making a dot then saying that even when you are stepping on it , you have never reached it because you will always only be halfway there. Or when you go to bed, you have never really made it to your bed even when you are laying in it because you will always only be halfway there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gene

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SweetPeaGirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Keigh2015

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup ik for sure hell get this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need more fans lol @POKERPRO23

OpenStudy (keigh2015):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno's_paradoxes this is the best i can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rofl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

roflllll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But what i want is a direct thought from another person of the reasoning...I have read over 30 sites of zeno's paradox and found nothing that is of use to me

OpenStudy (keigh2015):

ok hold on

OpenStudy (keigh2015):

Zeno's paradox is the set of philosophical questions/problems thought to be set by the Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea. Hopefully this helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Zeno's paradoxes are a set of philosophical problems generally thought to have been devised by Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea (ca. 490–430 BC) to support Parmenides's doctrine that contrary to the evidence of one's senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion. It is usually assumed, based on Plato's Parmenides (128a–d), that Zeno took on the project of creating these paradoxes because other philosophers had created paradoxes against Parmenides's view. Thus Plato has Zeno say the purpose of the paradoxes "is to show that their hypothesis that existences are many, if properly followed up, leads to still more absurd results than the hypothesis that they are one." (Parmenides 128d). Plato has Socrates claim that Zeno and Parmenides were essentially arguing exactly the same point (Parmenides
