A Conversation for Zeno's Paradox

Umm... infinity?

In any line segment there are an infinite number of points.

So....who cares about time? You cover the infinite number of half-points in any distance moved.

Zeno's problem was setting up the POINT LOCATIONS as GOALS TO REACH, which was certainly idiotic; you can travel TO a point as well as you can travel PAST a point.

P.S.: for goodness sakes, pick up Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstader.
