A Conversation for Zeno's Paradox

What you have described is actually a very useful mathematical tool that allows changes to be studied at infinitely small intervals of time or whatever variable applies. This is the basis of the differential or derivitive or the rate of instantenous change. Calculus does not make change impossible by reducing the interval to an infinitely small amount, it simply allows the process to be stopped briefly for a snapshot and a look at the trend.
