Both motion and rest, then, must necessarily occupy time.                                                                                                                 Aristotle, 350 BC The Eleatic school of philosophers was founded by the religious thinker and poet Xenophanes (born c. 570 BC), whose main teaching was that the universe is singular, eternal, and unchanging. "The all is one." According to this view, as developed by later members of the Eleatic school, the appearances of multiplicity, change, and motion are mere illusions. Interestingly, the colony of Elea was founded by a group of Ionian Greeks who, in 545 BC, had been besieged in their seaport city of Phocaea by an invading Persian army, and were ultimately forced to evacuate by sea. They sailed to the island of Corsica , and occupied it after a terrible sea battle with the navies of Carthage and the Etruscans. Just ten years later, in 535 BC, the Carthagians and Etruscans regained the island, driving the Phocaean refugees once again into the sea. This time they landed on the southwestern coast of

    Extractions: Zeno's Paradox: In order for a person to cross a room, that person must first cross the halfway point of the room. In order to reach the halfway point, the person must first reach the midpoint between the origin of the walk and the halfway point. And to reach halfway to the halfway point, the person must cross the halfway to the halfway to the halfway point. Zeno argued that the process could be continued forever. In order to reach the other side of the room, an infinite number of points must be crossed. And logic tells us that an infinite number of points cannot be crossed in a finite period of time. Therefore, it is impossible to cross a room. This has been a long night. An endless, stretching desert of night. No amount of meditation, no measure of earthly inner peace is going to make it any less tense, any less riddled with anxiety than it is at this point. 4:13 a.m. on a Thursday. My sheets are knotted from twisting and tossing, and my pillow has been flipped no less than fifty times. There isn't a single cool patch left on the damn thing, and a new pillowcase didn't help a bit.

Walking over, he notices that the person is painting, no doubt a landscape scene. "Hi, there." The painter turns around, brush in one hand, palette in the other. "Oh, hi." He is not too enthusiastic, but a little disconcerted about the interruption. "I'm John Ocean. And I seem to be lost. Can you tell me what place this is?" "I've heard of you. You're a reality inspector, aren't you?" "Yes." John feels flustered and confused, not so much by the response of the painter but by the overall strangeness of the situation. "I'm Achilles." "The Achilles?" "How many are there?" "The Greek who fought in the Trojan war?"

No. 5 Zeno's Paradox Francis Moorcroft The four Paradoxes of Zeno, which attempt to show that motion is impossible, are most conveniently treated as two pairs of paradoxes. The reasons for this will hopefully become clearer later. The first two paradoxes are as follows. The Racecourse or Stadium argues that an athlete in a race will never be able to start. The reason for this is that before the runner can complete the whole course they have to complete half the course; and before they can complete half the course they have to complete a quarter; and before they can complete a quarter they have to complete an eighth; and so on. Therefore the runner has to complete an infinite amount of events in a finite amount of time - assuming that the race is to be run in a finite amount of time. As it is impossible to do an infinite amount of things in a finite amount of time, the race can never be started and so motion is impossible! The second paradox is that of Achilles and the Tortoise, where in a race, Achilles gives the Tortoise a head start. The argument attempts to show that even though Achilles runs faster than the Tortoise, he will never catch her. The argument is as follows: when Achilles reaches the point at which the Tortoise started, the Tortoise is no longer there, having advanced some distance; when Achilles arrives at the point where the Tortoise was when Achilles arrived at the point where the Tortoise started, the Tortoise is no longer there, having advanced some distance; and so on. Hence Achilles can never catch the Tortoise, no matter how much faster he may run!

    Extractions: Near Matches Ignore Exact idea by Sat Nov 13 1999 at 9:49:36 Zeno of Elea is responsible for a number of Paradoxes, however his most famous one is probably Achilles and the Tortoise (Two characters which feature prominantly in GEB , BTW) which deals with the impossibility of motion and/or change. This leads me to believe that motion is an illusion and reality is false. See: There is no spoon I like it! idea by Fri Dec 24 1999 at 22:09:11 The best known of Zeno's paradoxes is Achilles and the tortoise. It goes thusly. A turtle starts walking . After giving it a bit of a head start, Achilles shoots an arrow after it. The turtle moves an foot. The arrow moves twenty feet. The arrow will be impaling the turtle shortly... Or will it? The arrow flies the last twenty inches towards its target, but while it is traversing those twenty inches, the tortoise moves one inch. As the arrow is barreling its way through the last few millimeters, the turtle is lumbering along. The arrow goes one mm, the turtle goes one twentieth of a mm. Yes, the arrow is getting closer, but as long as the turtle keeps moving, the arrow will still have (in this poorly estimated example) one twentieth of that distance to go, and in the time that it takes the arrow to cross that distance, the turtle will have moved just a little farther on. The arrow can never quite catch up.

    Extractions: Atomism was devised by Leucippus and his student Democritus. Democritus was born about 460 B.C., which makes him about 40 years younger than Anaxagoras, and about 10 years younger than Socrates. Atomism is the final, and most successful, attempt to rescue the reality of the physical world from the fatal effects of Eleatic logic by means of a pluralistic theory. (Guthrie, vol. 2, p. 389) Overview of atomism: Imagine each atom, taken by itself, as a Parmenidean unit . Each is indivisible . There is no differentiation between one part of an atom and another part. There is no empty space within an atom plenum Thus, the atomists tried to agree with Parmenides about everything except the number of real beings. Comparison with Anaxagoras and Empedocles: theirs was a qualitative pluralism. The atomists offered a quantitative pluralism. Properties of atoms: each atom is uniform, homogeneous, colorless, tasteless, and indivisible. (We will inquire in a moment into precisely the sense in which atoms are indivisible.) Atoms have size shape , and (perhaps) weight . And they can move . That is, atoms have (what have come to be called)

    Extractions: Free Hosting Drug Rehab Free Web Hosting Best Credit Cards Zeno's Racecourse Paradox involves the story of a race between Achilles and a tortoise. In this race, Achilles, being much faster, gives the tortoise a head start. Zeno's assertion is that Achilles can never overtake the tortoise, since when Achilles reaches the point where the tortoise started, the tortoise has moved ahead somewhat, say to point A. When Achilles reaches point A, the tortoise has moved ahead to point B. When Achilles reaches point B, the tortoise has moved further. Therefore, the tortoise must always hold a lead. This is quite similar to Zeno's bisection paradox, which is examined in detail below . This conclusion is very counter-intuitive. For example, everyone can remember overtaking someone while walking, driving or biking. If Zeno's assertions were true, motion would be impossible. A runner can never reach the end of a racecourse in a finite time.
