What you described is a infinite number of FIXED length discrete steps, and if that is what motion is motion would indeed be impossible, but its not the infinity that makes it impossible its the fixed length. > > *So, since motion surely seems demonstrable, why can't the task be done > as I described? Answer; because space isn't infinitely divisible.* That is one possible answer, the other is that the infinite number of tasks are NOT of fixed length but decrease in a geometric progression that converges. As I said , Zeno is of no help in deciding which of these 2 answers is correct. John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
