A Moment in Time.....
by SamLoser2 on September 09, 2011Seriously, how long is a moment? Or rather, what I'd like to know a bit more, how long is an instant? "The arrow in flght is motionless". That is a paradox based off the idea an instant is infinitly small. If you were to freeze time at any instant during the arrow's flight, it would have to be (in order to be moving) going to someplace else or coming to the position it is. I can't to the former because it is in the spot it is in now, and it can't do the latter because it is already there.So since this is true for every instant, the arrow in flight must be motionless.
.....that is true logic. When it all makes sense but just doesn't work anyway.
