Video - Zeno's Paradox: Is Motion Just an Illusion?

Imagine you're trying to walk from one side of a room to the other. First, you must cover half the distance, then half of what's left, and so on. This endless division of space is what Zeno of Elea presented as a paradox. If you must cross an infinite number of points, how can you ever reach the other side? Philosophers and mathematicians have wrestled with this for centuries. Aristotle argued that the sum of an infinite series can be finite, while modern calculus resolves it with limits, yet the philosophical implications remain. Does Zeno’s paradox challenge our understanding of motion and infinity? Or does it reveal the limitations of human perception? By questioning the very fabric of reality, Zeno pushes us to ponder whether our grasp of the universe is as solid as we perceive—or if it’s merely an illusion crafted by our minds.
