In the Fletcher's Paradox, the Greek philosopher Zeno (who was the inspiration for the Socratic Method) stated that for motion to be occurring, an object must change the position which it occupies.

In keeping with the name of the paradox, let's use an arrow as the example. For motion to occur, the arrow must move to where it is not. Thus there are two states - where it is and where it is not. If we think of time as points (or instants) the arrow cannot move to where it is not and it cannot move to where it is because it is already there. Thus, motion cannot occur at any point (or instant) of time - everything should remain motionless. Solve that one - it's actually easy. It can if, for a instant, or point, it isn't an arrow. Eisboch But time marches on, doesn't it? |

If it didn't, then you wouldn't have round balls of stuff floating around space and each other. And it's been shown in numerous experiments that one particle can exist in two places at the same time. It's just a question of engineering. Think Eisboch and his ions. :) Albert, I am a little confused on this matter, does Gravity effect everything at the same instant no matter how far away it is. I mean does the gravity of the sun effect Venus and Pluto at the exact same instant. Yes. It has to - otherwise, everything would collide. |

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. |

Too easy. One light year. Assuming that the light does not get absorbed or refracted by anything along the way and that the earth is in the same position it was in when the light was shined and that Tom hasn't shot it down with his lightbeam destroying weaponry. Dammit - did you have to tell everybody? Jeese um pete. |
