Also - turtles have flippers, and tortoises have toed feet :wink: Thanks for your explanation of solving (one of) Zeno's Paradox(es), HallsofIvy ... I recently had one of my favourite Physics professors explain this to me personally, very similarly to your explanation ... the only problem...

Thanks for your replies, again ... everyone has given me plenty of names and theories for further research into my areas of interest ... so thank you :smile: Ian, I could be wrong, but I feel there IS a difference (though as Carl Sagan said, it's best to avoid thinking with one's...
