hi folks
maybe somebody can help out concerning this topic...
i once heard of an arrow paradoxon, even though I'm not sure whether it really is one.
it is about movement, just check out the scenario:
when you shoot an arrow towards an aim you can physically describe its movement from the bow to the aim. when you break up the movement into infinite steps of movement ( like frames of a video stream ) you have x->infinite positions of the arrow, but in each and every 'picture', seen independantly from each other, the arrow does not move. one could say the movement of the arrow is the sum of no-movement.
this is how it was described but i don't know how to handle it...
now does the arrow move or not? many spiritual people say that time, movement, or the solid appearence of matter is illusion and itz only interpreted by the brain in such a logical construct that it only appears in such a way we perceive it. point of relativity: the arrow only seems to move when i observe it, related to the arrow, not moving myself. when i move with the same speed and same direction the arrow stands still.
what is in your opinion movement? in fact, one has to say that everything is in constant movement ( quantum physics ) but what about movement which is directly perceived by living organisms? what is the truth now, in a philosophical point of view? the direct perception or that what lies beyond that?
when there is no absolute time and no absolute relation point for movement, does it exist anyhow? or only in a way one is creating it for oneself ( indepentant interpretation of reality of different mind)
please give me your thoughts about that... whether brainstorming or facts, I am open for athing ;)
