I was reading about zeno's paradox (arrow), Is it like Quantized Spacetime? that we just move from one 'NOW' to the next?
Does zeno paradox can be fully solved?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Zeno's paradox was fully resolved in the nineteenth century by some great mathematicians such as Weierstrass. Its got nothing to do with quantised space-time. Its got to do with the so called least upper bound axiom eg:

Its the foundation of the area of math called analysis

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
