Zeno's paradoxes are a series of philosophical arguments presented by the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea (c. 490-430 BC), primarily known through the works of Plato, Aristotle, and later commentators like Simplicius of Cilicia. Zeno devised these paradoxes to support his teacher Parmenides's philosophy of monism, which posits that despite our sensory experiences, reality is singular

Zeno of Elea, 5th c. B.C.E. thinker, is known exclusively for propounding a number of ingenious paradoxes. ... They had an immediate impact on Greek physical theory. Zeno's powerful principle that any spatially extended entity must be limitlessly divisible would profoundly impact the development of the subtle and powerful physical theories of

paradoxes of Zeno, statements made by the Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea, a 5th-century-bce disciple of Parmenides, a fellow Eleatic, designed to show that any assertion opposite to the monistic teaching of Parmenides leads to contradiction and absurdity.Parmenides had argued from reason alone that the assertion that only Being is leads to the conclusions that Being (or all that there is) is

The paradoxes of the philosopher Zeno, born approximately 490 BC in southern Italy, have puzzled mathematicians, scientists and philosophers for millennia. ... This seeming contradiction in the nature of reality is echoed by concepts from an area developed over 2000 years after Zeno lived, the Theory of Relativity. For example, light is now

Zeno's paradoxes are ancient paradoxes in mathematics and physics. Using seemingly analytical arguments, Zeno's paradoxes aim to argue against common-sense conclusions such as "More than one thing exists" or "Motion is possible." Many of these paradoxes involve the infinite and utilize proof by contradiction to dispute, or contradict, these common-sense conclusions.

Zeno's paradoxes can be boiled down to three: the paradox of infinity, the paradox of nullity and the paradox of stasis. Zeno's story about a race between Achilles and a tortoise nicely illustrates the paradox of infinity. Achilles starts at point A while the tortoise starts ahead, at point B. By the time Achilles gets to B the tortoise has

Zeno's Paradox is a paradox of mathematics when applied to the real world that has baffled many people over the years. In about 400 BC, a Greek mathematician named Democritus began toying with the idea of infinitesimals, or using infinitely small slices of time or distance to solve mathematical problems. The concept of infinitesimals was the

The arguments by which Zeno upheld his master's theory of the unique real Being were aimed at discrediting the opposite beliefs in plurality and motion (see paradoxes of Zeno). There are several arguments against plurality. First, if things are really many, everything must be infinitely small and infinitely great—infinitely small because

Zeno's paradoxes are a set of four paradoxes dealing with counterintuitive aspects of continuous space and time. 1. Dichotomy paradox: Before an object can travel a given distance d, it must travel a distance d/2. In order to travel d/2, it must travel d/4, etc. Since this sequence goes on forever, it therefore appears that the distance d cannot be traveled.

As a result of Turing's suggestion, the quantum Zeno effect is also sometimes known as the Turing paradox.The idea is implicit in the early work of John von Neumann on the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, and in particular the rule sometimes called the reduction postulate. It was later shown that the quantum Zeno effect of a single system is equivalent to the indetermination of

The underlying idea behind Zeno's theory is that all units have a magnitude. Therefore, subtracting from something does not diminish it. It is also possible to divide an object by two, but this decreases its magnitude. The same holds true for time. For example, if we want to divide a mountain by two, we must cover half of the mountain, but

We seek a quantum‐theoretic expression for the probability that an unstable particle prepared initially in a well defined state ρ will be found to decay sometime during a given interval. It is argued that probabilities like this which pertain to continuous monitoring possess operational meaning.

Therefore, Zeno behavior is a non-negligible problem in event-triggered mechanism and must be avoided. Inspired by the discussion of Zeno behavior in [ 41 ], the following theorem is given to prove that there is a positive lower bound between any two consecutive firing instants in the communication time, thereby ensuring that Zeno behavior does
