Īlthough it has infinitely many terms, this sum is a geometric series This provides a precise sense in which the following sum Mystery of Zeno’s walk is dissolved given the modern definition of a As Salmon (1998) has pointed out, much of the Modern mathematics provides ways of explaining how Achilles canĬomplete this supertask. Line (or never have started in the regressive version). Of steps cannot be completed, Achilles will never reach the finish That as a consequence, motion does not exist. Zeno, at least as portrayed in Aristotle’s Physics, argued Regressive version of the Zeno Dichotomy supertask. Getting ever-closer to the finish line (Figure 1.1.1). And he continues in this way ad infinitum, He then runs half the remaining distance again, or He then runs half of the remaining distance, or ¼ Starting line of a track and runs ½ of the distance to theįinish line. Supertasks often lack a final or initial step. 1.1 Missing final and initial steps: The Zeno walk Let us simply try to come to grips with some of the unusual mechanical Tasks, and which break down in the analysis of supertasks. Strange because our intuitions are based on experience with finite Alternatively, we might take them to seem One might take such unusual results as evidence against the Supertask was described in a 1924 lecture by David Hilbert, as
