"Zeno’s Paradox deals with the ultra-small structure of space and time. In its essence, the paradox notes that if a moving body is in a specific place at every instant, then there is no instant when it is in transition from one place to another; and therefore motion is impossible. Since this contradicts everyday experience, it is called a paradox."

This is an interesting paradox for a number of reasons. Can we indeed have an 'instant in time'? Can time be disected into packets? Is time even linear? We make many lofty assumptions about Time but it is an artificial construct that we don't actually understand.

Thanks for your blog series! Huygens observed reflection and created a model to predict refections. His model stands up to testing.

It seems to me Flandern starts with a model and ends with a model. What testable predictions do Flandern's models make?
