Zeno's Arrow?
In response to Sean aka Redroom Studios: *** This is one image! Not two images pasted together! (a longer reply can be seen below)....(^___^)V
*********************************************************************************************************
Yesterday I learned about "the most ridiculous philosophy". *__*
The Greek philosopher Zeno argues that an object cannot occupy two places at the same time. Therefore, at any particular moment during its flight the arrow is in only one place. But to be in one place is to be at rest. So, a flying arrow is actually always still.
This argument was not refuted until the 19th century, by application of the theory of assemblages and the theory of the functions of the real variable, which clarify the nature of space-time continua and of continuous functions.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your kind comments on my former images!
