Extractions: Zeno just loved his new car. Driving at 60 mph, or a mile a minute, he turned the wheel left so that he was driving on a circle of radius a mile. He made a trip starting out heading due south originally, until swinging out he was heading due east. At this point he had moved eastward one mile, and also due south one mile from his starting point. Travelling around a quarter circle of radius one mile this little trip took pi/2 minutes, around 94.25 seconds.

Although none of his work survives today, over 40 paradoxes are attributed to him which appeared in a book he wrote as a defense of the philosophies of his teacher Parmenides. Parmenides believed in monism , that reality was a single, constant, unchanging thing that he called 'Being' . In defending this radical belief, Zeno fashioned 40 arguments to show that change (motion) and plurality are impossible. The most famous of Zeno's arguments is the Achilles 'The slower when running will never be overtaken by the quicker; for that which is pursuing must first reach the point from which that which is fleeing started, so that the slower must necessarily always be some distance ahead.'

http://puttingzone.com/MyTips/ladder.html

Extractions: The Artist ZipTip: Touch: Zeno's Lag Ladder Long putts that cause concern about coming up too short often cause the golfer to blow the ball too far past the hole, and a useful approach is to take a practice stroke to a target merely halfway to the hole, then take another practice stroke to a second target halfway between the first target and the hole, and then make the real stroke not shorter than the second practice stroke and with the same size increase in the stroke one big step halfway there, then two halfsize steps the rest of the way. Dr Dialtone The Problem : Monster putts have you three-jacking? When facing a long putt that seems outside the comfort level for distance control, the typical golfer reaction is to dwell on the negative of leaving the putt too short for a two-putt. This anxiety causes the golfer then to "gas" the putt by adding force that he would not ordinarily add, in an effort to make sure the force of the putt is sufficient to overcome the anticipated shortfall. These "gassed" putts are the most common cause of three-putting. The ball almost always blows past the hole too far, and the golfer watches helplessly as the putt just won't stop rolling on the far side of the hole.

Extractions: Top Of HyperLex A source of immense power, possessed by the Sumatran RAT s in an adventure of HEMLOCK STONES A paradox devised by the Greek philosopher Zeno, which seems to prove that motion as such is impossible; Reason: Consider an arrow flying towards a target. Before it gets to the target it must first get halfway there, but before it gets to that point it must first get 1/4 the way there, but before that (etc..) Since an infinite number of things must be done first, the arrow could never get *anywhere*; ergo, motion is impossible. This paradox is referred to indirectly in the TWO PLACES album, where BABE falls asleep in his car, while the talking freeway signs read off: "Antelope Freeway, one mile" "Antelope Freeway, one half mile" "Antelope Freeway, one quarter mile" "Antelope Freeway, one eighth mile" "Antelope Freeway, one sixteenth mile" "Antelope Freeway, one thirtysecondth mile" "Antelope Freeway, one sixty-fourth mile" "Antelope Freeway, one one-hundred-and-twenty-eighth mile" ...

Extractions: 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 . In order to travel , it must travel , etc. Since this sequence goes on forever, it therefore appears that the distance d cannot be traveled. The resolution of the paradox awaited calculus and the proof that infinite geometric series such as can converge, so that the infinite number of "half-steps" needed is balanced by the increasingly short amount of time needed to traverse the distances. 2. Achilles and the tortoise paradox: A fleet-of-foot Achilles is unable to catch a plodding tortoise which has been given a head start, since during the time it takes Achilles to catch up to a given position, the tortoise has moved forward some distance. But this is obviously fallacious since Achilles will clearly pass the tortoise! The resolution is similar to that of the dichotomy paradox. 3. Arrow paradox: An arrow in flight has an instantaneous position at a given instant of time. At that instant, however, it is indistinguishable from a motionless arrow in the same position, so how is the motion of the arrow perceived?

http://www.newmeyer.com/essays/zeno_at_intersection.html

Extractions: hen two drivers arrive simultaneously at an intersection, they often glance at one another for cues as to who should go first. Sometimes cues are misread and each proceeds simultaneously, upon which they look more closely for clearer cues. I propose a method whereby their standoff can be prolonged indefinitely, in the manner of "Zeno's Paradox". Zeno's Paradox is that a traveler can never get to his goal: once he is halfway there, he must go half the remaining distance; after which he must go half the remaining distance, and so on ad infinitum. The "Zeno at the Intersection" method requires a beat-up old car and an "Actor" who appears to be in control of it. The car has one special feature, "Feedback Autopilot". Feedback Autopilot is initiated by targeting a nearby car with a laser beam. The direction and speed of the targeted car then determines, with nearly instanteous response, the direction and speed of the vehicle controlled by the Autopilot. Now picture an intersection with four-way stop signs. The Actor, heading north, arrives at the same moment as the Subject, heading east. At the moment the Actor locks the laser on to the Subject's car and initiates Autopilot. Feedback Autopilot thereafter runs the Actor's car as follows: any eastward movement of the Subject's car is exactly matched by northward movement of the Actor's car; likewise, each northward movement of the Subject's car is matched by eastward movement of the Actor's car. A minute's reflection will reveal that the movements of the Actor's car precisely mirror those of the Subject's car such that neither car can get beyond a diagonal line running between the southwest and northeast corners of the intersection. Thus, the Subject cannot continue east through the intersection: each time he moves forward a bit, the other car does the same, its driver giggling with embarassment at his apparent "stupidity".
