The first-century thinker Zeno of Elea is famous for his paradoxes in the history of philosophy. He developed his paradoxes to prove that his teacher Parmenides is right about there is no act actually.

The main argument of the paradoxes is; “If something is moving, then it has to move in the place where it is, or it has to move where it is not” and so he develops an argument against the movement.

Accordingly, the second case is impossible. Because if something can not happen in a place where nothing happens and it is thought that it can not be moved, it has to be where it is. Therefore, things are motionless and motion is an illusion.

This argument against the movement is discussed in more detail with the paradoxes of "Dictotomy (The divide of two paradox)," "Drafted Arrow" and "Akhileus and Turtle".

Dictotomy (The Divide of Two Paradox)

Let's consider a runner who wants to go from the starting point to the finish line first. To reach the finish line, he must first run to the end of the road. This is not a problem. He can spend the half of Solin to reach the end of the road and use the remaining time to reach the finish line. However, in order to come to the end of the road, the road must first complete the first quarter. He can accomplish this by using half of his time, which he reserved for half of the road. However, before completing the first quarter of the race, the road must finish at eight, but in order to do so, the road must run at sixteen. This situation thus continues without reaching an end. The longer you go, the more distance * you need to complete. The runner can never finish the race because there is no final distance to be loaf.

This argument can be repeated for any distance. To overcome a certain distance, the runner must cross an endless distance first, a final distance. No distance can be taken because it can not do this either. Therefore, the runner does not move. Zenon is the result of this being impossible to move.

Throw Arrow Paradox

An arrow that seems to fly is actually motionless, because everything that occupies a void equal to itself must stay in this void. If we think that an arrow fills a gap that is equal to itself at every moment of flight, then it is unmoving in this case.

Turtle and Akhilleus

If the fast Akhileus allows the slow-moving turtle to start the race one step ahead, the turtle will never pass. You ask why? Because in this case, Akhileus, the turtle will have gone a step further each time the tortoise has started to race. When Akhileus takes this distance, the turtle will go one step further, and so it goes on forever.
According to Zeno, in these inferences that we should not accept, the runner will never finish the race, the arrow will not move and Akhileus will never reach the turtle. Actually, there is no such thing as motion. Although it seems true that everything seems to be moving, according to Zenon, it is only by mistake.

Most philosophers have either claimed that Zeno's mind is wrong, or that all of its predecessors are not correct, or both. What Zeno did wrong with the arguments continues to be a topic of debate.

If we made soup from your brain, enjoy with it my dear friends.
