The significance of dichotomy paradox

The Paradox of Dichotomy In the 5th century BC, Zhi Nuo lived in the ancient Greek city-state of Ilya. It is said that he is a self-taught rural child and a friend of mathematician Parmenitz. When he visited Athens with his protector, he invented four simple paradoxes, which shocked some complacent philosophers. Zhi Nuo is also famous for his paradox, so he enjoys an immortal reputation in the fields of mathematics and philosophy. Because Zhi Nuo's works have not been handed down, we can only understand his gist by criticizing his Aristotle's interpretation in physics. One of the four paradoxes of Zeno's paradox is the dichotomy paradox. "Before you can cross a distance, you must cross half." It means that an object must first pass through the midpoint of its journey when it moves to a destination. However, to pass this point, you must first pass a quarter of the distance; If you want to pass a quarter, you must first pass an eighth, and so on, and so on. The conclusion drawn from this is that exercise is an endless process, and exercise can never have a beginning. /Wiki/%E4% B8% A4% E5% 88% 86% E6% B3% 95% E6% 82% 96% E8% AE% BA
