 I don't get why people think Zeno's paradox is interesting as it relies on the stupid notion that objects somehow move by halving the distance between one and the other rather than moving in discrete amounts of distance over time.

 It's interesting because it's not really a paradox.  Of course they knew that the runner will get to his destination in finite time.  The whole point was that it's absurd to claim otherwise.  The reason it gets repeated so often is that, any philosophical arguments aside, it's a good story to explain that an infinite sum has a finite solution.  Sigma(n=0->inf,1/(2^n))=2. 15:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC) {{unsigned ip|172.68.189.19}}

 To me this is a lesson in moderation, too much chocolate is not only a problem on x-mas, but also on Halloween. If we don't learn moderation, we will wake up on 25th with huge belly and type-1 diabetes.
