X isn’t coming back out of the limit
Chapter 8
It’s nice to be able to prove all these mathematically,
2iSo we don’t have to debate a lot of ambiguities,
3Isn’t it?
4And happily, the jsolution to this problem is also easy to express in simple mathematical terms,
5Thanks to a guy named Zeno,
6kWho had an arrow.
7The thing about Zeno’s arrow was that you could fire it at a wall,
8And it would never get there,
9Because it had to travel half the distance to the wall first,
10And then half the distance remaining,
11And then half of that distance,
12And to make a long lstory short, it was so busy counting smaller and smaller halves that it never hit the wall.
13And that’s the way for people like you to live now that you’re in the limit,
14Going to zero,
15mJust like Zeno’s arrow.
