How can you get from one place to another when you have to step over an infinity of points to get there?

Question

If I want to get from point A to point B, I have to first get to the halfway point between the two points. Then I have to get to the halfway point between that halfway point and point B. Then I have to get to the halfway point between that halfway point and point B...and since there will always be a point halfway between where I am and point B, how can I ever get there?

(Obviously I can, but how am I able to step over an infinity of points?)

Answer 1

You infinity of points is not infinitely within infinity. The points are only within the span of your stride. All the rest of the points of infinity are outside your stride.
So there is a limit to infinity except where you keep making the same point smaller and smaller to be able to count more points of infinitness. It is the still the same length as your stride.

Answer 2

Mathematics is unreal because it is based on premises that assume perfection... in the universe there is no perfection... for instance if two points exist in reality, the two would not be identical in all respects, but Maths assumes them to be identical in all respects. Maths begins with the concept of one plus one is two... but this assumes the two ones are the same... in this universe no two are exactly the same, not even any two leaves in the same branch. Maths is unreal.... and that is why it is so very useful to understand the reality by examining from sort of outside or from a distance!!

Answer 3

I would say...one point at a time. Unless, of course you discover a controllable method to bend time and space. As far as I am aware of or believe, only my higher power can accomplish that feat. One point at a time may not get you there faster but it will get you closer to destination B than the point behind you. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Zeno's real point is that "points are real" is not real.

He's asking the mathematician, "How can you be in two places at once, when you're really nowhere at all?"

"A Philosophy of Universality," O. M. Aivanhov and "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers," Paul Hoffman, might be interesting.

Answer 5

There actually appears to be indivisible units of space. It's quite small and called a Planck length. So there are not an infinite number of points to cross. just a lot

Answer 6

People are going nowhere rightnow. Greed is an endless cycle. People reinvent science like wheel then deny it has been here before. Kill,Genocide,Propaganda. To get anywhere you have to learn ,remember, Understand history. Greed will kill you if you letit rule you. Example Killer Scare Crows in a horror film left money for characters to pick up. They characters died trying to pick up all the money. Proves greed makes people foolish. Apply to planet large scale see result what it does.

Answer 7

There is so much happening in the mind of self; which needs to be overcome by the self; and which is possible only when the judgments of self by self are driven with the powers and abilities of the focus and faith of self upon the qualities and abilities of the aptitudes and actions of self ; instead of upon the actions and the activities of the mind of self only.

The focus and faith of self has to go beyond the mind and the actions and activities of the mind of self; for reaching the other place; and which it can do only if the self guides it with aptitudes and actions of self also; instead of merely with the mind and the actions and activities of the mind of self only.

Answer 8

because they're infinitely close together

the real question is why it took you so long to get here
