    This document is a student's work on Zeno's arrow paradox, which argues that motion is impossible by claiming that an arrow must pass through an infinite number of points in space and time to reach its target. The student explains the paradox by breaking down the arrow's flight into discrete time intervals and distances traveled in each interval. They then show mathematically how as the intervals approach zero, the sum of the distances converges, demonstrating that the arrow can cross the distance despite the infinite points along the way.
