Ad Hoc

This Wikipedia article on Zeno’s paradoxes is one of the most interesting things I have read in a long while. What I especially like about it, and derive great amusement from, is how calculus attempts to solve the paradox, but in the end only reaffirms it.

In short, trying to use calculus to resolve the paradox simply reaffirms the idea that space and time are infinitely divisible, and thus still suffers from the basic question as to how one can possibly reach the end of an endless series.
