How to Solve Zeno's Paradoxes With Infinite Sums
Infinite sums are how you can mathematically resolve most of Zeno's paradoxes. Advances in physics, particularly quantum physics, have also provided answers to many of these paradoxes. In quantum physics, there are units known as plonk units. These are the smallest units that can be validly measured given the physical constants of the universe. And just as you can add up distances to get a finite amount, the same would work with time.
