A physical model of Zeno's dichotomy
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 52 (2):347-358 (2001)
Abstract
A model of Zeno's dichotomy paradox is presented in Newtonian collision mechanics. One of several resolutions of the paradox illustrates the point that even in Newtonian ontology there is a spacetime weave. In a Newtonian system in which the base rules permit only spatial contact interactions, we find the mechanical emergence of action-at-a-distance effects.Author's Profile
