20457 | Zeno assumes collecting an infinity of things makes an infinite thing [Rovelli] |
Full Idea: One possible answer is that Zeno is wrong because it is not true that by accumulating an infinite number of things one ends up with an infinite thing. | |
From: Carlo Rovelli (Reality is Not What it Seems [2014], 01) | |
A reaction: I do love it when deep and complex ideas are expressed with perfect simplicity. As long as the simple version is correct. |
