Full Idea
If place is an existing thing, then it will exist somewhere. For Zeno's puzzle needs explaining: if every existing thing is in place, an infinite regress occurs, because there will clearly have to be a place for place.
Gist of Idea
If everything has a place, this causes an infinite regress, because each place must have place
