The physical processes which initiate and maintain motion have been
a major concern of serious investigation throughout the evolution
of scientific thought. As early as the fifth century B. C.
questions regarding motion were presented as touchstones for the
most fundamental concepts about existence. Such wide ranging
philosophical issues are beyond the scope of this book, however,
consider the paradox of the flying arrow attri buted to Zeno of
Elea: An arrow is shot from point A to point B requiring a sequence
of time instants to traverse the distance. Now, for any time
instant, T, of the sequence the arrow is at a position, Pi' and at
Ti+! the i arrow is at Pi+i> with Pi ::I-P+* Clearly, each Ti
must be a singular time i 1 unit at which the arrow is at rest at
Pi because if the arrow were moving during Ti there would be a
further sequence, Til' of time instants required for the arrow to
traverse the smaller distance. Now, regardless of the level to
which this recursive argument is applied, one is left with the
flight of the arrow comprising a sequence of positions at which the
arrow is at rest. The original intent of presenting this paradox
has been interpreted to be as an argument against the possibility
of individuated objects moving in space.
