zeno's paradox : suppose that a man wants to cross to the far wall of a room that is 20ft across. First, he crosses half the distance to reach the 10ft mark. next, he crosses halfway across the remaining 10ft to arrive at the 5ft mark. dividing the distance in half again, he crosses to the 2.5ft mark, and continues to cross the room in this way, dividing each distance in half and crossing to that point. because each of the increasingly smaller distances can be divided in half, he must reach an infinite number of "midpoints" in a finite amount of time, and will never reach the wall. explain the error in zeno's paradox.
Guys I haven't a clue to how to even start it. I do understand that you can dividing a number and it gradually gets smaller. Very close to 0, but does it ever reach zero? Please braintrust need some help here on some late night hwk.
