zeno lived before calculus, so the concept of instantanous velocity didn't exist yet.

zeno lived before calculus, so the concept of instantanous velocity didn't exist yet. Yes, but Lev gets negative cookie points for trying to argue the paradoxes in Zeno's favor to people who went through high school. Until someone finds a squirrel with a flute, Eddie Izzard and science will be the weights and measures that decide my conundrums. >>> Infintesimals be damned, it's not rocket science to see that Zeno's idea will not serve in this time and this reality. When someone disproves it, or proves something else, maybe we'll reevaluate old ideas.

And you all get negative cookie points for not knowing about infintesimals (the mathematic way to disprove zeno) so nyah

I'd say those are bonus cookie points for disproving him without resorting to infintesimals or whatever.
