The Relativity of Motion: A Reinterpretation of Zeno's Paradoxes in Light of Modern Science

Abstract

Zeno's paradoxes, particularly those addressing the divisibility of space and time, challenge classical concepts of motion and continuity. This paper revisits Zeno's paradoxes through the lenses of relativity, virtual units, and quantum mechanics, offering a modern reinterpretation that bridges ancient philosophy with contemporary science. By redefining motion as a sequence of discrete events and integrating the concept of relative measurement, this study resolves Zeno's philosophical dilemmas while addressing their implications for physics. The findings underscore the necessity of rethinking continuity in favor of discreteness, aligning the ancient paradoxes with the quantum nature of reality.
