{{comic | number = 4452 | date = April 11, 2017 | title = hitchhiking | image = 1491880245-20170411 (1).png | votey = 1491880264-20170411after.png | titletext = Each time I do a Zeno joke, it's half as funny as the time before. }} ==Explanation== {{incomplete}} :This comic references the paradoxes proposed by the Greek pholosopher Zeno of Elea, in which a moving object such as an arrow could never reach a target, as to do so it would first have to move half of the distance to the target before covering half of the remaining distance, then half of the distance remaining, and so on, always having more steps to take. The conclusion here is that movement is impossible as each step toward a goal would cover half the distance of the previous step, and take infinite time. What makes it a paradox is that it's obviously false and movement is possible.{{citation needed}} ==Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :Half the remaining distance to my destination :Caption: So far, the empirical approach to Zeno's Paradox has been inconclusive. ==Votey Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :Findings: Motion was probably more possible in the 60s. {{comic discussion}} [[Category:Single panel comics]][[Category:Comics tagged math]]
