Zenon's arrow

Doesn't Zenon's arrow hit the target ?

No, it doesn't.

Because there are the premises that Zenon's arrow is proceeding with halveing between the target and the arrow, the arrow proceeds with halveing in the infinity.

Is the arrow stopping if it doesn't hit the target ?

No it isn't, because there are the premises that the arrow is proceeding with halveing between the target and the arrow.

If there are the premises that the arrow is stopping, it is stopping, and it is meaningless even if it halves between the target and the arrow in the infinity.

If there are the premises that the arrow is proceeding with double between the target and the arrow, the arrow goes through the target in a moment and just flies over there.

Actually, the flying arrow hits the target, and Achilles outstrips the tortoise.
