This is a classic philosopher vs. pragmatic discussion.
Zeno: "How can movement exist? A flying arrow, at any point in its trajectory, is static, but at the next moment, it-"
Pragmatic: "Hey, I shot ten arrows. They took 4 seconds average to reach the target at 200 m, so they move at 50 m/s, therefore movement does exist. Can we eat something? I'm hungry."
