You can see that we can keep going like this forever,dividing whatever distance is left into smaller and smaller pieces,each of which takes some finite time to traverse.So, how long does it take Zeno to get to the park?Well, to find out, you need to add the times of each of the pieces of the journey.The problem is, there are infinitely many of these finite-sized pieces.So, shouldn't the total time be infinity?This argument, by the way, is completely general.It says that traveling from any location to any other location should take an infinite amount of time.
