Basic calculus does not solve Zeno's paradox, and the fact you think so proves you're a pleb.

Yes, limits can be defined and calculated. Calculus teachers like to make a big deal about how this supposedly solves Zeno's paradox. It doesn't. It's a common fallacy where people confuse two things: (i) naming and formalizing a phenomenon, and (ii) understanding that phenomenon. In exactly the same way, people think they understand gravity because they give it a name and formalize it with Newton's laws. But no-one genuinely understands gravity (hence why physicists still can't unify gravity and quantum mechanics in a single theory)
