Refute him

>If you have to go through the stadium you have to go through 1/2 of it and 1/4 of it and 1/8 of it ad infinitum so you go through a finite stadium by summing movements of infinite cardinality

Doesn't this imply that atoms don't exist? Isn't reality discrete at some point?

You can't

>>13446140
Atoms are not elementary and there is no reason to think one way or the other about the question of whether reality is continuous or discrete.

Can you explain? If reality is discrete then you are not going through an infinite amount of motions to cover a finite distance, as Parmenides asserts. What am I misunderstanding.

>> No.13447016

refuting someone is to say they are wrong, which is to say they lack something, which is to assert that there can be a negative being, which is impossible.
can't be done
