/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm not really /sci/ and I'm not in university just yet, so I don't have more than high school education right now.
What the fuck is the deal with Zeno's paradox? Specifically Achilles and the tortoise.
How is it anything other than Zeno being a smartass? even if we don't know about the Planck length (which in itself shits on the idea of dividing distance into infinity) we clearly see the real world doesn't behave like that, and that made up bullshit "paradox" would be a non issue if you just use subtraction instead of division.
Am I missing some sort of bigger picture? failing to read between the lines? am I just being a dumbass?
