Arrow Paradox

Arrow’s Paradox highlights a contradiction in motion: at any given moment, an arrow in flight appears motionless, occupying a specific position. If at every instant it is at rest, how does it move? The paradox questions how continuous motion can exist if, at each instant, the arrow seems fixed. It challenges our understanding of time and change, raising philosophical questions about how objects move and whether motion is just a series of static states or something more dynamic. Ultimately, it prompts deeper examination of the nature of motion, time, and reality.
