A paradox is the realization that a simple problem has two apparently contradicting solutions. Whether intuitively, or using a formula, or using a program, we can easily solve the problem. However, someone challenges us with another method to solve t...

In the arrow paradox, Zeno uses the example of an arrow in flight. He states that for motion to occur, the arrow must change the position which it occupies, but for every such position we see no motion, thus motion does not exist. Modern formulation:...

There are many, many ways to prove or demonstrate the Pythagoras’ theorem. Our approach here is to be simple, understandable, not overly detailed, use only basic geometry and use colors to make it enjoyable to read and to teach.To make our explanatio...

In this article I explain Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise first proposed by Zeno almost twenty five centuries ago. I show what it means to solve a paradox, I propose a solution of this paradox, and I show why other explanations of this pa...
