"You said that "We make an infinite number of movement events through an infinite number of moments in time to reach the corner." Here is one of the comments that I made to help clarify my position. "Instead of attempting to determine how infinitesimally small the measurable aspects of time could be, we simply resort to terms like ‘moment’ or ‘instance’, not that scientific but practically useful." It both clarifies that we separate time into pieces to explain our experiences and that time is not logically made up of separatable pieces. Now while I'm taking a breath, I will remind you that if you begin misrepresenting my end of the discussion, I will consider the thing done and you as having failed to hold up your end. If that is what you prefer, we can then go back to bashing one another at your leasure. "I merely pointed out that this is patently false. You have never done either and you never will. If there are infinite moments of time or space between you and an object, then you can never reach the object. You could not even blink. I agree with you that under the infinity of division premise you could not have a time driven blink that involves a past present and future progression. You may recall that I have asked you to stop and consider the merits of an eternal moment of the present. Under this premise it all works. But you have to at least set aside some preconcieved notions for the moment.
