Actually, no. If the universe didnt have quanta in measurement units, then indeed the arrow would never hit the wall. But physics has shown us that there are distinct distances under which no division is possible- ie the "planck limit"

When you get down small enough, particles "jump" from one spot to the next, without going through the distance between.


Dumb people like me, without sophisticated backgrounds in theoretical physics have had to rely on COMMON SENSE to acertain that the arrow hits the wall. Like the fact that taxes on paper profits redistribute wealth in a way that improves society for the common good of all, including those taxed.

Well it's good to see that you know that the arrow will hit the wall due to quantum theory. Of course quantum theory is THEORY, in other words it's our best guess for the reason that the arrow hits the wall.

This is known as SATIRE. Is there a theory about SATIRE that will prove it's funny?
