   The best they can do is to ignore megalomaniac lunatics like you who like to   
   use fancy terms but do not have the first clue what they are babbling about.

   No, Zeno's paradox and ideas of "what happens if an unstoppable force acts   
   on an immovable object" play no role in Physics.  Those are merely   
   laypeople's misconceptions what Physics would be about.   
      
   Physics is NOT philosophy.
