Paradox

I’ve been trying to make sense of this all week – what does ‘1/0’ mean? 1/0 is undefined. Dividing 1 by 0 makes no sense. This prompted the question of what is one, and where can one be, and how could one even be divided.

Between past and future there is a point we call the present; it is the only place one can be. This point is undefined; it is a singularity without substance, like zero. Is it logical to say that one exists?

Are 1 and 0 equivalent? Perhaps 1 is in a perpetual state of becoming.

Everything must always have existed, since there can be nothing… (there can not be nothing…) Clearly there isn’t a place that nothing can exist, and so ‘space’ is impossible, everything must be ‘full’. Somehow the present seems not to be tangible. Is it the passing of time that allows for existence? Is everything in an intermediary state of transition between ‘0 and 1’ – never fully existing? (of course it is not the case that there is nothing) Or is this just a problem for consciousness?

Clearly this line if inquiry is not a path to the ‘good life’

(Somewhat related: an arrow shot from a bow must go halfway to the target then halfway again infinitely, never reaching the mark. Consider, the arrow must get halfway to the first halfway point, and so on infinitely in the other direction; the problem’s the same for every point along the way. The arrow is unable to leave the bow. Motion is apparently impossible. There is an infinity of points between every point. (of course this is old news, it’s just; why has everyone been claiming that the arrow could possibly leave the bow in the first place?)

BTW, is Schrodinger’s cat just another lame paradox?… or
