I didn’t specifically mean the paradoxes, I meant Zeno as the first guy who said “Let’s throw some infinities into a physical-world scenario and see how many amphoras of wine do we need until it starts to make sense...”
Oh, I see. I strongly suspect, that the abstract world of pure mathematics doesn’t handle infinities any better than the real world does. It’s a fundamentally broken. I mean the infinity is a fundamentally broken concept.
Well, I don’t even believe in mathematics outside the physical world. It’s just a game of particles in Zeno’s head. Or Cantor’s or any other human’s head. Okay, heads, papers, blackboards, computers etc. Mathematics lives inside of physics only.
So it’s looks like.
This does not follow at all.
You should rather smell Yablo.

I don’t know about that. It’s a model. “All models are wrong, but some are useful”—George Box
On the other hand: “God created the integers and the rest is the work of man” :-/
