La Fleche de Zenon

At this point in time the rock is not falling or hovering or travel- ing in a straight line between two points. At this point in time the waves are not crashing on the shore, the clouds are still, & the moon has stopped orbiting the Earth. At any point in time, says Zeno, an arrow is not moving to where it is going or where it is not. No time elapses; so how can it move? It is already here, so how can it move here? At this point in time I am watching the movement of a painting that does not move & yet it moves this viewer even though, at this point in time, the viewer is motionless.
