Zeno dont regret that motion is impossible.Check out real fallacy on the version of regression

Zeno's paradox tells us that before covering a distance d we should cover a fraction of the distance.The maximum smallest fraction to be covered is 0m (it is obtained by dividing d infinitely). If the speed of motion is say 1m/s in small scale doesn't it mean that we cover a point in 0 time.As 0+0+0...=1 when time approaches 1s distance too approaches 1m.Here before covering 0m the body covers the fraction of that distance!. When infinitely many 0m is covered the required distance is reached.Also using this idea before covering d, fraction of that distance is covered as d/x=0+0+0.. . (Note1-the fact that 0+0+0...=d where d is a positive real no. is obtained from the fact that a line is made from infinite no. of points of length 0m.The equation 1/0=infinity is also helpful.Note2-the speed 1m/s is also from 0s+0s+0s... . )

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

An attempt to resolve this:

It is incorrect to state $0+0+0...=d$

It instead, should be written as:

$\lim _{ n\rightarrow \infty }{ \sum _{ k=1 }^{ d }{ \frac { d }{ n } } } =d$

Maybe both are correct and represent the same.I had presented the logic behind 0+0+0...=d.-thanks sir.
