What’s a solution to Zeno’s Paradox that proves math/physics is a viable tool for determining the laws of reality.

Question

I got into an argument with a friend who says logic and reason alone cannot determine the truth, and that we need emotions too. He says that Zeno’s Paradox is proof of the shortcomings of math/physics in determining the nature of reality. Is he right about this? I thought math/physics are the holy grails for understanding the nature of the universe.

Answer 1

Nothing in Zeno’s paradox (which btw was solved) implies that you need “emotions” to explain the world. Not having a logical explanation does not in any way imply there is a supernatural/emotional etc one. It just means that with the current toolset you can’t solve a problem.
