[MD] BioCentrism: Was Zeno correct?

[118]

Hi Marsha,
I am not much of a Huffington reader.  But this does seem to bring up the
paradoxes coming from quantum mechanics.  Because they are paradoxes, they
are interesting, but may just point to the circular referencing of knowledge
and the pitfalls one can run into using logic.  Physics is not different in
this respect.  At such times, one can simply revert back to the intuitive
and dispel what logic or math tell us.  Such quandaries also result from
quantum vector collapse.  Logical statements may be misleading and perhaps
aberrations of the method of analysis or description.  As such, the
intellectual level has its own faults.  It is interesting to consider why
they arise, what is the root of such paradoxes?  Whether it be Zeno or
Coveney, both are descriptions created by the human mind.  Where is the
defect?

Cheers,
Mark
