# As time is infininitly(spelling?) divisible
surely any instant of time is therefore finite, and not an instant. So the arrow can move. Creating an imaginary zero length time, reduces this paradox to nothing more than a mental conundrum that can easily be solved with booze.

# I was reading something on New Scientist
time can only be divided so far.. other wise laws of physics stop applying and things start acting weird. or something.

edit: shortest messured period of time is 100 attoseconds.

"To imagine how long this is, if 100 attoseconds is stretched so that it lasts one second, one second would last 300 million years on the same scale." apparently

EDIT: this wasn't an edit... not sure how I managed this one.
