 He is one of the first Pythagoreans, and he grew up at the beginning of the fifth century BC. He was a philosopher and logical, so he realized the existence of intellectual difficulties that had never occurred to the mathematicians, as they considered that the straight line consisted of a set of points, so how can we reconcile this idea with the connection of the straight line .

The rectum is not a chain, it is connected Entirely, this is the opinion of Zeno of Elea.

The mathematicians mentioned that the line is a set of points and between every two points a point, but logic says that the distance between two points does not affect the essence of the discussion because the distance, no matter how small, the two points remain separate.

Difficulties were also encountered that obstruct the division of time, so do we consider it separate or continuous, as well as the division of motion, which is the movement of a body from a specific place to another place.

Aristotle mentioned Zeno's meditations in the book of nature and called them fallacies, although he could not refute them. They are meditations that delve into the depths of thought and preoccupied mathematicians until the discovery of geometric series.
