Unless, of course, if motion itself is a quantum effect. I have read that
there may be a minimal quanta of motion, in which case, there would come a
point where you could no longer go only half the distance. This theory fits
current thinking about the quantum nature of reality, and pretty much blows
the old infinite-halves conumdrum out of the water. (Analog is just really
super high res digital)
Damn clever these physicists. But don't invite one to a really great party.
