1st phrase was wrong; "stumbled onto" is correct usage, rather than "scrambled across"

| Apr 21, 2015 at 5:10 | comment | added | jimjim | What does belonging to BC era means? Is that suppose to be BA era ( I.e. Before analysis) instead? | |

| Apr 18, 2015 at 8:35 | comment | added | Jan Hudec | @Feynman: No, we say a series of finite steps is completed when the last step is completed. For infinitesimal steps it does not apply. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 3:26 | comment | added | Sensebe | @JanHudec: 1)But, what's the background reason you have to say that, there is no need of last step, for a series of steps to get completed? 2)We say series to be completed when the last step is completed, right? | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 20:28 | comment | added | Jan Hudec | @Feynman: “But, for every action to complete, there must be last step, isn't it?” No, it does not. The sequence only has to have a finite sum (size). (i.e. I am responding to your premise, not the point). | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 15:32 | comment | added | Sensebe | @JanHudec: Yes, that is my point, there is no last step. So, you can't complete the series of steps because there is no last step. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 11:31 | comment | added | Jan Hudec | @Feynman: No, when the steps are infinitely divisible, there is no last one, because the last step is always divisible in two, one of which is “laster”. | |
| Apr 16, 2015 at 16:42 | comment | added | Sensebe | But, for every action to complete, there must be last step, isn't it? Here you find no last step mathematically, but you find the action being completed in reality. I think this is the logic which has to be broken in Zeno's paradox and not the time argument. I think it is not settled yet. | |

TeX formatting, paragraph formatting. Added a note on what the sum actually is
