 A final possible reconstruction of Zeno’s Stadium takes it as an argument against an atomic theory of space and time, which is interesting because contemporary physics explores such a view when it attempts to ‘quantize’ spacetime. Suppose then the sides of each cube equal the ‘quantum’ of length and that the two moments considered are separated by a single quantum of time. Then something strange must happen, for the rightmost \(B\) and the middle \(C\) pass each other during the motion, and yet there is no moment at which they are level: since the two moments are separated by the smallest possible time, there can be no instant between them—it would be a time smaller than the smallest time from the two moments we considered. Conversely, if one insisted that if they pass then there must be a moment when they are level, then it shows that cannot be a shortest finite interval—whatever it is, just run this argument against it. However, why should one insist on this assumption? The problem is that one naturally imagines quantized space as being like a chess board, on which the chess pieces are frozen during each quantum of time. Then one wonders when the red queen, say, gets from one square to the next, or how she gets past the white queen without being level with her. But the analogy is misleading. It is better to think of quantized space as a giant matrix of lights that holds some pattern of illuminated lights for each quantum of time. In this analogy a lit bulb represents the presence of an object: for instance a series of bulbs in a line lighting up in sequence represent a body moving in a straight line. In this case there is no temptation to ask when the light ‘gets’ from one bulb to the next—or in analogy how the body moves from one location to the next. (Here we touch on questions of temporal parts, and whether objects ‘endure’ or ‘perdure’.)
