Abstract

The article considers various ways of resolving Zeno’s Arrow Paradox. We show that it may be resolved through reinterpreting the term «now». Using the primitive entity «twinkling» based on actual time perception instead of the standard primitive temporal entity «instant» makes it possible to keep both all the premises and the structure of the paradox but avoid controversy.
