Poor Zeno

When Zeno sent the arrow to the target, he said it has travelled 1m distance.A real number analyst may smile at him, thinking that how can a solid piece travel a distance of 1unit from 0unit of distance. Because it is proved mathematically that between two consecutive real numbers, there are infinite number of real numbers. If the arrow was substituted by the thoughts it would have been possible because thoughts are only thoughts. If this incident is seen by a metrologist, he may agree with Zeno.According to a metrologist no mearusrement can be measured accurately.But he may add one more thing to what Zeno said. He may say that "i will agree with you provided you should add to your comment that you have reached your target within the tolerance limit". Poor Zeno he may agree with that.
