If at every instant in it’s flight an arrow has a distinct and measurable position, when does it move? The answer is, of course, that it’s an object in motion and so has a quality of change that you are ignoring when you merely measure the position. This is why God, Liebniz, and Newton invented …

Big Balloon Parade!
What?! You don’t have one in your home town? You see, the thing you big state people have to understand is that no place in Connecticut is more than an hour and a half away. My Aunty Mame used to ask me, “So, do you hang out in New Haven (home of Benedict Arnold, my …
