I would've made a /lit/ thread about this, but that's dead so me go here me guess

so I was reading le greeks and rn I'm on The First Philosophers, Oxford World's Classic. This may be a stupid question, but what did the early Atomists think 'motion' or 'time' truly was? Because it seems to me that if time and motion were both discrete (for the Atomists) then their philosophy would make sense, however if motion wasn't discrete and time was (as they seem to imply), then they would fail to solve Zeno's Dichotomy/Achilles paradox. Yes, atoms might not be infinitely divisible, but the void they move through would still be, and thus the Achilles paradox still holds as long as they believe time isn't infinitely divisible. Deepseek told me that they believed motion occured in "steps" or "jumps", but idk if I believe this since I couldn't really find anything online about this idea. Am I just misunderstanding the text itself? pls someone help a retard like me understand o algo ;-;

>>99869I don't read much nonfiction tbh. It seems to make people become judgemental and violent and deadly.
