The senses
Is it like our senses perceive reality incompletely?
Does our understanding also perceive reality incompletely?
Zeno’s paradoxes: Could there be proof of this? Achilles and the tortoise, the moving arrow, and the dichotomy paradox?

Let's simplify it. From the starting point where you are, you always have to go halfway to the destination. How do you solve this?
I mean, go halfway to the destination and stop. Then go halfway to the destination and stop again, every time. And you'll never get there.
What is there to solve here? I assume that by this superficial and incorrect description you mean the Achilles and the tortoise paradox. There is nothing to solve there, as you can find with a quick search on the Internet.
I was confused. In your first answer you said. And I quote. “These paradoxes have a solution”. You mean Zeno's paradoxes, including Achilles and the tortoise, have solutions. In the second answer you write. “The Achilles and the tortoise paradox. There is nothing to solve there, etc.’. So if there is nothing to solve there, because the question does not even begin. Does the paradox come to teach us that there are things that are true in books, in mathematics, in our minds, and other options that you are probably familiar with. But in reality they do not work? You claim that at the level of words it works out wonderfully. And nothing more!?
The solution is an explanation of why the question is wrong. I directed you to the web.
