Summary/Abstract: Among Zeno paradoxes the most known are Dichotomy, Achilles, Arrow, and Stadium. These argumentations state that movement is impossible since it is not thinkable. According to the ascendant form of dichotomy, a mobile cannot touch its destination since it always must to reach the half of the distance. The solutions of Diogenes, Aristotle and mathematical analysis are not satisfactory. Finally, the difference between rest and movement can be only conventionally established.
