About Time and Space

Paradox?

If an object is traveling back and forth in space (Assume that Gravitational pull and Inertia are not affecting the object) in a perfectly strait line at a consistent speed (fast or slow), does it stop at each end? Of course, the quick answer is yes, but consider this. If there is an exact point at each end where the object is not moving (forwards or backwards) it could also be said that at any exact point on the line the object is not moving. Therefor the object is not moving at all.

So, let's conclude that the object continues moving even as it changes direction. In order to come to this conclusion, you have to first define "Movement." If Movement is the state an object is in when, within the next exact moment, the object is in a different point in space, then it could be said that the object never stops when it changes direction. The exact moment that it stops going one direction it starts going the other.

The problem is exactness. Is there is such thing as an "Exact moment" in time or "Exact point" in Space? The closer you get, the more decimals you get. If I were to say "One second it was going left, and the next it was going right." the object could have stopped at any point within that one second. In other words, the same thing could be said for any amount of time.


But, there is one undeniable truth. The Object changes direction at a moment in time. The question is that if we "Zoom in" far enough on the timeline will we find a span of time where the Object is in Purgatory, not moving left or right.


Not that it really matters, But I don't think it stops.


What do you think? What's your take on the whole situation? Am I right or wrong? Or, am I just completely off factually and the whole scenario is bullshit?
