Is moving mathematically impossible?

No, to address Zeno's Paradox, the infinite number of "baby steps" you must take is offset by the infinitesimal amount of time it takes to make each of them.  More precisely, even though when you run a race, you can't cross the halfway point until you get to the quarter point, which can't be crossed until you get to the eighth point, ad infinitum, if s(t) represents the possible distance that can be traversed after the first t seconds, then as s(t) -> 0, t -> 0 as well.\n\nBefore the advent of calculus, we didn't have a well-known mathematically precise way to deal with the idea of infinite sums.  Now, we simply can work with the definition that infinite sums are limits of the sequence of partial finite sums.  Therefore to say that we need to cross the halfway point, then the 3 quarters point, then the 7/8ths point, ad infinitum to complete a race, we can express the completion of the race by noting SUM_{i=1}^n 1/2^n -> 1 as n -> infinity.

The easy answer is no. The pieces that the sphere would have to be split into would not be physically possible. The proof itself depends on the axiom of choice. In fact, there are models of set theory that don't have the axiom of choice where the Banach-Tarski paradox cannot happen. This shows that an infinite number of choices is needed, which demonstrates the physical impossibility.

i don't know i don't think it's possible\n\ni tried 1010-10=1000\n\nso u c cant just do it with one straight line

I think the hardest question ever asked was asked by a scientist.  This was the question, and it literally drove him insane thinking about it:  Two large metallic orbs are traveling towards each other on a collision course.  Both are indestructable, and nothing can divert them from their path in any way.  They can never stop moving on their path for any reason.  What would happen when they collide?  Neither can be moved from the path that they are traveling, they cannot be destroyed, and they can never stop moving.

Depends on how far away the wall is, don't you think, and the limits on your methods of measuring "half way"?  Eventually the difference between the distance from the center of the room to the wall and the sum of your moves will be less than your ability to measure.  That's the role of the little epsilon in the theory of limits.  Let the distance, center to wall, be D.  Then\n\nD - [(1/2)D+(1/4)D+...+(1/2^n)D]=(1/2^n)D\n\nWhen you cannot measure (1/2^n)D, you're there, for all practical purposes.\n\nTell a mathematician and an engineer they can approach the naked girl tied to the tree in this fashion [sorry, ladies, but in ancient times engineers were all male].  The mathematician will throw up his hands {so were mathematicians, with a few notable exceptions), saying, "I'll never get there."  The engineer will grin and say, "I'll get close enough."

i think it's impossible honestly!!!!!!! ask a fortuneteller perhaps. let me know if u find out the other ways!

A philosophical question. In physics no force is unstoppable.

absolutely impossible

Humanly impossible and goes against gravity, the rotation of the earth, the moon, the sun. Joke question right?

No. There is no practical possibility. Humans can't travel at a speed equal to or greater than that of light.

You can't, the mountain climber is a SCALAR (the cross product requires two VECTORS)

No... is that possible?

It's debatable.  Here's an interesting column that addresses the question:\nhttp://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57188.html

This kinda thing is impossible...

Bacause Nothing is impossible. Just because you can't make it possible, doesn't mean that someone somewhere sometime can't make it possible.
