Others-First Paradox

In the arrow paradox, Zeno states that for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies. He gives an example of an arrow in flight. He states that in any one (duration-less) instant of time, the arrow is neither moving to where it is, nor to where it is not.15 It cannot move to where it is not, because no time elapses for it to move there; it cannot move to where it is, because it is already there. In other words, at every instant of time there is no motion occurring. If everything is motionless at every instant, and time is entirely composed of instants, then motion is impossible.
Whereas the first two others-first paradoxes divide space, this paradox starts by dividing time—and not into segments, but into points.

The first soldier

Albert was born in Reauville in the department of Drôme in south-eastern France on the 5th of March 1895. He was the third son of a modest family of farmers. His father was Séverin Roche and his mother was Louise Savel.
France's Albert Severin Roche became known as “The First Soldier” of France for his heroism and bravery. Despite his small stature and his peers' scepticism, by the end of WW1 Albert had more than proved himself, having captured over 1,180 prisoners while fighting for the French Army.
The First Soldier of france was incredibly brave, he captured 1,180 prisoners while fighting for the French Army!
