I didn’t specifically mean the paradoxes, I meant Zeno as the first guy who said “Let’s throw some infinities into a physical-world scenario and see how many amphoras of wine do we need until it starts to make sense...”
Oh, I see. I strongly suspect, that the abstract world of pure mathematics doesn’t handle infinities any better than the real world does. It’s a fundamentally broken. I mean the infinity is a fundamentally broken concept.
Well, I don’t even believe in mathematics outside the physical world. It’s just a game of particles in Zeno’s head. Or Cantor’s or any other human’s head. Okay, heads, papers, blackboards, computers etc. Mathematics lives inside of physics only.

I don’t know about that. It’s a model. “All models are wrong, but some are useful”—George Box
On the other hand: “God created the integers and the rest is the work of man” :-/
