This gets complicated because we have to bring in the past and future; the arrow must have been in motion before getting to that certain instant and should be in a continuous movement after passing that certain instant. Therefore I think there is motion and this argument can be seen as flawed because the arrow was continuously in motion. Zeno states that the arrow is in separate places of time, the past, present and future. We get the same conclusion as the arguments stated above. The arrow is at a position at any point of its movement to be at a position the arrow is at rest. Any point of movement it is out of position but what is point? The point is time. A point in time is talking about the now. So if you assume plurality there is a contradiction so there can’t be plurality. So according to Aristotle, the flaw is the understanding of time in terms of the now, the present. Zeno assumes there is no movement but doesn’t prove it he makes people think about
