...., see also [1] 2] in 1990 Pitowsky in [25] considered such ideas in a slightly more pessimistic spirit, and in 1995 Earman in [4] examined such ideas under the name of constructibility or possibility of Plato machines ( 4] pp. 101 123) However, the emphasis in Earman s book and other works like [5], 6] and [7] is more on supertasks rather than on the Church Kalm ar Turing Theses. Other related work we mention is Gr unbaum s [9] This list of references is far from being complete, e.g. we should have mentioned the important paper of Hogarth [12] which will be essential in our ....

I shall review here a recursion theoretic version of Zeno s paradox, which has been discussed by Weyl [50] Grunbaum ( 51] p. 630) Thomson [52] Benacerraf [53] and more recently by Pitowsky [54] Hogarth [55] Earman Norton [56] and the author [57, 58] Continuum theory, in fact any dense set, in principle allows the construction of infinity machines, which could serve as oracles for the halting problem. Their construction closely follows Zeno s paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise by squeezing the time it takes for ....
