Regarding the nature of perception: Can you detect infinitely small movements of, for example, someone's hand? Can you think "I'm gonna look at his hand until it has moved"?

Perhaps I'm sniffing at Zero's paradoxes which claim that motion is impossible.

Perhaps there is no such thing as infinitely small distances/moviments. And the smallest possible distance (thus movement) is the Planck length

We might be able to detect the small movements, but not process these small movements, which makes it difficult for us to actually perceive said movements.

On the flip side, we might be able to detect and process these small movements, but not in the way the movements are actually motioning.
