Inspiration for Zenos

Make the unimaginable imaginable

Our vision and the way we work all originate from one of the oldest puzzles in philosophy: Zeno's paradox. A paradox that was formulated to challenge our understanding of motion and infinity.

01 · The paradox

What seems impossible

In the paradox, Achilles chases a tortoise. And every time Achilles reaches the tortoise's previous position, the tortoise always just has moved on. So Zeno asks, \textit{how can Achilles ever catch up?}

02 · The solution

Comes down to perspective

Achilles winning the race was never impossible; the reasoning was. The obvious only required a new concept: the idea of convergent series.

03 · Our view

Physiology is no different

Solving physiological questions with models has its limitations now. However, with the right approach we can extend our reach beyond what is currently possible.

The search for the next model

Our long-term goal is a mathematical model that describes human physiology in the most diverse conditions, ranging from extreme heat to severe blood loss. Of course, we won't get there in one leap. Each version needs to form the foundation for the next one. Just like Achilles, we will close the distance step by step.

Every step brings us closer. Enough steps, and we arrive.
