Zeno thought it was obvious if you added an infinite number of nonzero lengths or nonzero times together you would always get something that was nfinite, and that is the foundation of his paradox; but with modern calculus we know that sometimes that isn't true, and when it isn't true calculus can tell you exactly what the FINITE length or finite time interval turns out to be. For example, the sum, of the infinite series: 1+1/4+1/9+1/16+1/25 + 1/36 + .... 1/N^2 is EXACTLY equal to (PI^2)/6.
