doesn't quantum mechanics mean everything has a lowest resolution of discrete steps, ie. Plank-time and Plank-length. In that sense, calculus over finite terms is enough. The paradox is illogical anyhow, it fails to equate simple v*t=s. |

That's one solution yes, but whether the universe is continuous or discreet is not a "solved" problem in physics in general. The lowest resolution could just be a "sampling restriction" (or quantum laws etc) and not the actual reality. There have been some experiments to discern between the two cases, but nothing conclusive IIRC.
>The paradox is illogical anyhow, it fails to equate simple vt=s.*
That's not being illogical. vt=s is not logic, is just a formula that we deduced and which matches what we see in everyday life (and in fact it's not absolute, e.g. when it comes close to the speed of light etc).
The paradox just checks whether vt=s is compatible with certain descriptions of the chain of events that look intuitive at first.
