The simple solves for Zeno paradoxes were easy to comprehend even for me: Zeno's paradoxes by Miles Mathis
The quote below is the remark pertaining to the "Arrow" paradox solution. It seems to me that, when this logic is applied to all modern physics, there will be nothing left from it, just a pile of rubbish. All of it has been built on false premises...

Math applied to a physical problem should express the mechanics of the problem. If it does not, it is bad math. Math that expresses motion as an infinite series of instants is bad math, since the instant does not exist in any physical problem. Only the interval exists. Math applied to motion should therefore express intervals, not instants. An instant is a non-physical, non-existential abstraction. It is useless even as a mathematical entity, since it has no referent except to the physical. Time divorced from physics is meaningless. It is just another zero-dimension variable, indistinguishable from any other naked variable, in which case the name "time" is arbitrary. In fact, time has meaning only in regard to motion.
