    "abstract": "``No one has ever touched Zeno without refuting him\u0027\u0027. We will not refute\nZeno in this paper. Instead we review some unexpected encounters of Zeno with\nmodern science. The paper begins with a brief biography of Zeno of Elea\nfollowed by his famous paradoxes of motion. Reflections on continuity of space\nand time lead us to Banach and Tarski and to their celebrated paradox, which is\nin fact not a paradox at all but a strict mathematical theorem, although very\ncounterintuitive. Quantum mechanics brings another flavour in Zeno paradoxes.\nQuantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects are really paradoxical but now experimental\nfacts. Then we discuss supertasks and bifurcated supertasks. The concept of\nlocalization leads us to Newton and Wigner and to interesting phenomenon of\nquantum revivals. At last we note that the paradoxical idea of timeless\nuniverse, defended by Zeno and Parmenides at ancient times, is still alive in\nquantum gravity. The list of references that follows is necessarily incomplete\nbut we hope it will assist interested reader to fill in details.",
