Misinterpretation of Zeno
Zeno believed that a void cannot exist for movement to be possible and that if a void existed, movement would not be possible, i.e. the opposite of what is being stated here. Parmenides, his mentor, said that "A is not" can never be thought or said truthfully, and therefore there can be no void between things - i.e. there must be continuity for movement to be possible. Zeno quote from Laertius and Epiphanius: ΤΟ ΚΙΝΟΥΜΕΝΟΝ ΟΥΤ ΕΝ Ω ΕΣΤΙ ΤΟΠΩ ΚΙΝΕΙΤΑΙ ΟΥΤ ΕΝ Ω ΜΗ ΕΣΤΙ, ΟΥΚ ΑΡA ΤΙ ΚΙΝΕΙΤΑΙ, something finite cannot move within the finite location where it is neither in the location were it is not, so it would not move (i.e. if objects had a finite size and occupied finite locations in space). Therefore for something to move, matter and space cannot be discrete as Democritus was arguing, they must be continuous, i.e. they cannot be subject to division into smaller pieces/segments.
