full_question: Maimonides attempted to refute kalam theology by describing how an object undergoing this process does not explode. Jean Buridan explained this phenomenon with his theory of impetus. This phenomenon is called "the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality" in the first of Aquinas' five arguments for God's existence. A treatise on this subject attempts to refute the dichotomy and arrow paradoxes that were described by Zeno of Elea. In On the Heavens, Aristotle writes that this phenomenon occurs from, towards, or about the center, and it is also the subject of his Physics. For 10 points, identify this condition in which an object is not stationary.
