So here's how it works. I post a classical question - you give the modern answer to the best of your ability (no Google). My prediction is that if there is 20 responses we will get 20 different answers.
Respond to the following claim by Zeno - "An object in motion must be moving in the space it occupies or the space it doesn't occupy. Since the space it occupies is the same size as the object, it leaves no room to move in. It can't move in the space it doesn't occupy because it isn't there. Therefore, motion is impossible".

But they do occupy space.
E=MC squared
E is a force
I'll leave it to the younger folks here to explain this in layman terms.
By the way DoomYoshi, your new avatar is far better than that last one you had.

E is not force. E is energy, and force is defined as energy per unit area. Without spatial co-ordinates, force is an undefinable concept.

In physics, energy is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms.[1] The "ability of a system to perform work" is a common description, but it is misleading because energy is not necessarily available to do work.[2] For instance, in SI units, energy is measured in joules, and one joule is defined "mechanically", being the energy transferred to an object by the mechanical work of moving it a distance of 1 metre against a force of 1 newton.[note 1] However, there are many other definitions of energy, depending on the context, such as thermal energy, radiant energy, electromagnetic, nuclear, etc., where definitions are derived that are the most convenient.
Common energy forms include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object's position in a force field (gravitational, electric or magnetic), the elastic energy stored by stretching solid objects, the chemical energy released when a fuel burns, the radiant energy carried by light, and the thermal energy due to an object's temperature. All of the many forms of energy are convertible to other kinds of energy. In Newtonian physics, there is a universal law of conservation of energy which says that energy can be neither created nor be destroyed; however, it can change from one form to another.

All E=MCC means is that not only can energy change from one form to another, energy can change to mass.
