Hbox demasiado lleno en el entorno de alineación: ¿cómo debo dividir las líneas?

Question

Estoy intentando crear un argumento lógico, pero aparece el error de hbox demasiado lleno.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb, amsfonts}

\begin{align*} 
P1\text{*}: & \quad \text{P1 is a mathematical abstraction of distance.} \\ 
P2\text{*}: & \quad \text{P2 is a statement regarding distances in the physical world.} \\
P3\text{*}: & \quad \text{The physical world requires a resolution to distinguish distance, while mathematics can use any resolution.} \\
C1\text{*}: & \quad \text{Therefore, Zeno's argument is flawed.}
\end{align*}

Quiero dividir la línea en la coma en la línea "El mundo físico requiere una resolución para distinguir la distancia, mientras que las matemáticas pueden usar cualquier resolución", pero ¿cómo haría eso? ¡Gracias!

Answer 1

Aquí hay dos posibilidades usando tabularxo itemize:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{l<:X}
P1* & P1 is a mathematical abstraction of distance.\\
P2* & P2 is a statement regarding distances in the physical world. \\
P3* & The physical world requires a resolution to distinguish distance, while mathematics can use any resolution. \\
C1 & Therefore, Zeno's argument is flawed.
\end{tabularx}

\begin{itemize}
\item[P1*:] P1 is a mathematical abstraction of distance.
\item [P2*:]  P2 is a statement regarding distances in the physical world. 
\item[P3*:]  The physical world requires a resolution to distinguish distance, while mathematics can use any resolution. 
\item[C1:]  Therefore, Zeno's argument is flawed.
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Answer 2

Con un descriptionentorno y paquete enumitem:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\begin{description}[font = \normalfont, labelwidth=1cm, leftmargin=!, itemsep=2pt]
\item[P1\textsuperscript{*}:] P1 is a mathematical abstraction of distance.
\item[P2\textsuperscript{*}:] P2 is a statement regarding distances in the physical world. distinguish distance, while mathematics can use any resolution.
\item[P3\textsuperscript{*}:] The physical world requires a resolution to distinguish distance, while mathematics can use any resolution.
\item[C1\textsuperscript{*}:] Therefore, Zeno's argument is flawed.
\end{description}

\end{document}
