Achille’s paradox… why can’t Achilles just reach the tortoise?
In: Other
Because in order to make it to the tortoise, first he has to make it halfway there.
But before he can make it halfway, he has to make it halfway to the halfway point.
But first he has to make it halfway to *that* point. And over and over and over and over it goes.
It explains something called infinite regression, and not meant to be taken literally.
