Zeno's Paradox and the Geometric Series

Nice, very clear. Thanks!

In reality of the situation Achilles equation should be x ft/s and x = how ever fast he is running which is probably much faster that the turtle. he would not be running the same speed as the turtle, which is what the equation states in this paradox.

@Zloo420 In the video we compute the general situation were the ratio between the speeds of the turtle and that of Achilles can be any number q between 0 and 1. Clearly, in a real life situation, q is pretty close to 0.

there is no paradox. it is merely a progressive ratio with respect to quantise distance. notice that the racing track has no actual distance

nice explanation, thanks for making this

Moi isi toi video on hyvä jos sen tajuaa kuten minä en tajua niin hyvin ehkä kuin sinä hihi.
