This is a animation about the Achilles and the Tortoise paradox. Here is a summary of the paradox: The Achilles and the Tortoise paradox, proposed by Zeno of Elea, imagines a race between the swift Achilles and a slow-moving tortoise. To be fair, Achilles gives the tortoise a head start. Once the race begins, Achilles runs to the point where the tortoise started, but by then, the tortoise has moved forward. Achilles then runs to that new point, but the tortoise has again advanced slightly. This pattern continues endlessly, with Achilles always reaching the spot where the tortoise *was*, but never quite where it *is*. Because this process goes on forever, Zeno argues that Achilles can never overtake the tortoise, despite being faster.
