Achilles & The Tortoise - Zeno's Paradox SOLVED

Zeno's famous paradox of motion (and why he believed motion to be impossible). Zeno argues that the Greek hero Achilles could never catch a tortoise in a race, as long as the tortoise is given a head start. The paradoxes of the philosopher Zeno, born approximately 490 BC in southern Italy have puzzled mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers for millennia. Although none of his work survives today, over 40 paradoxes are attributed to him which appeared in a book he wrote as a defense of the philosophies of his teacher, Parmenides.
