The Paradox Of Achilles And The Tortoise

Zeno is well known as the inventor of the dialectic and considered as a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. Zeno of Elea is famous for having for paradoxes that concerned on the philosophical problems regarding the motion, and plurality. Zeno created 3 paradoxes regarding motion. First, is the The Paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise: If Achilles and the tortoise is in a race, wherein primary characteristic of a tortoise is having a short feet that makes them to walk slowly and Achilles as a human have long legs that made Achilles runs faster that the tortoise. According to Zeno’s paradox, Achilles allows the tortoise a hundred meter head start in a race, then, by the time tortoise reached the first point and made a big gap between them, Achilles move and reached the first point, but then the tortoise was already on the second point. By the time Achilles reached the second point, the tortoise move and reached the third point. When Achilles reached the third

The second car is bind by rope that connected to the first car. Between the first car, which has enough gas, and the second car, which has no enough gas, distance of zero is present between them and the length of the rope (l) which also be the distance between them when the first car tries to tug the rope to make the second car move. The large car started to move, but because of the length of the rope, which lets say 10 meters, the second car would not move until the 10 meters had tug by the first car, that’s the only time that the second car will move. As the first car reach the first point, that the time the rope had expanded enough to make the second car move. But when the second car reached the first point, the first car had arrived on the second point. Because of the distance and time they move, the second car would not reach the first
