In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead. – as recounted by Aristotle, Physics VI:9, 239b15
In the paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, Achilles is in a footrace with the tortoise. Achilles allows the tortoise a head start of 100 metres, for example. If we suppose that each racer starts running at some constant speed (one very fast and one very slow), then after some finite time, Achilles will have run 100 metres, bringing him to the tortoise's starting point. During this time, the tortoise has run a much shorter distance, say, 10 metres. It will then take Achilles some further time to run that distance, by which time the tortoise will have advanced farther; and then more time still to reach this third point, while the tortoise moves ahead. Thus, whenever Achilles reaches somewhere the tortoise has been, he still has farther to go. Therefore, because there are an infinite number of points Achilles must reach where the tortoise has already been, he can never overtake the tortoise.[8][9]
from wikipedia.
Let's calculate the time one by one, if time can be divided any times, Achilles can not overtake the tortoise before:
t1+t2+t3... t1 = 10s t2 = 1s, t3 = 0.1s... A geometric progression with q=0.1, a1=10.
then the sum is a1/(1-q)-a1/(1-q)*q^n S∞=a1/(1-q) （n-> ∞）= 100/9
use velocity difference between A and T, 9m/s, we can get same result.
A basis of infinite and limit is to agree 1/∞ --> 0.
