In a myriad ages it will not be exhausted Ī version of the series appears in the ancient Taoist book Zhuangzi. The parts of the Eye of Horus were once thought to represent the first six summands of the series. This can be easily resolved by noting that each time interval is a term of the infinite geometric series, and will sum to a finite number. The Dichotomy paradox also states that to move a certain distance, you have to move half of it, then half of the remaining distance, and so on, therefore having infinitely many time intervals. Zeno argued that the tortoise would always remain ahead of Achilles. Achilles would then have to move 5 meters, where the tortoise would move 2.5 meters, and so on. Achilles would have to move 10 meters to catch up to the tortoise, but the tortoise would already have moved another five meters by then. The tortoise, with a 10-meter advantage, Zeno argued, would win. Achilles could run at 10 m/s, while the tortoise only 5. For example, in the paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, the warrior Achilles was to race against a tortoise. This series was used as a representation of many of Zeno's paradoxes. 2.3 In a myriad ages it will not be exhaustedġ 2 + 1 4 + 1 8 + 1 16 + ⋯ approaches 0 and so s n tends to 1.
