The "Tortoise vs. Achilles" paradox is said to originate from the words of Greek philosopher "Zeno," from the 5th century. Zeno proposes the idea of infinite subdivisions in movement, the paradox of reaching a point, yet never reaching said point.

Say there is a tortoise, given a head start in a race against the fleet-footed Achilles. Once Achilles is to move, no matter how fast he runs, there will be an infinite times that Achilles did not reach the tortoise. Achilles will have moved towards the tortoise, and the tortoise, ever so slightly, will have moved ahead too. Say Achilles is chasing after the tortoise (of course not stopping upon reaching it), the tortoise would have moved further ahead since the last time he was next to it, therefore shifting the goal post even further. Achilles cannot win the race because he cannot catch up to the tortoise, but, obviously he can. This is why it is a paradox. Logically, it is true that Achilles never makes it ahead of the tortoise, but in practice, he does.

An infinite amount of time passes before Achilles will reach the tortoise.


In what seems like an infinite passage of time, Hive will reach Rank #1.
In this infinite time we will train. In this infinite time, we will get stronger by several orders of magnitude.

In what was an infinite amount of time which has passed, we have reached Rank #2. I'm proud of us all.

Everyone reply so as to congratulate Hive on achieving Rank 2, and please send wishes to the clan for us to reach newer heights.
