Now i am going to use this platform to give my solution to the famous Achilles and the tortoise paradox(learn more). Well my solution is like this: As Achilles approaches nearer the tortoise because of his greater speed and as the distances between their body molecules becomes microscopic, the laws of quantum physics come into play( Of-course these laws are always true but they are observable only when the subjects or the measurements to be taken are in the microscopic order). So i hope everyone must have heard about the Tunneling Effect. Well, I have studied it and it is something like this: there is a probability that a particle can jump out of a well of infinite height even though it doesn't have sufficient energy. Because of its wave nature it can exist on both sides of the well. Here i am going to improvise the theory of Tunneling Effect. The particle which has greater speed will have more probability( probability directly proportional to some high power of speed) to be in front when there is only microscopic distances between the two particles (by the corollary of the improvised Tunneling Effect). So slowly and steadily (for humans the phenomenon takes place extremely fast) the molecules of Achilles come in front of the molecules of the tortoise and voila Achilles overtakes it!Thus the paradox for the day is solved.
astounding concept...brilliantly stated...the initiative taken by the blogger to think over such complicated matters deserves appreciation.
