[QUOTE="JediStryker, post: 24490, member: 12"] [b]Re: Infinity:The headstart paradox[/b] That analogy is not really accurate. Man A would eventually overtake and get past Man B. If Man A were running at 10mph (yes, that's really damn slow, I'm trying to keep this simple) and Man B were running 5mph, then Man B would have been running for 2 hours to get to the 10m mark. Man A would then start. He would reach the 10m mark in 1 hour, in which Man B has gone another 5m, making his total 15m. In another hour, both men would have reached the 20m mark, and in another hour, Man B would be at 25m while Man A was at 30m. The concept you're talking about is a true one; there are an infinite amount of numbers between each number. But that does not translate to the "real world" in any meaningful way that I can see.
