[QUOTE="mr_bumpkin, post: 24499, member: 513"] [b]Re: Infinity:The headstart paradox[/b] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(\"Alpha and 0mega\")</div> We'll say the head start was 2 seconds. We'll say man A runs at 10 m/sec and Man B runs at 5m/sec First second..... (the headstart) Man A stands still and goes 0 m. He's gone a total of 0 m by the end of the second. Man B goes 5 m. He has gone a total of 5m by the end. Second Second (heheheh, get it? bad pun) (headstart continued) Man A stands still and goes 0 m. He's gone a total of 0 m by the end of the second. Man B goes 5 m. He has gone a total of 10m by the end. Third Second. Man A goes 10 m. He's gone a total of 10 m by the end of the second. Man B goes 5 m. He's gone a total of 15 m by the end of the second. Fourth Second Man A goes 10 m. He's gone a total of 20 m by the end of the second. Man B goes 5 m. He's gone a total of 20 m by the end of the second. This is the catching point. Fifth Second Man A goes 10 m. He's gone a total of 30 m by the end of the second. Man B goes 5 m. He's gone a total of 25 m by the end of the second. The thing is, Alpha & Omega, the situation you have described is a contradiction because it could never result from one being twice as fast as the other. That would require something much more complicated to happen, which I may describe in a later post, after I get back from the store (because it will soon close) [/QUOTE]
