In the paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, Achilles can never overtake the tortoise in a race because every time Achilles reaches the point where the tortoise was, the tortoise has moved further ahead. Mathematically, this infinite series of smaller and smaller distances means that Achilles will never catch up to the tortoise in a finite amount of time.
