No, he can't. It isn't a paradox.

Can't he just reach out and grab the bus when he gets close?

quote:

Suppose Homer wants to catch a stationary bus. Before he can get there, he must get halfway there. Before he can get halfway there, he must get a quarter of the way there. Before traveling a quarter, he must travel one-eighth; before an eighth, one-sixteenth; and so on. Can he reach the bus?

I once argued with an idiot for almost an hour about this. He kept saying yes. To make him see the truth, I asked him if they guy would ever get past the point. He finally got it.

The Barber Paradox

The barber is the "one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves." The question is, does the barber shave himself?

Car is going down the road at 55 mph.

Look at one of the tires, which part of the tire is going the fastest?
The top? The bottom? All the same? Front, back?
Is the part touching the ground even moving?

I'm going to say the top but the answer is going to be no part is moving.

I had a friend who mentioned this to me once, although I don't really have my head wrapped around the why of it. The part touching the road isn't accelerating. I remember that much. I'm going to guess that acceleration is at its maximum at the top.

Now that I think of Haydel's question, I might get it if it just has to do with perspective.

ETA: I might be getting concepts all confused here though.

With relation to someone standing on the side of the road, the top is moving the fastest. The back side is accelerating, the front side is decelerating, the bottom is stationary.

In relation to the center of the axle, all points on the outside are moving the fastest.

Ok. I think I get it. That makes sense.

Yep the spare tire in the trunk is going 55 as well, so the top of the tire is going rotational speed plus 55. The front and back are going 55 forward but heading to and coming from being at 0.


So is the whole action a reciprocating motion of sorts?
