This is a physics/calculus analogy, I remember being taught about this in AP Physics 1. Zeno states that Achilles can never catch the tortoise when given a head start, since you can always divide the distance between them more, meaning Achilles would need infinite steps to catch up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes#:~:text=In%20this%20paradox%2C%20Zeno%20argues,steps%20to%20catch%20the%20tortoise. For this to work, we must assume that Achilles has to reach the point where the tortoise was first, but when he reaches it, the Tortoise would have moved by then to a new point. This cycle repeats infinitely.
