The Animal Achilles Couldn't Pass; Turtle

Hello. I hadn't been to the photography community for a while. Actually, nice photos have accumulated. But my recent intensity prevented me from visiting here for a while.

Today I will share with you a photo of a tiny baby turtle. Turtles always remind me of the Achilles-Turtle paradox. I learned about this paradox in a Logic class at university. When Achilles and the Turtle, who are going to race, come to the starting line, Achilles gives a little advance to the Turtle. After the tortoise has advanced for a while, Achilles starts the race. Although Achilles is the greatest runner, he can never outrun the Tortoise. Because in order for Achilles to pass the tortoise, he must first catch it. In order to catch him, he must first close half the distance between them. Then it should cover half of the remaining distance. Then it should cover half of the remaining distance. Meanwhile, the turtle continues to move forward. This is how it goes. After all, Achilles can never outrun the tortoise.

This turtle cub was in a place where people roamed. To save this tiny puppy from this danger, we took him in a car and transported him to a place where he could grow up safer. It's the first time I've picked up a turtle. This was very exciting for me.

I hope you like this little pup as well. See you again.

It reminds me of retirement; for every couple of years I work, the retirement age gets raised - will I ever be allowed to retire ;-) Thanks for sharing your photos.

Hahha, that was an interesting and ironic analogy. I hope everything turns out the way you want. Thanks for the comment.
