When Calvin left San Donas, he fell three times in a short distance.

Chen Luo, who was about to go out to buy vegetables, saw it, but he was not surprised at all.

Not to mention Calvin, even in modern times, a student who has received modern mathematics education from an early age can't help but doubt life when he first hears Zeno's paradox.

In the history of the development of physics, there used to be four great beasts.

These four mythical beasts are Zeno's tortoise, Laplace's beast, Maxwell's demon, and Schrödinger's cat.

The four great beasts correspond to calculus, classical mechanics, the second law of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics respectively.

Among them, Zeno's tortoise can shrink the earth into an inch, Laplace's beast understands everything, Maxwell's demon manipulates everything to reverse yin and yang, and Schrödinger's cat creates the universe beyond life and death.

These four mythical beasts are both good and evil. They have not only brought confusion and trouble to scientists, but also pointed out the path and direction of science for human beings.

What Chen Luo released today was Zeno's tortoise.

One can say that it is a mathematical problem, one can also say that it is a physical problem, and one can also say that it is a philosophical problem.

In philosophy, some people use the essence of motion to explain it, and in physics, some people use quantum mechanics to explain it.

But if you want to solve Zeno's tortoise completely with mathematical methods, you must first solve the limit problem.

But for two thousand years, no one, even a great mathematician like Euler Gauss, can explain the mystery of the limit. Therefore, this unreasonable Zeno’s tortoise settled in the physical empire for 2000 years in the form of a mythical beast.

Two thousand years later, it was not until Leibniz and Newton invented calculus that the limit problem was solved. However, even so, whether it is mathematics, philosophy, or physics, they still quarreled endlessly because of this turtle.

Later, countless explanations have been derived about Zeno's paradox. People insist on their own opinions and stick to their own ideas, and no one can convince others.

Of course, no matter what the result is, Zeno's paradox has greatly promoted the development of mathematics, philosophy, and physics.

This is not what Chen Luo cares about. What he cares about is that after the turtle is released, those Gaya scholars should buy standing tickets overnight and return home, right?

After they left, his five thousand gold coins, no, seven thousand gold coins, would be in place immediately...

Although two thousand gold coins is a little less, but considering that this should be Calvin's limit, Chen Luo will just let it go for the sake of his old friend...

It’s still a quick way to get money, Chen Luo even expects that Luo Lan will come to a group of scholars from several countries, after finishing mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., can also do it again...

...

In the past two days, the three major problems that have stumped Gaya scholars have temporarily faded out of people's sight.

Scholars in Yapo City are all studying Blair's tortoise.

Even ordinary civilians are full of curiosity about this question.

Why can't the great magister catch up with a tortoise? How fast can a tortoise that can't even catch up with a great wind magician?

Of course, the civilians don't understand, but the scholars in Yapo City know very well that the root of this problem is not whether the great magister can catch up with the turtle, but how to catch up.

Everyone knows that the great great magister, Master Achilles will be able to catch up with the tortoise, but how did he catch up?

If time and distance can be infinitely divided, how did he complete this infinite process?

This seems to be beyond their cognition.

Some people also began to doubt the earliest school of thought that originated from Gaya, that time and space cannot be divided infinitely, but this is even more difficult to understand.

If time and space cannot be infinitely divided, is there a minimum unit of time and space?

The scope of discussion on this issue is far beyond the irrational numbers at that time. In Yapo City, it has almost reached the point of discussion among the whole people.

Even every day, many civilians gathered around the gate of the Mathematical Association, curiously asking the scholars about the great magister and the turtle.

Scholars passing by, if there is no urgent matter, will generally explain to them.

An obese pet shop owner stopped a scholar and asked curiously, "How fast is that tortoise even if the great magister of the wind system can't catch up?"

The scholar shook his head, and patiently explained: "It's not a question of whether the tortoise can run fast, but a question of whether time and space can be infinitely divided..."

The owner of the pet shop waved his hand and said, "I don't care if time can be divided, I just want to know how that tortoise runs so fast, and what did it eat to grow up?"

The scholar said helplessly, "That's not the point. Do you think Your Excellency Blair doesn't know if the great magister can catch up with the tortoise?"

The owner of the pet shop frowned and said, "I don't care about this, just tell me why the tortoise crawls so fast, can it fly?"

The scholar was a little impatient, and said: "I've said it all, the great magister will definitely be able to catch up with the turtle!"

"Then what have you been researching these two days?" The owner of the pet shop gave him a blank look, and asked, "Why don't you tell me where that Blair is, and I'll ask him, what does his tortoise grow up on? Climb so fast..."

The scholar couldn't help kicking him and said angrily, "Get lost!"

...

Mathematics Association, Calvin stood in front of a table, and on the table in front of him was a slowly crawling turtle.

Two days passed, and he still couldn't figure out the turtle's problem.

Mathematics can explain how long it took Achilles to catch up to the tortoise, but math cannot explain how he caught up with the tortoise.

This is simply a problem that cannot be explained by mathematics.

Calvin was puzzled by the tortoise's question, but he was even more curious. What kind of weird ideas are filled in the young head of Mr. Blair?

Every question can cause a big earthquake. Is he really the devil sent by the gods to disturb the mathematics world?

Gal ran in from the outside in a hurry, and forgot to knock on the door. While leaning on the wall, he gasped and said, "Yes, Mr. President, Gaya's scholar group, they, they..."

Calvin looked at him and asked, "What happened to them?"

Gall yelled, "They're gone!"

Gaya's visiting scholar group quietly left Yapo City last night without even saying hello.

Calvin was not surprised by this, it was within his expectation.

Ever since Lord Blair released that terrifying tortoise, Gaya scholars have no way out. If they stay here, they will face the doubts of many scholars, and they will not be able to solve this problem at all.

Calvin felt that the only ones who could explain this problem were His Excellency Blair and Mr. Chen Luo.

At this moment, not only the Gaya scholar, but even Calvin himself was a little flustered.

He found that the power of this tortoise was much greater than he expected. Now not only mathematicians, but also people from all walks of life are asking him for the answer to this question.

When this problem spreads, the king's capital will inevitably ask him to give an explanation.

But how did he explain it?

Agitated, Calvin stood up abruptly and said, "Take the gold coins and go to Saint Donus College!"

...

The reputation of the Mathematics Association and Calvin is trustworthy. The day after the Gaya scholar left, Chen Luo saw the box full of shining gold coins.

With the lesson from last time, Chen Luo behaved this time.

The addition of one variant magic is just icing on the cake. He can't throw all these gold coins into the Magic Association, at least he should keep some of them to maintain his life.

Teacher Britney's salary is not high, and she can support her by herself.

Because Isabella spends too much money, her pocket money is restricted by her city lord father.

The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring. For Isabella's sake of taking care of him, Chen Luo can also take care of her for a while.

These gold coins are enough for the three of them to live the most luxurious life.

Of course, Teacher Britney usually lives frugally, and Chen Luo is not a big spender. In this case, the money can support them for a lifetime.

Calvin hesitated for a long time before looking at Chen Luo, and carefully asked, "Your Excellency Blair, what happened to that turtle?"

Chen Luo couldn't give Calvin an explanation for this question.

Strictly speaking, Zeno's paradox is not a mathematical problem.

Or rather, it's not exactly a math problem.

From a mathematical point of view, the answer to this question can be given, but its nature cannot be explained.

The mathematics level of God's Grace Continent is too low, and it is too early to give them the concept of limits.

Chen Luo also does not intend to explain it physically. Although quantum mechanics can explain Zeno's paradox, even quantum mechanics itself has some doubts about its authenticity.

What's more, even classical mechanics has not been established here, and most people will go crazy if they propose the concept of quantum mechanics now.

In history, many scientists committed suicide because of this incident.

He didn't give Calvin an answer, firstly because he couldn't give it, and secondly, it was for their own good.

So, Chen Luo looked at Calvin, shrugged helplessly, and said, "I don't know either..."

Calvin stared at him blankly, froze in place for a moment.

Asking questions without giving answers, what is this? Do devils always dig holes and never fill them?
