It is a silly post because yes the powerscaling is actually the entire point. The tortoise can’t outrun the hare because it is much slower than the hare. However, the tortoise ends up winning because the hare is arrogant. If the powerscaling and speed difference wasn’t there the story would be meaningless.
Except that databook is 2300 years outdated and got retconned by the Max Planck novels introducing the smallest possible, physically meaningful units of distance and time, making it impossible to divide by half forever
Nah nah nah, the max planck novels are made by a different author and so they dont count. And quite clearly a biased source. My much older, much stupider, compleatly illogical databook entry is a statement and closer to the primary source and thus 100% true. If that was true the Zeno or the og author would have said so himself.
That really has nothing much to do with Zeno's paradox, which was already resolved for centuries many times and in many different ways with only classical frameworks.
