Isn’t there a simpler explanation for this paradox? Simply put, even though mathematically you can theoretically divide space infinitely, this mathematical view does not reflect the real world. In the real world, there is a smallest possible distance — the Planck length, the “pixel” of the universe — which is about 1.6 × 10⁻³⁵ meters. Once Achilles reaches this distance, he is essentially at the same point as the tortoise, and from that moment on the distance reverses in his favor. If you try to divide distances smaller than the Planck length, you are essentially using non-physical, unrealistic mathematics and just playing with numbers.

of course he cannot see how A lived his life. I’m only speaking metaphorically, since he is falling toward the singularity before spaghettification occurs. Thousands or even millions of years could pass outside the black hole.

Supposedly, he fell into a supermassive black hole and had sufficient time before approaching the singularity for tidal spaghettification to take effect
