Zeno, an ancient Greek and student of Parmenides, proposed paradoxes created to prove that motion was an illusion, including the story of Achilles and the turtle. In the story, Achilles can never catch a turtle in a race, since however long it takes Achilles to get to the turtle, the turtle has had time to move forward while Achilles has been moving toward the turtle's position.
