maybe most of us know one very notable fallacy .one fast runner compete with one turtle ,the runner can run faster than the turtle ,so the starting line for the turtle is one hundred meters ahead the ruuner's ,the the match begin .when the runner reach the starting line of the turtle ,he find the turtle is some way ahead ,but he is approaching it .then interesting things happen ,no matter how hard the runner try ,he always find the turtle is ahead of him .the reasoning procession seemed faultless .but anyone can teel it is a fallacy .why do we think it right if we follow the reasoning process .
our minds can do have endless power to think .we can treat one definite procession as one infinite procession .the runner can catch up with and overtake the turtle ,and the time is a definite one .but when we analyze the procession ,we can divide it into infinite segment ,and we almost forget the real time ,and what happened during several seconds become a endless procession .
the fallacy may help us to understand time ,minds ,and relationship between reality and thoughts .when we dwell on thinking some problems ,never forget that the real time is flying by .everyone live both in minds and in reality ,how to allocate them maybe make a difference .
