The Impossible Problem

A short Planck | Geo-verse

The question is, you are driving to a place, we won't name anywhere for now. You have fifty miles to go until you reach your destination. In one hour, you travel half the distance. In the second, you travel half the previous distance. Every hour to drive, you go half the previous distance. That means the first hour to go fifty miles, then twenty five, then twelve and a half, and so on. How many hours does it take to reach the destination? The answer is that you'll never make it, but not for the reason you'd think.

In the universe, nothing actually touches. I don' have the time to explain it, but just take my word for it. Anyway, there is something known as the Planck distance in the universe. It is the closest anything in the universe can be to another. Now, eventually if you half your distance every time, you'll reach this distance, then you'll half it. So, you'll never reach your destination not because you don't have enough time, or you'll never get there from gas or anything, you'd actually break logic, and the laws of physics.
