A question I need answered.

First of all.

Lets make sure it is known that you can cut 1 in half, then in half again, then in half again infinity times, no?

Second of all.

Lets make sure it is known that you can walk half way to something, then half way again, then half way again, infinity times. You would just end up going miiiccrrooo fractions of length.

So here is the question:

If I drop a bouncy ball. How does it hit the ground and come back up?

If I drop it from 3 feet high




It will drop to 1.5 feet


then .75 feet

then .375 feet and so on.

So how does the ball ever reach 0 (the table) and bounce back up!?

When does the denominator of 1/infinity ever break infinity and go to zero!?
