The idea being - say you move your fingers closer together. They start off a certain distance apart. They then get half the distance, then three quarters, then four fifths, etc. With the law of diminishing returns the fraction will get smaller and smaller and smaller - but even when they are 999999999/1000000000ths of the way there, they still wouldn't be touching. Surely the fraction just gets smaller, but the fingers never actually get there? How does anyone ever touch anything? Come to mention it, how does anything ever happen?
