The story with Achilles and the turtle is one of Zeno's paradoxes, in which the point is that moving towards a point requires you to first travel always a half of the distance and thus can't reach the other end.
As Aristotle puts it Physics, "In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead."
It is obviously false, but Zeno held that movement was a logical impossibility
