I understand what a thought experiment is. It´s where you play out an experiment with your thoughts. I also understand that paradoxes are man-made impossibilities constructed through language/math, that is, impossibilities that only exist in language and math, not in the real world.

Now in the real world, Achilles, who is demigod, runs 14 miles in one hour. The tortoise, who had a 1 mile headstart, moved 300 yards. If anyone wanted to see the paradox being solved can watch Achilles pass the tortoise. If anyone wants a mathmatical solution they can just put actual speed and length on any point they wish to study and see there is no paradox. Doesn´t matter how small they make the unit, as long as it has an actual speed, x/meters/per second. x/millimeters/per millisecond, he will beat the tortoise no problem.

So this is a very long winded way of asking you, do you understand that Olbers paradox is not an actual argument against an infinite and eternal static universe? Even though it is presented as such. Do you understand that in the real world, there is no paradox in having infinite stars in an infinite universe and not having our sky being set on fire.
