= Mechanical paradox
{wiki=Mechanical_paradox}
The term "mechanical paradox" can refer to several different concepts in physics and philosophy, but one significant context is within the realm of classical mechanics. One famous example of a mechanical paradox is **Zeno's paradoxes**, which include scenarios that challenge our understanding of motion and infinity. In one of Zeno's paradoxes, Achilles and the tortoise race, Achilles gives the tortoise a head start.
