Someone help me with this, what am I missing in this question.
There are 2 people A and B starting at the same point such that the distance travelled by A is twice the distance travelled by B at all times. Now when you see, at all times when you observe it you will find that A is always ahead of B by half the distance traversed by A or as much distance covered by B. Now, if you see in order for A to have gotten ahead of B, at every instant of observation, it must get ahead of B at some point during the journey, but no matter how miniscule the time of observation may you choose, you will never find an instance where you will find the A crossing B, except the very first instance? From what I can understand in order for A to overtake B at every instant it should be able to cross B at every instant of observation and not just at t=0(the initial instant, right? Is this the right assumption and should I be confused about it? Also, is my assumption wrong that for A to get ahead of B it needs to do so at every instant past t=0? Is this assumption necessary or not, I mean should this condition always hold true?
"I acknowledge the potential for confusion in this scenario. Initially, at t=0, both A and B have traveled 0 distance. This makes it both true and untrue that, at any instant, A has traveled twice as far as B. Technically, A has an advantage of 2 * 0 = 0. While this seems to suggest a twofold difference, the reality is that twice 0 equals 0, meaning both have covered the same distance. This apparent contradiction highlights the importance of delving into mathematics to grasp these concepts and cultivate structured thinking.
As time advances, A consistently maintains a distance twice that of B. At any given point t, A has covered d(2t), and B has covered d(t). The discrepancy between them remains constant at 2t - t = t.
In the broader context of covering distance, a fundamental understanding of the principle of matter formation and the transmission of energy through empty space becomes crucial.
Do you believe my explanation adequately addresses your question?"

@Erik Villarreal, I am so grateful to you for addressing that the notion of covering or traversing distances by what we perceive as matter does indeed require the fundamental understanding of the principle of matter formation and the transmission of energy through empty space. I had been thinking exactly this the entire time in order to justify the problem but then I thought to myself what a foolish thing to think to justify your doubt. Thank you for clarifying my doubt. Also, could you please guide me or mention the relevant material that I should look at to understand this better?

With this knowledge, I believe you can glimpse that apparently, the information that reaches us from what we perceive with our senses is the probabilistic transformation of that which gives continuity to the matrix where the information of everything that exists is stored. Wait for my article, I promise to publish it as soon as possible, perhaps in 2024.
