The Infinite Series 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + · · · - Visual Demonstration

The Infinite Series 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + · · ·
In mathematics, the infinite series 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + · · · is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely.
There are many different expressions that can be shown to be equivalent to the problem, such as the form: 2^(−1) + 2^(−2) + 2^(−3) + ...
This series was used as a representation of many of Zeno's paradoxes, one of which, Achilles and the Tortoise, is shown here. In the paradox, The warrior Achilles was to race against a tortoise. Achilles could run at 10 m/s, while the tortoise only 5. The tortoise, with a 10 meter advantage, Zeno argued, would win. The Achilles would have to move 10 meters to catch up to the tortoise, but by then, the tortoise would already have moved another five meters. Achilles would then have to move 5 meters, where the tortoise would move 2.5 meters, and so on Zeno argued that the tortoise would always remain ahead of Achilles.

There's a significant mistake, as in the provocative Ramanujan's demonstration (1+2+3+..... infinite = -1/12): integer numbers properties are valid only for a finite value of n.

Cool visual demo BUT wish you hadn't shown the answer prior to the demo.
