Summary An ant is placed on one end of a rubber rope and he begins walking at about 5cm per second. As he's walking, the rope gets stretched... and stretched... at a rate of 10cm per second. The rope is getting stretched faster and longer relative to the ant's consistent walking pace. Can the ant ever get to the end of the rope? Is he caught in an endless, impossible trek in which the end keeps getting further and further away? This classic paradox has very real implications to how we understand our position in a rapidly-expanding universe.
