In the Aristotle's Wheel Paradox, a large wheel has a smaller, fixed concentric circle inside it, and the whole structure rolls along a surface without slipping. At first glance, we expect the larger and smaller circles to trace different distances, since they have different circumferences. But surprisingly, both appear to cover the same ground, which feels like a contradiction. To visualize what is going on, think of it as the smaller wheel moving much slower than the larger wheel. So for the s

Aristotle's Paradox states that a wheel is depicted in two-dimensional space as two circles. Its larger, outer circle is tangential to a horizontal surface (e.g. a road that it rolls on), while the smaller, inner one has the same center and is rigidly affixed to the larger. Assuming the larger circle rolls without slipping (or skidding) for one full revolution, the distances moved by both circles' circumferences are the same. The distance travelled by the larger circle is equal to its circumfere
