Aristotle's wheel paradox

• If you roll a rigid wheel a distance of its circumference, each inner circle must also go that same distance

wait..but how?
Resolution:

• Consider the 2 points 𝐵 & 𝑆 (big/small)
• Each travels 2πR horizontally (R=rad. of B)
• 𝑆's Cycloid path is *shorter* than 𝐵's

⇒ The closer 𝑆 is to the center, the shorter and more direct the path

∴ 𝑆 goes 2πR horizontally b.c it takes a shorter path
I noticed after the fact that the main gif is somewhat misleading

So I plotted the cycloids along the wheel, which makes the resolution to the paradox much easier to see.
