TITLE: Aristotle wheel paradox
QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Please, can someone explain to me in detail the working of Aristotle wheel paradox? I find it amazing and I am thinking on my own of its working. Could someone shed some light here and enlighten me?

REPLY [1 votes]: It is not a paradox at all. The missing part of the puzzle is that the smaller wheel's center of rotation is moving at a rate set by the rotation of the larger wheel; if the smaller wheel were in close contact with the ground while this were taking place, you could see that it would be skidding along the ground and not rolling without slippage.
