Is that kind of the same as the idea that if you are approaching a wall but each step is only 50% of the rest of the way to the wall, so you would never reach the wall no matter how close you got?

That's Zeno's paradox and is not the same, because the sum of that is finite.

Here each step takes longer than the one before it and the series does not converge, taking instead infinite time.

Ah, ok. I appreciate you distinguishing between the two for me.
