Zeno’s paradox? Similar to the problem of movement toward a threshold. You can always divide the distance needed in half. So if you go halfway, you can then go halfway again, then halfway again, ad infinitum. Thus you never reach the threshold.

Exactly. Unless the universe has infinite time, then the universe will end before the true singularity where time has stopped actually forms.
