You're going to have to explain why a finite series is necessary to solve a problem with no finite boundaries. You addressed the ant, but the. Umber of circumference expansions and the space it is expanding into aren't constrained. I suspect the answer involves some bastardization of the concept of infinity, particularly how it's used mathematically.
This is like the inverse of Zeno's Paradox. Something's amiss. I look forward to the answer. It had better not be that the elastic material is finite and that we'll eventually reach a point that the surface is so thin that the ant falls off.
