应该是“棰”。
棰：木制的棍棒
万世：很长很长时间，其实就是永远的意思
竭：完，用光
这句话的意思是：一尺长的棍棒，每日截取它的一半，永远截不完。
这句话来自《庄子》，讲述了一些对“道术”思想的看法。“一尺之锤，日取其半，万世不竭”这句话说明了事物可以无限分割的思想。我觉得就是数学中极限（limit）的思想
- Simplified Chinese (China)
捶是木棍。尺是长度计量单位，中国不同朝代代表长短不同，区间在十几到几十厘米间。这句话的意思是，一尺长度的木棍，每天砍一半，第二天再砍（所剩）一半的一半，这样永远不会结束。是一种哲学思想，你可以理解为数学中的极限。即A- B两点间距离1米。Day 1取AB中点为C，Day2取AC中点为D，依次延续，永远都能有中点。

you know Zeno's paradox? It's similar to that. 这句话出自《庄子·杂篇》，也是一种无限可分的思想
