This damn quote is driving me crazy

Regardless, you're not debating semantics and getting off the topic off the actual QUESTION, you're, just like I said before, debating the QUESTION, not actually answering it. Cop-out.

I'm demonstrating that the question is meaningless. If you don't like it, enjoy the tits then GTFO.

The immovable object is not necasarily indestructable, so the unmovable object get's chattered or destroyed.

I would assume if it is immovable that it cannot be destroyed considering that it's destruction requires it's movement in some form or fashion. Immovable, by definition, would apply down to the very atomic nature, which would probably be frozen making for the ultimate wall.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irresistible_force_paradox

Quote:

The paradox should be understood as an exercise in logic, not as the postulation of a possible reality. According to modern scientific understanding, no force is completely irresistible, and there are no immovable objects and cannot be any, as even a minuscule force will cause a slight acceleration on an object of any mass. An immovable object would have to have an inertia that was infinite, and therefore infinite mass. Such an object would collapse under its own gravity and create a singularity. An unstoppable force would require infinite energy, which does not exist in a finite universe.

This is the reasoning for "This is an impossible question" that Lucky is looking for.

Lucky, you're right, good for you. Do you want to actually answer the question now?

And please stop telling me to GTFO. I've been here for 6 years, you spouting overdone 'witticisms' isn't going to make me leave now. Have a little class.

I will when you tell me what colour the four-sided triangle should be. Show your working!

Couldn't the unstoppable force simply end up hitting the immovable object and then ramp off of it? =/ Just because it can't be stopped doesn't mean it can't change direction.

The existence of either invalidates the exist of... the other one.

The situation is voided by definition.

I know I know, I'm not here to argue if it could happen, becasuse it couldn't. This is -hypothetical-. for arguement's sake we'll say they are both drawing their energy from a seperate but equally infinite energy source.

what the ****

Well, I actually don't see why it can't just diffuse.

A four sided triangle should be black, as black is all colours.

I get plenty, thanks though? razz

Entirely possible, but wouldn't that mean it'd no longer be an object and merely a diffused cloud of unstoppable particles?

It does, actually. This is because of frames-of-reference - in a frame-of-reference where the unstoppable force has a velocity of zero after the change of direction, it will have a non-zero velocity before the change of direction, hence it will have been stopped (it's velocity will have gone to zero).

Well, it would lose it's original identity if you think of it that way, though I am not sure that is necessarily integral to the question at hand. Essentially the immovable object would be some space-time anomaly where particles are sitting still, the infinite amount of energy at the forefront of the object would then provide enough force to keep the energy from stagnating in the field, but at the same time the solidification of the particles would prevent further entry since they themselves cannot be excited by mandate of the quandry.

I'm hungry.

Explain why the molecules of the force cannot maintain a constant motion? via occupying other locations once connecting with the immovable object which are not occupied BY the object.

Black absorbs all spectrums of light. White reflects it all. Durp.

Is it impossible for you to post without an overdone smarmy comment afterwards? =/

[Repellant]

Simple, really. It passes through, on the atomic or sub-atomic level.

No, white is. Black is the absorbtion of all colors, and therefore all at the same time.
