Gabe Bixler Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 what happens when the unstoppable force meets the unmovable object? Quote
Queso Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 well....is there even an unstoppable force in the universe? Gravity, maybe? What is the unmovable object?Everything is in motion...can not everything move? Quote
arkain101 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I think it would end up as two infinites meeting.. 0 + 0 = 0 Quote

Gabe Bixler Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Posted February 24, 2006 I think it would end up as two infinites meeting.. 0 + 0 = 0in your equation do the zeroes represent nothing, and if so, is nothingness ever a possibility? Quote
InfiniteNow Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 in your equation do the zeroes represent nothing, and if so, is nothingness ever a possibility?You might consider reading some Jean-Paul Sartre... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sartre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_and_Nothingness Quote
TheBigDog Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Relativity would tell us that each thing sees itself as an immovable object (at rest), and all other things as unstoppable forces (in motion). And since relativity would also tell us that nothing is at rest, the collision is always between two unstoppable forces. Bill Quote

What is the unmovable object?Everything is in motion...can not everything move?orbsycli raised perhaps the clearest point on this question thus far... What's the point of debating it since 1) there is no such thing as an unstoppable force (of which we are aware) and 2) there is no such thing as an unmovable object (of which we are aware).... Quote
TheFaithfulStone Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I'm going to hijack this thread for the purpose of asking what this really is? What is physics greatest unsolved mystery? My vote goes for "What is the relationship between the four fources?" Followed closely by "Where did I put those pesky gravitons?" TFS [whoops, I said "hijack", now I'm on an FBI watchlist] [again] Quote
infamous Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 My vote goes for "What is the relationship between the four fources?" I must agree with you Faithful, these relationships, when fully understood will answer many questions. Quote
TheBigDog Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 At the risk of suffering Stockholm Syndrome, I will become hostage to the hijacking. The greatest mystery to me is that entangled particles have demonstrated causality in excess of the speed of light. Bill Quote
InfiniteNow Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 The greatest physics question is the one which has not yet been asked but which drives us forward. Quote

arkain101 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 come to think of it.... Seems like you end up with a black hole... Quote
