What would happen if an irresistable force (i.e. a cannonball that cannot be stopped by anything) met an immovable object (i.e. a wall that cannot be moved by anything)?
Explain in detail please.
__________
In any hypothetical reality in which an irresistable force exists, immovable objects can not exist, and vice versa.

Now that's if my physics is still up to par :D

Can I just say that in any hypothetical reality in which an irresistable force exists, immovable objects can not exist, and vice versa?Quote:

Those two forces you speak of cannot coexist. If something is immovable, then nothing can draw it, hence the ball would not be irresitable. If the ball was truly irresitable, then the wall would not be unmovable.
So the final answer. Nothing would happen, cause the events leading to the situation could never be created.

That's it, of course, for 3.
Shadow pulled up to the 'Shady Sports and Leisure', where he was greeted by a distressed Sid Shady.
"It was my brother-in-law, I know it! I was bending over the counter doing paper work when I looked up and saw a guy with a stocking over his face aiming a cross-bow at my chest. When he told me to raise my hands and turn around I didn't argue.
While I'm facing the wall I heard him open my till and clean me out of over 5000 pounds! When I turned around he was gone. The thing that gave him away was his tee-shirt. I know it 'cause on the back of the shirt is a picture of a whiskey bottle and it reads 'Sam Sham's Tennessee Whiskey'. I gave him that shirt. Imagine how stupid he has to be to rob me of all people, and then to wear that shirt! I'll need you to fill out a complete report for my insurance company," said Shady.
Shadow replied, "I think I'm going to charge you with fraud."
Why?

Shady's story has a rather large hole in it. He claims he saw the picture and the writing on the back of Sam's Tee-shirt but by his own admission he never saw the back of Sam.
He should never have seen the back of the shirt, given the description of events.Quote:
