The Impossible

[Diuretic]

It's a fine subject for metaphysical speculation but probably not science.

Actually because of force, the immovable object would then become the unstoppable force and the unstoppable force would then become the immovable object.

Wow. I never thought of it that way. Thats a good theory. But because of Newton's third law of motion, is that even possible? Wouldn't the unstoppable force have some sort of force asserted against it?

Well, what if the unstoppable force is a liquid or gas? Then it could go around the immovable object.

Thats probably the only possbile situation in which scientist could actually test that theory.

It's fascinating to reflect on things that are impossible.

Something coming from nothing, is impossible.

Perpetual motion machines are impossible.

A beginning to time is impossible.

Time travel is impossible.

We can learn a lot about the nature of the universe, when we reflect on things that are impossible.

. i mean time is only "time" because we make it that way. we only create seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, decades, centuries, etc. to suit the needs of the human mind to have a structured life style. .

We call a real phenomenon "time." And we create ways of describing and measuring it. It's like anything else. You could say the same thing about "weight" or "mass." You could say the same thing about "length" or "area" or "volume" or "depth."

If an immovable object is struck by an unstoppable force...wat happens?

Nothing, because the two can not exist in the same demension at the same time.
