    The "pass through each other" has for a long time been my go-to explanation for this one. Nice to see other people also thought about that solution.

    • @whatisahandlebruh
      @whatisahandlebruh 4 роки тому +59

      Well, my solution was that one becomes an unstoppable force and the other becomes an immovable object.

    • @Woo.f32
      @Woo.f32 2 роки тому +23

      Both wrong it will slip around the object and be shifted over in what ever direction it slipped when contact was made. It was explained by a renowned theoretical physicist.

    • @pineappleudh6561
      @pineappleudh6561 2 роки тому +97

      I like this because realistically there is no way they could touch, even slipping around doesn't work because that implies that the unstoppable force was forced to move around, which implies that the immovable object is stronger.
      Meanwhile if they pass through eachother then both remain true, the object wasn't moved, the force wasn't stopped, the only question is how they pass through eachother.

      Or in a different reference frame we could consider this as happening all the time. The two objects just need to not interact with the same forces. For example, gluons only interact with the strong force while W and Z bosons only interact with the weak force. To each of these, the other type is an immovable object that it can not change the momentum of, because it can not interact with it. Thus they effectively pass through each other as if the other wasn't there.

    I think space itself would expand to accommodate. They would likely appear to us as if the one moving from our frame of reference would slow down as it approaches the one that is stationary from our perspective. They would still be traveling through space at the same speed, but space itself would expand. I’m no mathematician so this is just a guess based on things that happen already in our universe with near infinite potential for time such as black holes and how they say you would appear to an inertial observer as if you slow down as you approach the black hole event horizon infinitely until you are just simply redshifted out of view. Any mathematicians to weigh in on my answer? I’m really interested to know if the principals of infinite time dilation also apply to infinite inertia.

      I don't think that's how that would work because these phenomena are the result of the extremely strong gravitational field of a black hole, which is not present in the scenario of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

    In my mind, I always thought they would disintegrate each other when they collided. The immovable object stays where it is while the incoming force disappears until both cease to exist, essentially canceling each other.

    • @Tayakani
      @Tayakani Рік тому +1

      Yes! Although rather than disintegrate I think the infinite mass molecules/rigid pieces that hit eachother would freeze in time. At the moment of impact: Infinite mass->infinite negative acc/infinite speed->momentum won't allow->"speed of time" becomes infinitely small (m/s stays the same but a second will take infinitely long to pass). therefore effectively vanishing/disintegrating for the outside observer because it will never reach the next second in space-time even though its momentum stays exactly the same. In turn making the space availiable in the next moment in time for the next molecules/pieces to hit eachother and freeze in time etc.. until they both are completely frozen in time and gone for the outside observer, assuming they hit center and are mirror equals of eachother. Otherwise possibly letting the bigger infinite mass (what's left of it) to progress trough time and continue on with its momentum. Or pieces of both that didn't cross eachother.

    • @jac4026
      @jac4026 9 років тому

      Daniel Muriungi Well most of the questions posed are quite hypothetical. They're in the title more to open a discussion and get you thinking about things in general. In the video "Guns in Space" by Vsauce, people expect him to be talking about how guns work in space, space warfare, etc. But he doesn't. He actually starts talking about ways in which you could kill our sun, one of which being to pour a solar mass-worth of water on it. There is nowhere near that much water to be found in the observable universe and even if there was, how would anyone or anything be able to transport it to our sun?
      Guns in space are touched on, some physics behind how bullets would act in space are explained, but guns really aren't the focus of the video, even though "Gun" is one of the three words in the title.
      And as always, thanks for reading. 8)

    I imagined when I was younger that an immovable object would stop in space, but seeing as everything moves around it, would appear to be moving. It would act like a wall in ocean currents, no matter its size.
    Meanwhile an unstoppable object would mean it could never stop moving and could continuously increase its energy and speed up while never reaching zero. Which would have it moving with you in space and able to increase its potential energy from its conception.
    So I looked at an immovable object as a universal scale object unaffected by relative, while unstoppable is determined by initial relative factors until it either surpasses relative or falls beneath it to reach a similar, but never the same energy loss as an immovable.
    A pin in space time versus an object surfing its waves.
    But I suppose that doesn't make a lot of sense. An unstoppable object can mean it never loses energy or speed as well.
    Anyway, That's my ramble.

    It depends how you define the "unstoppable" in 'unstoppable force'.
    Unstoppable can mean the force exist forever, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the point where the force is exerted is always moving. So the force can meet the immovable object and keep exerting a force, hence being "unstoppable" yes as long as the immovable object exerts an equal and opposite force, due to friction for example, it won't move...
    So my answer is: we don't have enough information.

      Theo Starodubov Yes it does, this question isn't a lawful question because nothing in our universe has infinite energy which is required to make an object unstoppable.
      So it becomes a logic question, thus, if two objects that are theoretically unstoppable they would pass through each other because that's the only interaction that continues to obey their law of "unstoppable". They wouldn't be destroyed because then they're not unstoppable and they wouldn't stop because then again they're not unstoppable.
      So the answer to this question is the only logical one.

      depends on the implementation. first you have to define what you mean by 'never dies' and 'one-shots'. if 'one-shots' just means 'deals enough damage to kill anything' or 'sets their HP to zero', all you have to do is disable the HP component. if 'one-shots' means "sets the target's 'life' state to 'dead'" then you need just remove the 'life' component entirely, so the entity which 'never dies' could never be 'alive' nor 'dead' in the first place. Thus, you'd have one entity that can never be killed (because the notion of it being alive or dead is nonsensical to begin with) and another entity that always one-shots his enemies (by either setting their HP to zero, dealing stupidly high damage, or setting their 'life' state to 'dead'), and when they met, neither would win -- either the shooter's gun would have no effect, or it wouldn't be able to target the enemy in the first place -- the target becomes invalid.

Likewise, if there was a truly unstoppable force, there could not be such a thing as an immovable object, because every object would be moved by the Unstoppable Force.

      Objects exert force and thus collide by emitting virtual photos. In the case of two objects of infinite mass, the virtual photos would have no effect on the objects and they could continue merrily through one another. As objects are generally made of atoms, which have a lot of space in and between, we wouldn't even have to have singularities necessarily.

      Depends on if the two objects are perfect cubes or not. If they form a cavity where they collide, then it compresses matter into a black hole. if not, it gets squeezed out. If it's a perfect cube, then some of it escapes while some gets stuck and build potential energy for some nanoseconds, and then gets shot out at great speeds as burning plasma because of the compression and the friction. Basically, a little bit of fusion.

    The difficulty with this problem is that we pretty much have to make assumptions about the nature of the immovable object and unstoppable force. In this video, we're assuming that they have these properties because their mass is infinite. Could it be the opposite too? I'm kind of thinking of a sort of massless photon-like particle that can't be absorbed or reflected but that just passes through everything.
    So treating these objects like photons (where one is our intertial frame of reference), they'd interfere with each other (as waves do) but there would be no real collision. I guess the answer's the same, though - they pass through each other.

The unstoppable force in this argument then is the expansion of the universe whether that be do to an unknown force on the outside causing the black hole we know as the universe to expand such as more matter being added or an internal force often theorized as dark matter. So in my theory these two forces interacting just causes the volume of the mass to expand.

    You get close to this concept in neutron stars.
    The surface of a neutron star is so hard and dense that it makes a diamond look like the vacuum of outer space in comparison. It's so dense that a spoonful of it on Earth would weight loads of metric tons. You can only imagine how hard this material is, given its density. It's so hard that it's impossible to even imagine. Thus the surface of a neutron star is _almost_ an immovable object.
    On the other hand we have the gravity on the surface of a neutron star. The gravity is so strong that it quite visibly bends light. Any object, or even particle, near the surface will be slammed by gravity onto the surface so hard that it will break into its constituent subatomic particles and fuse into neutrons. While this is of course not "infinite" force, it's so many orders of magnitude stronger than anything we know that it's difficult to even visualize.
    Where these two things come into play is when a rotating neutron star slows down due to loss of energy.
    Neutron stars typically rotate very fast (even thousands of revolutions per second). This speed of rotation is so fast, in fact, that neutron stars are not spherical but spheroids. They are just so slightly squeezed so that their equatorial diameter is slightly larger than their polar diameter.
    When the rotation of a neutron star slows down over millions of years, the gravity will start acting more and more strongly on the surface, pushing it to become more spherical. But as said, the star is so incredibly dense that almost no amount of force would be able to do that.
    When the star slows down enough, however, gravity becomes too strong for the surface to withstand, and it gives way, even if so slightly. What happens here is that the entire star rearranges in a slightly more spherical shape in a tiny fraction of a second. Because of the forces involved, and the size of the star, and the speed at which this happens, this event is so energetic that it sends an enormous flash of energy to outer space. The event is called a "starquake".

    • @DjVortex-w
      @DjVortex-w 10 років тому +1

      Brendan Risney
      You have to be more specific about what you mean by "size of a black hole".
      Usually what's meant by that expression is the size of the event horizon. However, the event horizon is not the surface of any actual object; it's just a region of spacetime with some peculiar characteristics. However, there's no matter at or even inside the the event horizon. It's just empty space.
      The "density" of a black hole is often calculated as the average density of everything inside the event horizon (because from the outside it makes no practical difference). However, that doesn't mean there's any region within the event horizon that has that particular density. It's all just empty space (weirdly curved space, but empty nevertheless).
      Since it's just empty space, you can't really talk about an "immovable object" when talking about the "surface" of the black hole (because the "surface" is just empty space; it's not an object at all).
      The singularity at the center of the black hole is a different beast in itself. General relativity predicts that it has infinite density, but nobody is sure how it really goes (especially since GR doesn't take possible quantum effects into consideration).
      And btw, there most probably are no pea-sized black holes. (If there are, they would most probably be primordial black holes. However, for black holes of that size to exist it would require for the Hawking radiation hypothesis to be false. Else they would just blow up rather rapidly.)

    • @brendanrisney2449
      @brendanrisney2449 10 років тому

      WarpRulez I know what an event horizon is, I've studied black holes for about 7 years now. And I was talking about the event horizon, what else would I mean? The accretion disk? (I think that's how you spell it, lol)
      And infinite density would mean that everything in the universe would have to be in the black hole's singularity. That is obviously not true, as you and I exist.
      And I know there aren't any pea sized black holes. That was just an example. As you said, they would have to be from when the universe just started. But are you sure about the exploding thing? It would have to be very unstable, like it just absorbed a huge amount of matter and spat it back out, destroying itself.

    My idea for this is a little bit different.
    It would create a kugelblitz due to the infinite energy of the force transferring into an infinitely small reference point, in this case the unacceleratable object. The object would reflect the force in an imaginary number, thereby violating basic laws of physics and creating said reference point. If 2 of the objects were barreling into each other, they would crumple up into an infinitely dense sheet, a sheet singularity, if you will. This sheet will then collapse into a singularity because you can't make a sheet singularity for obvious reasons.

    • @daviddow3705

      That is certainly an interesting idea.

Therefore, it is not possible to apply the concept of a singularity to this.

    While I quite like the idea that “the magic system” works this way-it is probably not scientist-accurate to say this is “the only possibility.” Some more possibilities include:
    1. Time slows to an exponentially slower and slower crawl the closer the two objects get to each other, so that they never reach each other.
    2. Space tears in such a way that they have to pass by each other having somehow bent their trajectories. (And maybe more clearly the unstoppable force is made to move slightly to pass by and not impact or intersect with the immovable object.)
    3. Some kind of portals form, causing one or both objects to teleport to a different location (a variant of the above).
    4. The objects meld together and combine their properties to create some kind of third object with a super-property that somehow solves this as a paradox.
    6. In a more gnarly scenario, the universe ends so that the paradox is not achieved. Lights out. Or, slightly more hopefully…
    5. Both objects annihilate each other in what could be (A) a blinding release of energy so bright and powerful that it illuminates and perhaps damages most if not all of the universe, or (B) a kind of negative energy anti-spike, releasing a vacuum of power so great, most of the energy, if not all, of the universe is drawn (or “sucked”) into it.
    Perhaps either of these scenarios would be great enough to create a new universe and, in a symbolically satisfying way, might be THE way -how universes form.
    7. Speaking of which, perhaps there are (at least) two new universes spawned at the moment of contact (by the same mechanisms that-supposedly-time travel can create alternate realities?) which represent the diametrically opposed outcomes possible-the immovable moves, the unstoppable stops-perhaps more realities occur too: the objects pass through each other, some or all of the contingencies on this list occur, etc.
    8. A compromise occurs, where part of the immovable object moves, and becomes part of the unstoppable force, and part of the unstoppable force object is stopped, thus becoming part of the immovable object…
    9. Both objects disintegrate and are no more.
    10. Both objects lose their properties and become “un-magical,” returning to the state of normal matter…
    11. A time-paradox occurs where objects, items and even characters are sent back in time to prevent this from happening in the first place… thus stopping the question from ever being physically posed…
    12. Perhaps the outcome of this is so problematic or inherently impossible that-in a variant of 7, or the original video’s pass-through solution-it is revealed that this problem could never be actually be set up, and there were always two universes-one belonging to (and perhaps anchored to / centered on) the Immovable Object, and the other one belonging to (and perhaps anchored to / centered on) the Unstoppable Force. These two universes would have been enmeshed in complete unity with the appearance of being one. The enactment of this paradox, forces the illusion of oneness to be dissolved, and the truth about their being two universe to be revealed, with both universes going out of phase with each other-half the objects in our known reality (living in the universe of the immovable object) being able to pass through the other half of the objects (living in the universe of the unstoppable force) in our known reality. We:they could still perceive each other but not be able to interact-families and lovers would be separated-not able to touch ever again-as it would be revealed that the two objects, immovable and unstoppable, never really inhabited the same universe, the same cosmic reality, to begin with… it was all an interconnected illusion to make it appear so until we forced the hand of God.
    13. In a similar way, both in terms of revealing the premises as originally impossible, and in veering a little bit more towards storytelling and fiction and away from pure physics, perhaps: all those perceiving the immovable object and the unstoppable force wake up… and realize it was all a dream: of course this scenario is impossible-how could it ever be otherwise?
    14. As the objects begin to get close to touching, their size begins to collapse-and one or both of the objects-gets smaller and smaller, shrinking at such a rate that as they approach, they can never actually touch, so that they keep getting infinitesimally smaller, in a way that their surfaces can never collide or make contact…
    15. In a variant of this, and perhaps also of 2, (or even a space-time variant of 1,) the universe continuously generates “new” space between the two objects, stretching out the distance that must be travelled prior to impact, so that they never actually reach each other.
    16. One* or both objects distort their shapes so they “do the limbo” and pass by each other without touching. *If the immovable object changing its shape counts as it “moving,” then probably the unstoppable force can do the distorting to avoid it. (This one was easy, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier.)
    17. Their super-ordinate “magical” properties are exchanged, and the unstoppable force becomes the immovable object, and the immovable object becomes the unstoppable force. Cosmic mantles (or identities) remain undefiled, and the perseverance and transfer of properties is sufficient from preventing a true conundrum from occuring. Perhaps the true object-ness is embodied in the transferable properties, rather than in the objects themselves, and so we’d see the moving object stop and become immutably fixed in space, and the stationary object move, becoming an unbeatable juggernaut of motion…
    18. In a variant of the above, one or both of the objects transfer their superordinate “-ness” properties laterally to another one or two objects who, now not on a collision course, take on these powers. (A superhero [or superhero/villain duo?] is born?)
    19. All objects in the universe become massless, weightless objects, with the requirement that they absolutely and fully pass through each other… including these unstoppable/immovable two… so everyone and everything can only pass through each other now… as a by-product of the videos Zeroth pass-through solution…
    20. The light from the collision event is constrained by the paradox, and cannot emerge: and thus, in the absence of an observer, the outcome takes on a Schrödinger’s cat uncertainty situation: such that we must know that: (A) the unstoppable force has both crushed the immovable object on its way through and (B) the immovable object has infinitely resisted the unstoppable force, pancaking the incoming object against its implacable surface, indisputably. As the observability of the outcome is forever barred to all outside observers, we must eternally live in a universe where both states have come to be.
    21. In order for this to not be a conundrum at all, new dimensions of space and time are either created or revealed through, by and in which, there is no paradox after all.
    The writer in me couldn’t resist tackling this…
    Just some food for thought!
