And then the universe exploded.

Good evening Escapists. I was wondering what some of your favorite paradoxes, or ones that make you ponder for hours are. Mine would have to be the age old question of: What happens when the unstoppable force hits the unmoveable object? If anyone has answers post them, just be careful if you decide to test your theory because I'd rather the universe stay around for awhile.

The unstoppable force would bounce of the unmovable object. Alot like INTERGALATIC PINBALL!

I like, if god is omnipotent can he create an object so heavy even he can't lift it?
If he can't then he can't to everything.
If he can, then its something he can't do.

the paradoxataur. It only exists if you believe that it doesn't exist. Even by merely mentioning it's name you acknowledge it's existence.

There's no such thing as an unstoppable force or an immovable object so the question is kinda redundant

But for the sake of argument

F=ma

unstoppable force - F = infinity
immovable object - m = infinity

infinity = infinity*a
a=infinity/infinity
a=1

(i'm aware this is mathematically daft but it's too late for me to care)

If you went back in time and killed your parents before you were born, you would obviously never be born, so how would you go back in time and kill your parents?

Eh. The grandfather one is better.

I like the one where there's a portal to you a few seconds later and you shoot yourself.

...What happens when the unstoppable force hits the unmoveable object?...

Duuuuuh. The unstoppable force just changes directions. It's all there in the universal manual to everything.

If he can't then he can't to everything.

It could be argued that the thing you are asking of god is a paradox in itself, as no object could ever be too heavy. It's like asking him to make a circular triangle - it's just an impossibility.

The sentence, I always lie, I never tell the truth, thank you Ghost In The Shell for that little gem, I'll be using that happily during the robot uprising.

Won't happen. Kinetic reflections (bounces) work on a parabola, so anything bouncing must stop moving for an instant. The only solution is that neither can exist in the same dimension.

My favorite logic bomb is the concept of division by zero. My personal idea is that anyone who successfully divides by zero sees God.

Also, Schroedinger's Cat is fun to work with. My best guess is that when you open the box, the cat is a zombie.

the force quantum tunnels through the object. the end.

 

[Furious Styles]

it's just an impossibility.

If he can do anything nothing is impossible, even a circular triangle.
If he can't make something so heavy he can't life it because such a thing is an impossible paradox, he still can't do it so isn't omnipotent.

0^0 = 1

Wait. What have I done?

 

[lacktheknack]

it's just an impossibility.

If he can do anything nothing is impossible, even a circular triangle.
If he can't make something so heavy he can't life it because such a thing is an impossible paradox, he still can't do it so isn't omnipotent.

Sending the "God is omnipotent" idea all the way through can result in this little gem: He can create an unliftable object that he can lift in a solution our minds cannot conceive of.

If a tree falls in the woods and it hits a mime, does it make sense?
