Well they have made it clear there are things lightsabers can't cut through, aka vibroblades. It all depends on if you adamantium is better than a vibroblade. Of course it the end they are both fake but still something fun to think about.

Well considering that a lightsaber blade is essentially superheated plasma and that adamantium's only weakness is heat, then yes I believe it could.

Lightsabers doesn't exist, silly, and neither does adamantium.

As for the hypothetical question, I have no idea. Don't know the specific properties of either subject, so any statement I give would ultimately go without any data.

While that is indeed pretty neat, it's still not a lightsaber. It's a portable laser.

Go fencing with that one, and everything around you in a radius of whatever its reach is would be on fire.

Sorry for being pedantic.

No, it would just heat it until it is the same temperature as the beam. Adamantium doesn't melt, therefore a lightsaber can't cut it.
However, it's not as though the lightsabre can only cut through things that melt. It's cut through many things that didn't melt, like solid bone.
*sigh* Lightsabers "cut" things by rapidly melting them. Like a plasma-torch, there is no actual blade... Phisics Fail.
heheh Phisics Fail is a Physics Fail!

OT: Yeah oh course it can, it's a freakin' lightsaber!!

Are you claiming that I fail at physics, or the movies? Because if you're very sure that's how lightsabres work (and yes that IS how you spell 'sabre'), then that still doesn't make sense because they can cut through non-melting, heat-resistant things when according to that theory, they shouldn't be able to.

Well a Lightsaber can't cut through Phrik alloy according to canon. That's all I know.
Well that stops my counter question of "Perhaps it can but can a lightsaber cut through Phrik?"

Thanks for clearing that one up! :)

Warhammer 40,000 Fanyboy disapproves of this thread >.>

According to my knowledge (and this page), I'd like to think that it can't. After all, adamantium can not be broken.

*One google search later

According to the Marvel Directory, hardened Adamantium (not liquid form) can not be moulded even if the temperature is high enough to keep it in it's liquidized form.

So I quote "Adamantium is created through the mixing of certain chemical resins whose composition is a United States government secret. For eight minutes after the resins are mixed, the Adamantium can be molded into a particular shape as long as it is kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. After this brief period the process of creating Adamantium is completed. The extremely stable molecular structure of the Adamantium prevents it from being molded further, even if the temperature remains high enough to keep it in liquefied form. Only a device celled a Molecular Rearranger can alter the form of hardened Adamantium."

Isn't that just bad writing(irony :p), though. Aslo "sabre/saber" can be spelled either way.

I'm more interested in whether a lightsaber could cut through polycarbite...
Answer to this: Probably, but not the Dalek forcefield...

OT: First, tell me what the hell a light saber's composition is.

FOR THE THIRD TIME.. *punches browser in the spleen*

no...

adamantium = superconductor

lightsaber = energy blade

energy + superconductor = energy won't build up

energy not build up = no heat

no heat = no cutting

no cutting = well you get the idea

Lightsabers can cut through vibroblades, only things with a cortosis weave are immune to lightsabers. Read the item description next time.

otherwise, yoda could still kick wolverines ass.

Well considering how long it took Qui-Gon to cut through that door in Phantom Menance. I'd say it would probably take awhile.

I'm not trying to argue with anybody about this but based on the FICTION that I read.The way a light saber cuts through objects isn't because its burning through it but because the beam separates molecules.

So I guess it could eventually cut through anything.

Depends on what Adamantium we are talking about. Marvel comics, Wolverine's bones Adamantium? No, that one is literally indestructible. Adamantium from Warhammer 40k? Yeah, but it would take a long while.

I've heard about this before. Doesn't it mean Qui-Gon had a faulty lightsaber or something?

I'm going to go the opposite way of most here and say no. Technically maybe if you go at it long enough it can slowly cut through, but for all intents and purposes this question is asking could Wolverine fight against a lightsaber armed Jedi/Sith. And if it's a live Wolverine you're trying to cut through, cutting 'slowly' isn't going to cut it. Now who would win between Wolverine and a Jedi/Sith I have no idea.

I would have to assume it would cut it like butter. I mean Adimantium is a metal we ""supposedly"" created during this modern era. One would have to assume by the time we have colonized the galaxies the metals we use would be infinitely stronger, and I think lightsabers are said to cut through most of those metals. It would be like a plasma cutter on raw copper or lead.

You do know that Adamantium doesn't actually exist right?
