Here's the equation

Force of impact along knife blade
TIMES
Hardness of Cube
DIVIDE
by zero.

Well, since the material is "unbreakeale", not "uncuttable", I'd say yes. Plus, the knife can cut through "everything", but the metal can't "be not cut" (or something) by anything. So the knife wins.

That's easy - the force goes aroung the pbject. Simple.

As I believe has been mentioned in some form, the answer is no because the situation is itself impossible in the first place. If there is an unbreakable object, there cannot be an unstoppable weapon, and vice versa. Therefore, the two hypothetical objects will never meet because only one can exist. You can either have the cube to cut or the knife with which to cut, never both, so you can never cut the former with the latter.

To prevent the universe from exploding by this paradox, the box will turn on noclip so the knife will go right through the cube thinking it cut through it and the box will remain unbroken. You did say the box was made of a devine material right?

The knife cut's through everything so yes.

The cube is unbreakable, but that doesn't mean it cannot be cut through, take a cube made of goo for insatnce, you can cut through it, and it'll just "re-atatch" wherne the knife has passed through.

So the knife can cut through the cube without breaking it.

Also, unoriginal thread is unoriginal, like zombie threads

Oh, the classic "Unstoppable force" vs "Immovable object" discussion.

It simply can't happen, because in order for the unstoppable force to exist, the immovable object cannot, and vice versa.

Yes...but then the knife breaks and it turns out the old Kai is inside the block and now your power level is OVER 9000!

Absolutely.

Assuming the knife cuts through anything because you have Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

I was totally gonna say that. It's clearly the only correct answer.

Nobody will lever find out, but if they did it would rock, because the physics and laws of the universe would break.

The block is unbreakable. That doesn't mean it can't be cut. You just can't break it.

So yes, you CAN cut through it with a knife that cuts through everything.

neither an ubreakable material or all cutting knife is currently possible to create with human technology, when they are made this thread will become relevant, untill then you are just talking paradoxes for paradoxes sake, but fair play
