Title: Irresistible force & immovable object
Post by: DoctorBeaver on 08/06/2007 14:46:41

Irresistible force was my ex-wife doing the cleaning & immovable object is me at the bar while the pub's open  [:D]

But seriously, folks - could such things really exist?

The first one: black hole's gravitational force inside its own event horizon.
The second one: doesn't exist because of the existence of the first...

Depends what you mean by irresistable. It is supposedly possible to orbit a black hole inside the event horizon, indefinitely. Does this count as resistance?
