What would happen if a guy who has a sword that can cut through every material fought a guy wearing indestructible armor?
One of them gets a refund
>>47077135Depends on theguy
Random coincidences would ensure the sword-guy never struck the armor-guy's armor.
>>47077135
They realize that they'd make the ultimate tag team. No force in heaven or hell would be able to stop them from cutting and blocking their way to the top.
>>47077135
Just like the Immovable Object/Unstoppable Force problem, the existence of one invalidates the existence of the other. If the sword can cut the armor, the armor was never indestructable. If the sword can't cut the armor, the sword could never have been able to cut through every material.
tl;dr - The sword marks lethal damage on the armor, but the armor is not destroyed and is not put in the graveyard.

The armor isn't made out of material, it's a localized forcefield.
Where is your paradox now, Anon?
The sword cuts through the armour, but the armour is still completely unharmed after the strike.
Guy inside, less so
>>47077135
By definition, the armor cannot be destroyed by anything - sword included. Any other case would violate that basic quality of indestructibility, which is defined in the scenario.
Therefore, the armor is either not made of anything which can be considered a 'material', and therefore the sword cannot cut through it, or the armor can be cut through without itself being destroyed.
>>47077210
But the outcome of the immovable/unstoppable thing is perfectly simple. The unstoppable one stops, becoming immovable, and the immovable one moves, becoming unstoppable.
>>47077135
When an irresistible force such as you,
Meets an old immovable object like me,
You can bet just as sure as you live,
Somethin's gotta give, somethin's gotta give, somethin's gotta give.
When an irrepressible smile such as yours,
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine,
Don't say no because I insist,
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna get kissed.
>>47077210
>Just like the Immovable Object/Unstoppable Force problem, the existence of one invalidates the existence of the other.
Not strictly true. The unstoppable force may rebound with no loss of energy, which would technically satisfy its definition.
Or, if you want to bring bullshit physics into play, it could be argued that a perfect sword meeting against perfect armor would leave nowhere for the energy of the strike to go but directly into the atomic structure of the blade, increasing its excitement to the point that it exhibits quantum tunneling on a macro scale and simply passes through the armor entirely without interacting with it.

That actually invalidates BOTH of the presuppositions. Neither one can be unstoppable nor unmovable in this scenario.

The sword would cut through the armor but the armor would remain undamaged.

The man with the sword cuts through the air, sucking the man in the armor into a vaccume sufficating him.
Or he cuts through an atom. The explosion vaporizes him, but the concussive force liquifys the man in armor.

Nah, but he killed the merchant he bought the spear off and then buried the shield that will cannot be pierced in the bottom of an abandoned quarry.

the armor is indestructible so it's fine, the guy wearing it....probably not?
Sword that cut through every material could be like a brilliant energy weapon bypassng inorganic material, leaving the armor untouched.

Well you said the sword can cut though every 'material' - if the indestructible armour is made from something immaterial then the armour wins.
Like you could attack my armour of Christian faith with a sword which cut cut through every material, but my armour of faith will remain none the less.

While fairly lewd, Asakura does not wish to be lewd in public, thus the napkin. The dildo beneath is because she wants to try getting DP'd, but would never dream of being with a man other than Kyon, so she wants him to force it into one hole while he's ramming her from the other.
>>47077135
Are we treating the 'cutting ability' of the the sword and the 'indestructibility' of the armor as infinite values or very large numbers?
>>47077958
>He's never heard of a glancing blow
>>47077135
science assumes the two would phase through each other.
>>47077958
Untrue, we can just take the impulse to be 0. By definition, since the force would be infinite, the rebound time would be 0.
Or the unstoppable force would just move through the immovable object
Depends on the setting. IRL nothing is indestructible, and nothing can destroy every material without receiving some form of damage. Thus the armor would be rended into scrap while the blade losses its edge and becomes a metal stick.
>>47078435
There is a difference between rebound and deflection.
In a rebound, all kinetic energy in the moving object is converted into potential energy as either it or the target deform, then the deformation reverses and converts back into kinetic energy, now propelled in the opposite direction. If both objects are sufficiently hard (will not deform), then the energy will be released by causing the weaker of the two will shatter.
If the force is insufficient to shatter either object, such as if both objects are presumed to be perfectly hard and indestructible, then the impacting object will fall dead to the ground, having perfectly transfered its energy to the struck object, which will then either begin moving along the same course with equal energy or, if secured in place, perfectly transfer that energy to whatever else is in contact with it, potentially in the form of a shockwave. If no medium of exchange exists, such as if this interaction occurred in a vacuum between free-floating objects (one of which is inexplicably and impossibly fixed in place), then the energy will be released as light and heat.
>>47077135
The armor is cut but is not destroyed.
>>47078485
>IRL nothing is indestructible
no shit snowflake do you spam Warhammer threads saying there are no psykers IRL as well?
>>47078581
despite anon's wordswordswords, this is actually important, because what it basically means is the poor fucker holding the sword, and the poor fucker wearing the armor, are both about to have a bad bad day.
The sword and armor will likely come out fine, though.
>>47077135
Even if the armor is "indestructible" it could still quite possibly deform when hit sufficiently hard, and said deformation might be too brief for onlookers to even notice.
If the armor CAN'T deform when hit then likely a lot of the impact is channeled into the wearer of the armor.
>>47078353
Gotta say, that does seem like a completely reasonable thing to try to convey at a public restaurant.
>>47077210
>Just like the Immovable Object/Unstoppable
Force problem
Its not really a problem. An Immovable Object could still have its surroundings moved. An Unstoppable Force could deflect in a different direction, possibly an only slightly different direction, and redirection is not "stopping" it.
Likewise armor that is indestructible vs a blade that can cut through indestructible armor does not imply that the blade that CAN cut through it WILL always do so. It could very well be that the sword can cut it, but only to a limited degree when hit just right, and it deforms back into place.
What you really want is a blade with an indestructible edge. Meanwhile, indestructible armor doesn't help the wearer much, what you really care about is armor that deflects and disperses force well.
I mean quite potentially indestructible armor won't necessarily protect the wearer from being turned to paste.
in the case of the immovable object and the indestructible armor what you want is an object that disperses force when hit and armor that disperses or absorbs force per hit.

All that matters is that the conservation of unstoppability and immovability is upheld.
>>47077135
The sword passes through the armor cutting the person wearing it, while the armor remains unblemished.
>>47077135
Playing by the rules that each can actually exist:
If I had to guess, a sword that could cut through anything monofilimented or some shit, so it could be so thin that the two passed through each other.
It would do no damage to the person wearing it, because it would be so thin it might as well not exist.

Infinite Values. But more over, they are the same 'potency' of infinty. AND in this case, Cuttiness is inversely represented by indestructability.

If they're both magically enchanted objects then the armor won't be destroyed because it isn't the material that is indestructible it's the spell.

Both items would be destroyed.
Probably the two guys as well in the cross-fire.

The indestructible armor is cut through without being destroyed.

as a member of my local fetish community, I will say that far less reasonable things have been conveyed with more success in public restaurants.
especially when we get together for "munches" for a fine example.
>Unstoppable force vs immovable object thread
I'll just tell you what would happen. The guy with the "cut through anything" sword tries to stab the guy in the indestructible armor since stabbing is more likely to pierce armor. Since stabbing is different than cutting the sword's "cut anything" effect does not
Activate and the armor is fin, then the armored guy proceeds to unload a M60 clip into the sword dude.
>>47085702
Probably this. They will negate each other.
Other option is simply universe doing everything to make sword-armor contact never happen.
>>47087506
Would a guy who's sword cuts through anything really bother with stabbing? It cuts through anything, so just cut the armor and it'll be fine.
Adding assumptions to a word puzzle is a sign of autism, by the way.
>>47077135
destruction is not the same as just being cut. the armor is mostly fine. the guy in the armor gets fucked.

I think this was the starting-plot of Dungeon Siege 2 (or was it 3?). A less-than-stellar game that I nevertheless played the shit out of because Dungeon Siege 1 was bouncy-tits-on-the-knob awesome.
If I recall correctly, the opening credits have legendary bad guy with unstoppable sword meet legendary good guy with indestructible shield and they clash.
The moment the former dashes against the latter, both get shattered into MacGuffin parts that enterprising heroes or villains can go hunting for. Also all of the gods, wizards, demigods, divine entities, kings, ghosts, and half-liches that were in any way involved in the creation or possession of both items get melted in paradox fire, the world gets completely fucked like it's a Dark Souls prequel, like a billion people die because of global warming or an ice age or meteors or superplague or something like that, monstrous races decide it's party time, magic becomes unbound from those who'd kept a lid on it (so everyone can use it now) and, like, dragons n' shit.
Anyway, if I remember right, you (the player) start off as some sort of conscript in the service of some evil baller who's managed to reassemble (most of) the swordy bit and he's hired you and your ragtag band of fuckwits to collect him the pieces of the shield because he's too busy swanning about on his spooky black tower waiting for adventurers to show up and deliver him high-level loot from all across the land.
They will be forever lock into a conflict until either one of them grows tired
