Impossible!!

Papa asked us two impossible questions yesterday at suppertime.

What happens when an unstoppable object crashes on an impassable wall?

And,

A man has just invented a total dissolvent, but he has a problem... Where does he keep it?

question no. 1: antimatter is formed... or a sort of black hole that will suck all the universe into it... better not try the experiment.

question no. 2: he keeps it in a sort of tokomak.

:-P Tell me whether I'm right or not.

Being phisolophical, are we? :P The answer is that it is totally impossible to have an "unstoppable object" at the same time as an "impassable wall"; while there is an unstoppable object there cannot be an impassable wall and viceversa. So the real answer is: no columpiations, menda!

Question namber chu: what may a tokomak be, if I may be as bold as to dare to ask?

well, since we're all so highly sofisticatically used to using blogs and webs and all these sort of thingamajigs, why don't you look it up in the INTERNET?? :-P

Beware... it is a highly interesting object, the tokomak... it might lure you to delve further into quantum physics, nuclear fusion energy, and whatnot.

Ok, ok... I'll tell you, Wendy of the Winds... It's a sort of circular hollow donut, but rather larger, and it is used to store the plasma that has been heated up to a mind-boggling temperature using nuclear fusion energy, and the only thing that can contain it in place (without been melted or sublimated) is a series of magnetic fields that surround it. Interesting. It reminds me of Yoko Tsuno.

I've just re-read my answer, and, well, actually, the plasma is not heated BY the nuclear fusion, it is actually the nuclear fusion taking place. Sorry. To many things cluttered up in a small skull. Nyeee-hehehe.

AHH! You must mean a TOKAMAK!!!

Ahh… ok… NOW I know what you're talking about!

Hmm… A tokAmak… Yes, yes…

ExCUSE me, but you can also find it written as tokOmak...although not as much as tokAmak, I must admit... and anyway, if not, are you the only person who doesn't commit typos once in a while?? xD

Yes.

Okay, I am the owner of this blog, and I have to ask you a favour... STOP arguing with comments!! They are here to say something nice about the post... NOT to discuss how "tokomak" is written (or tokamak, I beg pardon) ;D

My most humble apologies, oh blogmaster... uh, blogmistress. ;-)

Notwithstanding, I would feel honoured that someone would find my blog so interesting as to look at it every day and actually have extensive debates about the topics you post.

By the way, it can be either, tokomak or tokamak. Heeehheeheeeheee. Sorry. :P

PAH!

I wish there was somebody interested enough in my blog so as to argue about it. All I get is comments about how inadequate (either too chewy or not chewy enough) my posts are.

Okay, don't get me wrong... I love to have a post that says "11 comments" (now they'll be 12).
And WHO in the world may ANONYMUS be, if I may ask??

Poor Wendy! I shall have a word with anonymous and let him have a piece of my mind. Shame. Although I wouldn't say that all you get is negative feedback... I've seen nice comments too ;-)

Gem, anonymous is anonymous. If not, he wouldn't be anonymous.

:P
