One of those omnipotent paradoxes would be the answer for that.
Can a Omnipotent being create a stone so heavy he cannot lift it?
Can he make himself more powerful?
Ect.
Well if a "truly omnipotent" being could make a stone so heavy he could not lift it, this means the being was not truly omnipotent.
If the being could not make a stone that heavy, then he didn't carry out the given task due to lack of ability..... Which also means this being wasn't truly omnipotent.
It's a paradox for sure, but it also makes you question the concept of "true" omnipotence.
Again, this is where Einstein's little quote "With logic you can go from A to B, but with imagination you can go everywhere." comes in.
With fantasy you can make, and even surpass omnipotence.
All we know is that other beings have been refered to as omnipotent.
And those have been refered to as supreme of all Marvel and DC, so if they arent omnipotent then no one in Marvel or DC is.
In the comic world, I might be able to see some stupid shit like that being published, especially by Marvel.... (they seem to be more into the whole "greater levels of infinity" BS).
But using real logic, nothing can be greater than infinity, and nothing can have greater than omnipotent power.
You take Fighter A from Earth, strongest most unbeatable fighter to ever live, has beaten hundreds of people at the same time, just plain impossible to defeat.
He's essentially unbeatable because no one anyone knows about can defeat him. Unbeatable, just like Omnipotent, is a relative term that is based on context.
Now bring Fighter B from Mars, strongest and most unbeatable fighter to ever live, has beaten hundreds of people at the same time, just plain impossible to defeat.
He's essentially unbeatable because no one anyone knows about can defeat him. Unbeatable, just like omnipotent, is a relative term that is based on context.
Put Fighter A and Fighter B in a cage together, and either one is going to be better or they'll fight each other to a stalemate.
Of course you agree. I'm right. Omnipotent means limitless power. If something has yet to have shown a limit, than as far as perception is concerned, it's limitless. If I've lifted every set of weights you've ever asked me to lift without showing any strain, then as far as you know there is no limit to my strength. Is it actually limitless? No, but as far as you're perception is concerned it is. Just like the 'omnipotent' beings in comics, we have no way to truly know if they are omnipotent, we have just been told and lead to believe they are.
not sure if this has already been mentioned, but infinity doesn't necessarily equal infinity. there are strata of infinity. say you start out with one hundred dollars; your friend start's out with ninety. you are each given one dollar a day for infinite days. you will always have ten more dollars, even though you both have infinity monies. ja know?
