It is explicitly impossible to show a lack of something. Logic fault, and horrible failure of debate.

They would but I believe there's a point where it stops being relevant. It's been a long time since I had physics, though.

And hey, I was only driving for one of those, and even that one I was deemed legally not at fault by the police that came to make the report - I got cut off while trying to change lanes, and since there was fresh snow on the ground I slid instead of stopped. I was going 20 mph before I started braking, I was barely moving when I did actually hit the other car ๐Ÿ˜›


Curse ye game physics -o-

Still jinxed both cars. The police came for that tap?

Is what Im yapping on about, that a fast attack would make it stronger so say the laws of the universe~

Oh yeah there was a bomb down my road, viewing distance from my window. Damn police wouldn't let me get closer ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

You did not actually prove your point so I dont know why your trying to act like theres been any failure other than your own. You simply said its impossibel to show something, whats this based on? your saying that if in a game set on Earth you see people bouncing off walls randomly as if gravity does not excist but you would simply say theres no lack of gravity because the game did not actually state it?

I think thats the logic fault from you.

That would depend. Is the apparent lack of gravity the effect of a device, or a specific location, or some ability of those involved?

If it is a property of the entirety of the planet, and not the cause of some identified outside influence, logic dictates that the lack of gravity is a constant for this world.

Of course it would. How do people think The Flash hurts people? He has human strength or peak human strength I believe yet he can hurt people a lot stronger and more durable than him.

Yeah, still called to make a report. Figured that it'd be for the best to do so.

Seeing someone 'bounce off the walls as if there's no gravity' is an explicit display of there either being no gravity, or a lesser amount than is on earth. And even with that, it may not be universal for that setting. Don't be so obtuse.

What if none of those is answered? what if their bouncing around as if gravity did not excist and there was no answer within the fiction?

A 5ft tall man picks up a skyscraper on his head and stands there smiling...

Would you not for once question that perhaps certain boundries in the fiction were being pushed when physics were concerned?

๐Ÿ˜† but Peach! its impossibel to show a lack of something...the world actually has to say...

If no explicit explanation is given, then logically we are forced to conclude that it is a universal constant. People can bounce around because in this universe ("universe" being area, planet, realm, etc., the farthest logical point to extend the property in question) gravity is simply lesser.

It works in reverse, too. If nothing explicitly shows that a universal property is distinctly different from our Earthlike norm, we assume logically that it is similar.

Speed force plus increased mass, and such.

Do you just do random searches across the site for anything DC related?

Which is what I do, infact to a lesser degree because I say its a constant of one portion of a game rather than its "universal constant" which would counter most powers in said game as toonforce. Why are you trying to argue this if technically we agree?

Your kinda going back on your last point that something cant be shown so you were wrong.

F = ma, of course. Mass is a constant, force increases as acceleration increases.

Actually, as we're speaking of collision (the actual strike) it'd be impulse you're looking for, where I = FΔt, or the force over the interval of time the collision occurs.

Not so, you are clearly misunderstanding me. Showing people bouncing around is explicitly showing a difference in the game's physics, as I stated would be the case. To stop being hypothetical, normal people (the Carpenters in Kakariko) are shown to exhibit normal humanlike force, arrows arc in a relatively Earthlike fashion, water flows in an Earthlike manner. Hyrule the world shows universal physical laws that are Earthlike, therefore Link's feats of strength are not a universal property, they are an individual property.

The funny thing is toonforce is relevant only to BT.

And Sin Volvagia, who practically lives off of calling things toonforce, but he doesn't post here much anymore, so yeah. ๐Ÿ˜›

Damn, it's been ages since Sin annoyed me.

Yeah my question is similar to Wei's...

What brings you to this side of the board all of a sudden dude? lol.

What's the question, though? Acceleration increases force as long as mass does not decrease enough to negate it. Simple math.

I was referring to Wei asking how he found his particular Flash related comment. Usually Pr is in the comics section.

This is where you misunderstand it, if this one aspect of people bouncing off walls without gravity for example is enough to bend physics in your view (true) then clearly, Hyrule which shows something for example, Link doing something physically impossible obviously displays the specific area to not be of realistic physics.

Explain how something being individual or universal makes a difference when my point is that if somethings illogical/against physics its unviable to physics/accurate math to determine it?

Because if Property A is true to Object B, Property A is not necessarily true to Objects [B,C,...,Z]. It is a dicto simpliciter ad dictum secundum quid, a fallacy of accident or sweeping generalization.

Because Link shows a feat of strength, does not mean everyone in Hyrule can exhibit that same strength. Ergo, if it an individual property of Link, not a universal property, your "toonforce" claim is as invalid as it always has been, and Link is simply as strong as his feats demonstrate.

I never said this was true, I am simply saying its true in this singular case for Link. E.g. the whole universe is not necesserily against physics, but in this case Link is.
