Every material object has a degree of elasticity before it breaks, tears, etc. The balloon example was spot on. If you were to watch the two balloons in slow motion then you will clearly see a small frame where the balloons are been held back from touching each other without even stopping the trucks whatsoever.That's his point though, which is valid.
My point is something totally different though.
My point is that in fiction, a person can lift a pencil and make a universe go left without exerting more than 1 pound of force. Comics reference each other. In another comic, it was explicitly stated to prevent the incursion is to prevent the planets from touching. Aliens were able to do that with random tech.
👆 he tried to wriggle out of it by blaming elasticity, but EVERYTHING would deform with some degree of elasticity - watch golf balls being hit ok slow motion ,for example.
In short, he knows he has no point. My sentence is just as valid as Hyperion's - I held the balloons apart, until they broke.
Doesn't mean I stopped two trucks in their tracks. It's an amazing DURABILITY feat for me, sure, because I walked away from two trucks colliding, but not a strength feat.
