Refimprove date February 2010 Merge Omnipotence paradox Other versions of the paradox date June 2010 The Irresistible force paradox , also the unstoppable force paradox , is a classic paradox formulated as What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? This paradox is a form of the omnipotence paradox , but that paradox is most often discussed in the context of God s omnipotence Can God create a stone so heavy it cannot be lifted, not even by God Himself? . The immovable object and the irresistible force are both implicitly assumed to be indestructible, or else the question would have a trivial resolution it destroys it . Furthermore, it is assumed that they are two separate entities, since an irresistible force is implicitly an immovable object, and vice versa. The apparent paradox arises because it rests on two premises that there exist such things as irresistible forces and immovable objects which cannot both be true at once. If there exists an irresistible force, it follows logically that there cannot be any such thing as an immovable object, and vice versa. According to modern scientific understanding, no force is completely irresistible, and there are no immovable objects and cannot be any, as even a minuscule force will cause a slight acceleration on an object of any mass. An immovable object would have to have an inertia that was infinite, and therefore infinite mass. Such an object would collapse under its own gravity and create a Gravitational singularity singularity and a black hole . An unstoppable force would require infinite energy, which does not exist in a finite universe.

Eusebius Bruno of Angers died September 1, 1081 was bishop of Angers , France . ref CathEncy url http www.newadvent.org cathen 05616b.htm title Eusebius of Angers ref He first appears in the historical record as bishop of Angers at the synod of Rheims in 1049, and for a long time had been an adherent of Berengar of Tours Berengar s doctrine of the Lord s Supper. As such he was regarded by Berengar himself and by his opponents Dietwin of Liege Theodwin , Durand of Troarne , and Humbert of Mourmoutiers . But when he recognized the strength of the opposition, he favored a compromise at any rate he advised Berengar is 1054 to swear to the formula presented to him. Nevertheless Berengar considered him his friend many years later and requested him to silence a certain Galfrid Martini or to arrange a disputation. In his reply Eusebius not only regretted the whole controversy, but also stated that he would abide by the words of the Bible, according to which the bread and wine after the consecration become the body and blood of the Lord see transubstantiation if one asks how this can take place, the answer must be that it is not according to the order of nature but in accordance with the divine omnipotence at any rate one must be careful not to give offense to the plain Christian. The epistle is a downright renunciation of Berengar in case he should still maintain his view. In favor of the supposition that Eusebius changed his opinion from deference to the List of Counts and Dukes of Anjou Count of Anjou , the decided opponent of Berengar and his doctrine, it can be adduced that he did not defend Berengar against the hostilities of the court, and that for a long time he sided with this violent prince. It is also possible that the fact impressed itself upon Eusebius that the religious consciousness of the time more and more opposed Berengar. Our knowledge, however, is too fragmentary to pass a very accurate sentence. References Reflist Schaff Herzog DEFAULTSORT Angers, Eusebi ... more details

The Discourse on Metaphysics Discours de m taphysique , 1686 is a short 60 pages in translation book by Gottfried Leibniz in which he develops a philosophy concerning physical substance, motion and resistance of bodies, and God s role within the universe. It is divided into 37 chapters. His foundations for the work concern the conception of God as an absolutely perfect being I , that God is good but goodness exists independently of God a rejection of divine command theory II , and that God has created the world in an ordered and perfect fashion III VII . At the time of its writing Discourse made the controversial claim That the opinions of... scholasticism scholastic philosophers are not to be wholly despised XI . Early work in modern philosophy during 17th century philosophy the 17th century were based on a rejection of many of the precepts of medieval philosophy. Leibniz saw the failures of scholasticism merely as one of rigor. If some careful and meditative mind were to take the trouble to clarify and direct their thoughts in the manner of analytic geometers, he would find a great treasure of important truths, wholly demonstrable. Leibniz claimed that God s omnipotence was in no way impugned by the thought of evil, but was rather solidified. He endorsed the view that God chose the best of all possible worlds. In other words, Leibniz believed this world or reality to be the best there possibly could be taking all facts into account, no better world could be imagined, even if we believed that we could think of something more perfect.
