Wouldn't infinity divided by infinity equal to one , just as pi
divided by pi. And if irresistible force met an immovable object it
would lead to a kind of chemical change. Leading to something as
immaculate as the big bang.
Now one last. This is another one they answered when
I was in university, or answered indirectly anyway,
since they gave us all the bits and pieces of the
puzzle. Why are planets round instead of square,
hexagonal, or whatever?
I may not be able to explain it in mathematical terms but wouldn't a
planet be a sphere just as a clam develops a pearl? A pearl formed
around a grain of sand or other foreign matter. So the sun could
produce polar density (like a shell) leading cosmic dust or some kind
of matter to ball up keeping it round from magnetic polarities.
