Assume you have a cube made of indestructible material. You place a human body inside this cube, then perfectly fill the cube up with water and seal it. You load this package onto an airplane. Unfortunately, the airplane crashes. The cube is, of course, indestructible, so it survives the collision—but what happens to the human body inside the cube? Would it be any different if you placed a glass plate or a glass sphere inside the cube instead?

I still think imperfections COULD be present in the cube (therefore if it landed right, it could just shatter. ya never know... I break "unbreakable" plastic). Dunno, but that seems perfectly plausable... But dead bodies! XD -poke, poke- Err... This is like that contigency show... I liked finding plotholes... They're fun... Especially in super-smart type shows.
Wait, back to topic! The body would decompose (or... dissennigrate. I know that isn't spelled right). So it would be different from a glass plate. Damage from the impact wouldn't be different... But plates can't decompose like that. Uh, I talk too much. Nevermind. |
