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?

The water doesn't move by itself, but, on impact, the body would sink down to a certain side; whichever side hit. The water would just allow the body to sink and take up the space left by the body when it moved.

The water would just allow the body to sink and take up the space left by the body when it moved. How exactly will that happen, though? The water has nowhere to move; it is not compressable; thus, there is no way for an object to "sink" into the water, because the water simply cannot move out of the way. |
