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?
