If man were somehow able to build something truly indestructible (Invincible, or Can't-Get-Hurt) before extinction what problems would arise? Could building something organic with a mind of its own that is invincible cause the extinction of man by killing us all, with us not being able to defend ourselves? If we were to fly away to another suitable planet is it possible that the matter would be able to devise his own way of space travel? We wouldn't be able to get too far away because traveling at light speed has never been proven possible. Of course, in the future we may devise a way to travel that fast, but it isn't likely. I bring this up because AI and Super Soldiers have been floating around the news lately.

It would be impossible to make something "Indestructible", even the most powerful could get destroyed by a bit of dark matter if we where that desperate.

But in reality, if it was only one we could easily subdue it and put it in a form of "Tarterus", either by the less technologically advanced way of putting it in a cell of some kind that it is incapable of passing, such as a strong box, deep underground, or in a place like a black hole. The second, more advanced way would be to destroy it's mind, either by EMP assaults, virus, or nerve gas. Drugging living things indefinitely would also work. One object is pretty much no mach for an entire race, if we create it.

We can go far in the galaxy by living centuries in space ships. Or we could use other space-time travellings alternatives. And creating something indestructible is impossible

It would cause a paradox, and in the universe, paradoxes aren't reality.

I think I could find a way to make something indestructible. What if (WHAT IF) we were able to utilize dark matter energies to create something that eliminates everything within a distance? Of course, being able to handle dark matter is impossible, because it eliminates absolutely everything positive it touches. Besides, in the future we may be able to create something that regenerates lost limbs instantly with the testing of stem cells and stuff.

Then it would also be eliminated. They pretty much cancel each other out. And, even then, the ground would not be capable of holding it and it would just fall threw everything.

Besides, in the future we may be able to create something that regenerates lost limbs instantly with the testing of stem cells and stuff.


Then there is still viruses, explosives, radiation, and a thousand other killers. A nuclear bomb would take care of it, not to mention what we could come up with in the future.

The universe if finite. Nothing can be infinite in a finite universe.

An infinitely powerful or durable matter is impossible to create.

wait I thought that dark matter was the matter that doesn't affect other matter but provides the gravity to keep a galaxy together. Don't you mean anti-matter. That's the stuff that releases all its energy if it touches other matter. And if we can make something indestructible we can make 2 things that are indestructible but influence the seconds mind so it will always listen to us. And we could make 2 and beat the other one.

it would have to change energy into matter (which is possible according to laws of conservation of energy/matter) so good luck making something like that

People have been seeming to neglect my idea on extremely fast regeneration... ^^

Extremely fast generation makes an object very powerful, but it isn't indestructible.

Yeah, I was tired last night and got my terminology thrown into a black hole. What I had meant was "Anti-matter".

Don't you mean anti-matter


Yep

And if we can make something indestructible we can make 2 things that are indestructible but influence the seconds mind so it will always listen to us. And we could make 2 and beat the other one.


If we could do that, then why did we have the problem in the first place?

Like I said. Nuke the mofo. No more problem. Give it a disease that prevents regeneration, probably synthetic. Throw it into a black hole. There are millions of ways that this could be destroyed.

It appears that my comments that basically disprove the fact that an indestructible object is impossible to make, so I can only assume that this thread will go on forever.

thats not indestructible then. it just rebuilds itself after it is destroyed.
