Impossible Conditions

What would happen if an irresist-

question is that it presupposes
impossible conditions, the two
terms being mutually exclusive.
You cannot conceive of force
that is irresistible being stopped

force. AS the existence of the
two conditions at the same time is
impossible, it is also impossible to
say what would happen if they did
exist.
