It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?

    Not going to disagree with that, but you’re responding to somebody who obviously has no background in physics, and it strikes me as a reasonable balance between conceptual (“hand wavy”) and detailed enough.

      I used to run physics labs at uni so I’d hope I was as alright teacher still. Never made it as a real physicist though ;_;

        Well, it made me feel smart. So either you’re a good teacher, and helped me put into words and solidify something I already understood more abstractly. Or you’re a terrible teacher, and have led me further astray.

        Pretty rough dichotomy there. I would not want to be an educator.
