What is Reddit's opinion of Moving Heavy Things?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Moving Heavy Things by Jan Adkins

"The almost forgotten craft of shifting large weights with brains instead of engines. Beginning with practical rules for moving like Get the Ming vase out of the Room. All the way out, and What goes up comes down heavier. This is a fascinating description of applied physics in the real world. If you move engine blocks, concrete mooring sinkers, or nothing heavier than this book from table to lap, you'll enjoy the encouraging narrative and the precise drawings. Not everyone moves coffins with marbles or sheet steel with baseballs, but you might very well find an idea to help you move Uncle Harry's monstrous bathtub out of the basement, or a reluctant oak stump out of the yard."

Lots of blocking, plus hydraulic jacks. Moving Heavy Things by Jan Adkins is a great illustrated primer from WoodenBoat.

Just keep in mind: if the boat is heavy enough to crush you, you'll want someone with you on the job who's done it before.

So in other words, you are adding a forth law of logic because it is convenient for your argument?

Sadly that isn't the way it works.

The laws of physics are just that: the laws of physics. They are also laws that you cannot violate, but they are completely independent of the laws of logic.

So for example, could easily make an object so heavy that he cannot lift it. This is not a contradiction for him, because he does not claim to be able to lift any weight. He is just limited by the amount of force he is able to assert on an object. This is a physical limit, not a logical one.

So he could easily make a 500lb concrete block that he (almost certainly) could not lift. But that statement necessarily comes with several asterisks. *without a forklift. *without a crane. *without a lever. *without a pulley. *without a weight-training regimen. Add any of those tools or techniques or any of a number of other tools and what was previously impossible is suddenly possible. He is now able to assert more force on the object.

That isn't the case for something that is logically impossible. Neither god nor /u/ZappSmithBrannigan can make a married bachelor or a square circle. One of them cannot create a block so heavy he can't lift. No amount of tools or techniques can change these limits. They are in a completely different class of "impossible" from mere physical impossibilities.

It is frustrating how many atheists fail to grasp this. This is really logic 101.

If you like that video, you'll love this book.

Meanwhile, the video in this post is ridiculous. Waaaay more complicated than it needs to be and ahistorical to boot.
