<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

The overall weight and general area aren't enough. A sword just sharpened and one used repeatedly are different. If the weight is the same but the shape and therefor the location of each gram makes a huge difference. Unless you just swing everything like a baseball bat no matter what it is, then the usable skill is reduced.

@The World

If you did the research on vectors you like to tout, you'd recognize that they can be stabilized on a plane to where the cancel each other out. It's easy to distribute weight equal to another object.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

The only way to do that is to have it equally sharp on the offensive side. That nulls the point.

@The World

Factoring it out is not the same as it being solved. But you can account for air resistance in your development.

Guys, lets just drop this.

No need to carry it on.

It's a discussion about physics.

It's a calm, level discussion about academics.

I guess so. My bad.

Don't worry about it.

They tried way too hard to be edgy and used the wrong form of the homophone "effect."

"On a plane." The location vectors matter in 4 dimensional space. The overall weight can be exactly the same, you might even be able to keep the air friction the same without it being sharp to reduce it, but where the weight is at, even if the overall is balanced exactly the same, matters. If you have a katana and a two-edged sword that have the same air resistance and the exact same weight, the differences in location of the weight will affect the usage. This is even before adding in the human element of using it.

@The World

Except plane physics apply in three and four dimensional space. Literally nothing changes, and the feeling will be the same.

Soul. Soul. Soul. Respond to Dark or show me where you did.

@DarkwolfX37

At work right now, I'll post sometime after ten.

how exactly did it consume him, did it just trap him in an area, or totally cover him from head to toe?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

To a normal person. I established that at the start.

@The World

What are you talking about?

@souleaterfan320

Like a wave.

@The World

I can agree to the fact that they're used differently. My point is solely that they will feel the same and behave the same way in your hands.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

If shinji used his sword all his life like I suspect, then he'd notice even if you or I wouldn't, and that would affect him physically, with an unnoticeable change from his muscle memory, and it would affect him mentally, both due to noticing the change, and from lack of familiarity/trust.

To try an example, think of your keyboard being suddenly replaced with one that has the F and J ridges removed and new ones on [, x, /, and 5. It would change your efficiency, even though it's "the same". And with a weapon, especially in real combat, those things are pronounced because you are in serious danger if you make an even 0.00000001% less than perfect action/reaction (in combat) or a simple mistake just due to the nature of weapons. Maybe the physical aspect is only 0.000000000000000000001% different in the weapon and 0.0000000001% different in the user's body, but .0000000010000000000001% plus the multiple mental differences can reach 0.00000001% very quickly and very easily.

And this is all assuming that you can match the mass perfectly even in a new shape, AND remove the air resistance difference from both the different shapes and from the blunt vs sharp.

We can go physics all day, and you'll probably win on it because you're more motivated to seek out the info you need to, and we can go psychology all day, and I'll probably win on it because I'm more motivated in most context, but unlike the psych and similar situations in history, the physics are hypothetical at best at this time, and I will contest your math working the way you say when translated to 4d indefinitely.

Is that a satisfactory "What are you talking about?"

Sorry, mindset currently similar to how Left was. Part of me thinks and hopes it's an "echo" of sorts, but that's off topic.

@The World

Again, that was never my point to begin with.

I don't use the ridges, so I doubt it would change anything.

Skip.

I'm not using confirmation bias. I'm simply arguing that they'd behave the same way, proven in physics. If you want to discuss it psychologically, I agree with you. You don't fight the same way.

I suppose.

They'll probably come back.
