[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9318545, member: 4937"] There are two interpretations. One is just that objects can now slide past each other without creating heat and energy loss. So basically, nothing that isn't chemically bonded to something else interacts with it. It's now impossible to move anything in a controlled way. All of the world is just collisions. Objects pretty much always stay in motion because the only losses of momentum are heat loses through internal deformation, and those are generally tiny compared to the force's objects experience. But you have to question why objects could slide past each other without creating heat and energy loss. Friction is often very much about the fact that it takes force to lift out valleys and break bits at a microscopic level. It's a very physical force. That it goes away and that it no longer takes force doesn't make sense unless you do away with chemical bonds entirely. So, one interpretation is that to get rid of friction, you have to get rid of chemical bonds by setting the Electromagnetic Force constant to 0, and that means everything just disintegrates into an amorphous gravitationally bound soup. All bodies, all buildings, and all landforms just collapse like they were made of water and flow across the surface like a fluid. [/QUOTE]
