If you could walk through walls, wouldn't you FALL through the floor?

[WaldoMcFroog]

Since the ability to walk through walls would require the person to be non-corporeal, there is no reason to suggest that any natural forces should necessarily apply to the body, and gravity might well be ignored.

But if all natrual forces are to be ignored then you would not be able to walk. (see Newtons 1st Law). Hamish

[WaldoMcFroog]

Hamish - fair point, but I meant that since the body would have to be acting outside of the normal laws of science to begin with, how can we assume that any of them are applicable. Perhaps the body phases itself with the molecules in the walls, aligning the gaps so it could pass though. I *was* be silly. No offence to timidwiner, but I love answering facetious questions as though they're serious. Much funnier than the original hack comedy email questions are in the first place, IMO.

Its a hypothetical question so therefore any hypothetical answer could apply

This question reminds me of the old chestnut: A man spent the whole of his life inventing a substance that would disolve anything. Then when he eventually cracked it .. wondered what to put it in!

If we are talking ghosts here, they supposedly exist in their own time and therefore walk at the level of ground they inhabited and the environment. Hence, why ghosts often don't have feet and can move through the solid matter. Ghosts have been known to walk down non-existent stairs that existed in their time or through doors that used to exist.

Okay, how would skeletons walk about in e.g. "Jason & the Argonauts" if they've got no muscles?
