Physics incongruity
The article says that the two masses have opposite polarities, and the merging of them causes a repellent field which makes them expand. That makes no sense, because opposite polarities attract each other, they'd only repel each other if they had the same polarity. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:09, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Kishimoto-sensei did say once that physics wasn't his strongest point. --ShounenSuki (talk 21:28, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Would it be ok to add that mistake in a trivia section? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:30, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seven months, nine days, twenty-one hours, and twenty-one minutes. That has got to be a new record...
 * Mistakes like this one are perfect for the trivia section, I think. --ShounenSuki (talk 18:49, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've always meant to add this, but every time something else would come up and I kept postponing this. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:58, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Does the Databook say they have opposite polarities or opposing charges/fields? The definition on the page says opposite polarities, but I've read a translation that says opposing fields and the trivia entry mentions opposing charges. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 02:49, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * ShounenSuki's translation says opposing fields. My physics is a little rusty, but I think the fields are created by the charges. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:48, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I ask more for the difference between opposite and opposing. Opposing could mean that the charges or fields are the same and pushing against each other, like the jutsu ought to. Opposite leaves a smaller window for such an interpretation.Dragonus Nesha (talk) 06:05, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
