Could We Recreate Gojo's Infinity in Real Life?
This is one I've been thinking about for 3 months now
If you've seen Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, you already know about his absolutely cracked cursed techniqueāInfinity.
It basically ensures that nothing can ever truly touch him. Heās untouchable.
So naturally, as part of my random thoughts, I started wondering:
Could something like Infinity exist in real life? (without cursed energy, obviously)
What Even Is Infinity?
Gojo's Infinity is essentially a technique where he creates an infinite amount of space between himself and anything approaching him.
So instead of something hitting him, it just:
- slows down
- slows down more
- and basically never reaches him
I wonāt lieāthat would be insane in real life.
Imagine:
- bullets canāt touch you
- nothing can physically reach you
- youāre basically living in The Matrix
So I started thinking⦠how could we even begin to replicate something like this?
My Initial Idea: Electromagnets
At first glance, it almost feels possible.
Electromagnets can create invisible fields that push and pull objects without touching them. Thatās already kind of similar to what Gojo doesāstopping things before they reach him.
We already use this in real life:
- Maglev trains float using magnetic fields
- MRI machines generate insanely strong magnetic forces
- Scientists can even trap tiny particles using electromagnetic fields
So the idea of āstopping something before it touches youā isnāt completely crazy.
However, There Are Some Issues...
The problem is scale⦠and physics doesnāt like cheating.
1. Magnetic Fields Donāt Stop Everything
Electromagnets only affect certain materials:
- metals (especially iron)
- charged particles
If you throw:
- a plastic bottle
- a wooden stick
- or even just your hand
ā¦it goes straight through.
No Infinity.
2. Youād Need Ridiculous Power
To stop something moving fastālike a bulletāyouād need a magnetic field strong enough to counter that force instantly.
Weāre talking about:
- massive energy consumption
- extremely high field strength (way beyond normal tech)
At that point, youāre less āGojoā and more walking power plant.
3. The Speed Problem
Gojoās Infinity works automaticallyāthings slow down before they reach him.
In real physics:
- fields donāt react instantly
- changes propagate at the speed of light
Which sounds fast, but not:
āperfect infinite barrier from all directions at all timesā fast.
4. Control Is Basically Impossible
Even if you somehow had the power, youād still need:
- perfect precision
- constant adjustment in all directions
- real-time tracking of every object coming toward you
Thatās borderline impossible with current technology.
So⦠Is It Possible?
Short answer: not really.
Long answer: electromagnets can mimic tiny parts of the ideaālike pushing things away without touching themābut nothing even close to Gojoās Infinity.
Thatās the part where anime just goes:
āyeah⦠weāre not following real-world physics anymore.ā
Final Thought
I still think itād be insanely cool if we could figure something like this out someday.
