I've been wanting to ask this for a while, since i'm designing something that employs it, but how exactly does Yarvex do this:
A) The gluon-gluon bonds in Yarvex are infinitely elastic. That way, when Yarvex is struck with a kinetic force, the material itself will deform to any degree necessary in order to transfer all kinetic energy through itself from one side to the other. This would preserve the 'Yarvex is indestructable and inpenetrable' parts... but only to a point. If you deform a 'woven material' far enough, eventually the weave will become thin enough that it becomes penetrable.
B) The gluon-gluon bonds in Yarvex are static in length. For this to work, Yarvex must somehow be able to transfer kinetic force without deforming or moving in any way- not even through vibration. It would need to somehow absorb and transmit kinetic force vectors so that things stop cold when they hit it, but the force travels onward as a disembodied force on the other side...
So which is it?
So, it cannot be penetrated, but cannot stop kinetic energy? How does that work? The two ways that i can conceptualize it are that:"The resulting cloth like substance is impervious to penetration, although it does nothing to stop kinetic energy."
