Answer to the Greatest Mysteries of Life

If a piece of toast always lands butter-side down and a cat always lands on its feet, what would happen if I strapped a piece of toast butter-side-up to a cat’s back and dropped it?

Answer:

The paradox is that these two forces are clearly in exact opposition. One theory states that as it approaches the ground, each side will spin away from the ground to avoid it and the cat/toast will hover and rotate infinitely, producing an anti-gravity effect. However, this would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy, because the cat/toast needs additional energy to continue to hover and spin. The result is that two infinitely strong forces are in opposition. This will have a devastating effect on the universe and the space-time continuum, and create the apocalypse.
