    @Sirstupid so the situation has come to this: a bulldozer sits perched on a titanium toothpick which is placed on some solid titanium. Well, since we obviously have unlimited funds, let's replace the bulldozer with one made of solid gold. Then what happens? It's heavier, so does that make the toothpick still puncture the ground? lol

    @Sirstupid that would just make it more certain to penetrate the ground

    @Sirstupid yes, you can balance a bulldozer on a toothpick. But the toothpick will probably snap due to internal imperfections. Or just sink slowly into the dirt.
