How does head butting someone in the head with your own head ever work

1.29K viewsOtherPhysics

I see this shit in movies all the time and it always just looks insane to me. Even just basic physics should mean that the equal and opposite reaction of one skull banging into the other would knock each person out equally. How does this ever work? The character always walks away like some badass as if they wouldn’t have some major concussion and are invincible. The only use of this I ever appreciated was the parody in an Adam Sandler movie where the guy did it and did actually pass out from it.

Here, let me handle this.
In an MMA fight or any wrestling match, if a contestant hits another one with his fist and the other one gets knocked out. So, as per your logic the person who knocked down the other one should be knocked down too. But it’s not like that. Because different body parts have different strength and power. Now, in the case of Head-to-Head, different people have different capabilities to deal with pain. And different people are built differently.

I’m not saying those movie’s actions are real. I am just saying, if someone hits someone heads with his own head in real life, there’s a chance that it’ll be impactful.
