Eggs vs. Brick Wall

If you had an infinate supply of eggs to throw, like an army of chickens just sat right down next to you and began laying as fast and as inexhaustibly as possible (given that this were possible), could you know down a brick wall? Would infinate eggs generate enough concussive force to topple a well-built and evenly mortared brick wall? None of this foolishness that the egg yoke would soften the ground supporting the wall, no. This is a serious topic.

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Given that the acceleration will never increase to be enough, the only way would be to have as many chickens as possible focusing on a single spot to increase the mass at that spot.

The question is how many chickens can be pointed at a single spot and would that be enough to make it crack and crumble.

My guess is that it is not possible to line enough chickens at that spot and the wall wins.

If there was a tornado, the egg.

If you have infinite time, then the eggs will eventually win.

Use a hyper chicken (Futurama), which fires eggs at 0.4 light speed. Bye bye wall!
