When does the stickiness stop..?

Featured Replies

If you had a ball of a sticky substance , and u rolled it over the earth , eventually the ball will reduce as it rolls while parts of it are sticking on the earth as it rolls

 

but as every peice sticks ,

 

when does the substance stop existing

 

because if u moved the last molecule of stickiness on something else it will keep sticking and so on

 

hard to explain hope u guys figure it out

i stand corrected

the answer is

watever is there is there

and no more will come

 

so i think the above person was wrong saying never

Surely when you see your ball of sticky stuff "disappear" it still exists as a very long very thin track on the earth ? Perhaps I don't understand the question.
