There can be only one. Or if you've already mastered oneness, you
could move on to two-ness, I suppose. (cf Woody Allen)

Polytheistic, I suppose?

Er, that's why I indicated that both the conglomerate being crushed be
of sufficient mass - such as to have crumbling effects - and that the
ones doing the crushing be "sufficiently more massive" than the one
being crushed. There's an physical equilibrium thing going on where
collisions between objects that are too small to generate sufficient
gravity, won't break any atomic bonds.
