I did try it at home, and it's impossible! It's also a CGI fake!

It is unless you pre drill the hole for the nail. The hammers don't have enough energy (or is that mass?) in them to drive a nail into real wood at the rate shown.

The nail and hammers are imaginary. Here's the CGI nail and hammer, and the head of the guy making the video on his computer:

Neither. It's the inertia that counts... :P

CGI hammers don't have any inertia or mass!

I think he meant E = mc²/?(1-v²/c²), alluding to the possibility that you might be able to do it if both hammer and nail are made of plutonium.

Well comb > CGI hammers don't have any inertia or mass!
CGI hammers might have no mass, but if you throw them at the speed of light their zero mass combined with the relativistic effects will of course give them a real mass, and they'll knock the nails in. If the nails are real. Is the mass of a CGI nail an imaginary quantity?
