    Friction
In summary, friction is the force that resists the relative motion between two surfaces and is caused by microscopic roughness. Without friction, objects would continue to move in a straight line forever. Transportation would be drastically affected without friction, making it difficult to travel and transport goods. A world without friction would also make daily tasks nearly impossible and impact the efficiency of machines and technology. It would also be harmful for life on Earth as many essential processes rely on friction. Ultimately, it is not possible for a world without friction to exist as it is an essential force in our universe.

It would be difficult to walk or drive.
It would be hard to build things - nails, screws, bolts wouldn't work.
