Adamantium v. Lightsabers


Earlier this year my brother and I had a discussion about Adamantium. Yes, Adamantium the metal which Wolverine's skeleton is composed of.

[Adamantium according to Wikipedia]
Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy in the Marvel Comic Universe.
It appears most notably as the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's
skeleton and bone claws.

Adamantium can cut through practically anything and is basically indestructible. Wolverine's claws were formerly bone, until Weapon X pumped his skeleton with a liquid form of the metal. I've read that it is magnetic to an extent.

This argument, however, was whether a lightsaber could cut through Adamantium.

My view was that there was no way a crappy stick with a beam of light could cut through such a powerful metal. But people who oppose that thought argue that a light saber emits pure energy. I found a little bit of information on the weapon on Wookieepedia. Who couldn't trust a site with a name like that?

Lightsaber's can cut through crap, for example Anakin Skywalker's arm. Interestingly enough the way that it cuts prevents the victim from bleeding insanely. According to Wookiepedia, it could cut through almost anything...ALMOST.

Could a lightsaber cut through Adamantium? What do you think?
