Recently when skimming through my physics-text I encountered an interesting definition of Force $$F(x) = -\frac{\mathrm dU(x)}{\mathrm dx}$$
We were taught that some functions are continuous but not differentiable. So for the force to exist $U(x)$ has to be differentiable. So how can we prove that $U(x)$ is differentiable everywhere?
