What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Answer 1

It's a shame that some scientists are not born with a visible sense of humour.

This is a rhetorical question - a philosophical question that cannot be answered.

Mind you, according to a copy of Metro last week, the egg came first ( apparently ) , so the immovable object/ unstoppable force question may eventually be answered by someone with too much funding

Answer 2

There is nothing that is immovable
everything is relative
a wall is immovable to you but not to wrecking balls
So.. in essance..
This power must go somewhere. Power does not vanish, nor does anything else for that matter. It may dissepate, but not vanish. So either:
1) Immovable option moves in the direction of force
2) Force (if pure energy) could dissepate
3) Force (if a physical object) would bounce back to the object itself, damaging it (like boxers who can break thair arms if they punch to hard on a thing that wouldn't budge)
4) they can bounce off each other making both force and the immovable object move in an opposing direction.

Thats it.

Answer 3

The immovable object will stay on its place while the unstoppable object will continue to go.

Very simple indeed.

Answer 4

We do not live in a universe which allows irresistible forces and immovable objects. In fact, no universe can ever allow both irresistible forces and immovable objects they can not co-exist.
( The question has no answer in reality. ) But if we were to hypothesize, here take your pick. It Is a Force Paradox, Zeno Paradox, infinite energy, or Deflection.

Answer 5

the unstoppable force stops if the immovable object is immovable enough

Answer 6

The question does not compute!

Please look up dictionary for definitions of unstoppable and immovable and rephrase.

Answer 7

Well from basic knowledge (I am probably wrong), I would assume that the unstoppable object would bounce back and travel in the opposite direction...

Answer 8

You fail to understand that under the theory of relativity nothing is immovable.The object might appear stationary to you but its rotating and revolving along with the earth.

Answer 9

An Unmeasurable noise

Answer 10

the unstoppable force keeps moving but in heaps of tiny pieces the object just kicks it i guess..... you know, "what u up to", "just kicking it", all cool like sort of thing do ya get it do ya heh.
