One of two things will happen:
1) The so-called unmovable object will be moved.
2) The so-called unstoppable oject will be stopped.
This existance of an unstoppable object precludes the existance of an unmovable one, and vice versa. Of course, it's likely that neither one exists anyway so the question is pointless.

The unstoppable object stops and the immovable object moves.
No object can be truly immovable. Momentum is a quantity which is conserved, so no matter what the mass, infinite mass even, if even the slight mass touches it, it will move. It can move a distance so small it's almost negligible, but it will move.
The immovable object will movie slightly. The unstoppable object will either transfer all of its energy into the immovable one and come to a stop, or it might actually start moving in the opposite direction. In any case, the immovable object will always move, as momentum and energy are conserved quantities.

One of the 2 hypothesis's will be disproved. Either the unstoppable object is stoppable or the unmoveable object is moveable, but both won't hold to be true.

Either one of the objects is NOT unstoppable, or the other is NOT unmovable.

So far, everyone has ignored the obvious solution. The unstoppable object bounces away from the immovable object. But there are no unstoppable or immovable objects, so it doesn't matter.

ok...well if this is true, then the unstoppable object will pass through the unmoveable one
or they both are destroyed...this is the more likely scenario

Their collision would create anti-matter and release a tremendous amount of dark energy (anti-gravity). Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

They pass right through each other.
well what other solution is there?
If we don't require a hausdorf space there is no problems.

They will create a supernova. Rock.
