an unstopable force hits an unmovable object

"Unmoveable" (immovable in Real English) objects do not and could not exist in our universe or any other universe that we could properly imagine. Therefore the unstoppable force, e.g. gravity always moves the object to some extent, even if immeasurably small.

Either the unstoppable force continues moving through the unmovable object, because it's unstoppable, or the unmovable object stops the unstoppable force because it's unmovable. Obviously both and neither will undoubtably happen. Since this is a logical contradiction, such an event could not occur. If it did, there is no way to predict what would happen. It's entirely possible that space would rupture, time would dismantle, and the entire universe would collapse in a catastrophic event ending existence as we know it.
Of course, this is a worst-case scenario...

I think the original question involves an immovable object against an irresistable force, but the answer's much the same...
No one knows, because it can never happen.
If the two were to meet, one would have to give way, and therefore wouldn't be what it claims to be.
If the immovable object gave way to the irresistable force, then it wouldn't have been an immovable object as it moved.
If the irresistable force couldn't move the immovable object, then it wouldn't be an irresistable force.

i dont think anything is totally unmovable or unstopable, but if they were almost unmovable and unstoppable, then kaboooooommmmm!!!!!
anihillation, possibly as much energy as the big bang

i think one case is this the unmovable mass will break in sevaral parts.another case is possible at last the mass will move.but according to ur ques that is unmovable body,so 1st may happen.

it may be analogous to M-theory when/if 2+ Superbranes collided and created OUR Universe as a resulting singularity: a wonderful paradox of creation in which our presently known laws of physics fell/fall apart

There is no such thing as an unstoppable force or an immovable object.

sounds like a clash with my mother in law - national fall out and a frosty silence follows... dust settles and human life will evolve
