wot happens if an irrepressable force hits an immovable object?

Answer 1

Hello! - good question...

Unfortunately there is not a satisfying answer but there is a nice phrase to describe why this is.

I heard it slightly different: what happens when an unstoppable ball hits an immovable wall?

This event can not happen - because logically, if immovable walls existed, then unstoppable balls COULDN'T exist in the same universe - i.e if your mate had an unstoppable ball, then your wall can not be considered immovable, no matter how tough it is - conversely, if your wall really IS immovable, then matey's ball can not be considered unstoppable.

The nice phrase is this:

"It's an impossible situation because the existence of one negates the existence of the other."

I like these sorts of questions :) got any more?

Cheers

irrepressable force-- Chat rooms monitored. Blogs deleted. Websites blocked. Search engines restricted. People imprisoned for simply posting and sharing information.

The Internet is a new frontier in the struggle for human rights. Governments – with the help of some of the biggest IT companies in the world – are cracking down on freedom of expression.

Amnesty International, with the support of The Observer UK newspaper, is launching a campaign to show that online or offline the human voice and human rights are impossible to repress.

immovable object-- An Immovable object is one that can't be moved but isn't obviously fixed in place. The practical difference between a Fixture and an Immovable is that moving the former is forbidden in the verify method, while moving the latter is disallowed in the action method.

so dependant on either of these the answer could considerably fluctuate.... pps i liked the my wife's bum is so large it has its own post code answer earlier on..

Answer 3

First you must understand that there is no such thing as an irrepressable force and an immovable object. However, if you had a very great force applied to a very massive object you would get, at the very least, a very big release of energy (explosion). Consider what happens when a very big asteroid slams into the Earth. Ther Earth really doesn't move too much as a result of the impact but an incredible explosion results.

Answer 4

The irrepressible force and the immovable object cannot co-exist, as they are mutually exclusive. Therefore they would never hit each other.

Answer 5

irrepressable force A collides immovable object B causing everything at point C to blow up with a radius of D to the power of X squared minus phi. well that is what my science teacher would have said if i was paying any attention at the time

Answer 6

There is no such thing as an irrepressable force or an immovable object

Answer 7

The 'immovable object' has a good laugh. ''Irrepressible' 'means your fictious force has an attitude that can't be controlled; usually it is used to convey an impression of good humor.

An "irresistable" force, now, that's a different question entirely. :>

Answer 8

I was that irrepressable force.

I hit an immovable object and married it!

Answer 9

I believe the lyrics are: Somewhere, somehow, Something's Got To Give from Daddy Long Legs with Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, and Fred Astaire

Answer 10

Nothing. People will just keep on asking this same question over and over and over again, thereby wearing down any irresistable force and wearing out any immovable object.
