The unimaginable.

The seeming paradox is only because of the definitions of the words "unstoppable force" and "immovable object" -- which are conveniently not stated when
posing the riddle. The definition of an unstoppable force will mean that it will move ANY object. The definition of an immovable object will mean that there exists no force which can move it. Thus one precludes the other. In science the definitions of the various words should be clearly stated or understood. Otherwise everyone will be talking at cross purposes -- or, what is worse, asking foolish questions

If an unstoppable force existed in the universe, it would mean that an immovable object couldn't exist and vice versa.
The two are mutually exclusive.

The force will hit the object, then deflect. Its unstoppable, not undivertable.

The Force wins through as most forces pervade matter.

Is this a question for physics or for philosophy?
Since energy has dissipate somehow, one or the other or both would break into enough pieces to displace the energy.

Nothing, people will just keep asking this same question over and over and over again.
