The kinetic energy of the moving object will be absorbed by the immovable object (as i understand it, it is fixed right?)...now the immovable object will release the energy back to the moving object. That is why a moving object will bounce back if it hits a fixed object.

If the unstoppable object struck perpendicular to the plane of the immovable object then one or both objects would prove to not be so unstoppable/immovable after all. Otherwise, the unstoppable object would deflect off. Do you understand? Here is a test question: what would happen if two unstoppable objects collided head on? 10 points if you get it right.

Matter and energy in the known universe can neither be ultimately unstoppable nor ultimately immovable. And, we cannot comprehend a rational answer to such a hypothetical event because everything in this universe is either matter or energy. And, even with the hypothetical "stuff" of whatever the two colliding objects being taken as a given, the reaction or "what would happen . . .?" of such a collision would be dependent upon a hypothetical set of laws, such as the laws of physics in this universe. Since even our ability to comprehend is dependent upon the laws of physics in this universe, we could not perceive such an event nor would anyone be able to imagine a collection of hypothetical laws of physics that would be meaningful unless as complete as a grand unification theory would be for this universe. In other words, one would have to be a "God" so to say, capable of creating an alternative fully functioning universe, in order to get this answer right, or, at least capable of perception without energy as we know it in this universe.

The unstoppable object ALWAYS goes around the immovable object and continues on its merry way.
This is how we maintain equilibrium in the universe.

I think it's impossible for anyone to comprehend. There would be no explosion because the two objects can not lose mass (this is theoretically and the statement basically says so).
The reason I say that it is impossible to predict an outcome is because, yes theoretically it is possible, but physically not. Think of it like this. In math, it is theoretically possible to divide by zero, or take an even root of a negetive number. However, we just can not predict what the outcome is. (That's why they created imaginary numbers. I guess we can create imaginary words to answer your question). :)

If an object were unstoppable it would also have to be unstartable (if it obeyed the laws of physics) therefore the collision couldn't occur.

a big collision causing a great noise and an explosion
