What would happen if two unstoppable objects collided head on?

Question

I like this question. I will continue asking until someone answers correctly.

landyemmerman: Are you and jaden friends? And you still haven't given the right answer.

Answer 1

An Unmoveable object is created?

Answer 2

To answer this question, we need to define three terms:

objects - excitations of the quantum vacuum
unstoppable - no interaction may make the associated object stationary in the frame of reference of another object
collide - An interaction whose impulse is on the same scale as the uncertainty of momentum of the associated object.

So, to answer this question just use the interaction Lagrangian and write down the Feynman diagrams to the get the distribution of events, eliminating all diagrams where the each object ends up stationary in the frame of reference of the other object.

For example:
(1) If the objects are non-interacting (lets say two photons) then nothing happens
(2) If the objects are matter and antimatter they have a certain scattering cross-section to self-annihilate and produce energy
(3) If the objects are identical they may have an exchange interaction
etc..

In summary, the laws of physics don't tell you that one "thing" happens. A superposition of many things can happen each with a given probability amplitude. This may not seem altogether satisfactory to you, but it is reality as we know it today.

Answer 3

I hope I answer your question perfectly. Well well, let us assume of such a scenario though we both acknowledge that such objects, in their entities, are not unstoppable because for them to continue moving they would need to have infinite energy (kinetic), right? Okay, and we all know that they won't have that infinite energy. So I'll just use my common sense to think of a real possibility though I tell you again I have never experimented of this. The 2 unstoppable objects, assuming that they have the same mass and the same shape (lets take them to be circular like a golf ball) both having infinite energy when colliding, will transmit some energy to the other ball. That energy of course will cause the energy of one of the balls to decrease in case the energy transfer is not equally distributed. In that case, the one having excess energy will continue moving, after all it has more than infinite energy now (take is as it is though it sounds unfamiliar), while the other one will have less than infinite energy. So, at some point the ball having less energy will stop after its energy has been used up while the other one will continue with its unstoppable motion. But as you may be thinking, if infinite energy can be decreased by transmitting some energy to the other ball, what happens when both are moving. Aren't they using energy too?? Aren't their infinite energy being used up and decreasing?? To that, I will just tell you 'what about electromagnetic waves?'. They continue moving at the same constant speed. So here we face another situation. Infinite energy, by losing some energy, in fact continues forever. By infinite, it means even though you will remove some energy from it, it will not finish. Finite means finish while infinite means the contrary, i.e never finish. Phew! Here we come to our final answer: The two balls will continue with their motion until they collide, after which they will rebounce continuing to move in an opposite direction now without stopping at all since they have infinite energy. A bit like photons!

Answer 4

All matter is stoppable in terms of mechanical laws. If they have a defined mass, a velocity(whether it is continually increasing or not), acceleration(whether it is continually increasing or not), the moment of impact and the characteristics of the objects at the moment of impact will determine the resulting conclusion. It's velocity and mass at the point of impact will determine how the objects will move because momentum is conserved and momentum will remain constant after impact, and depending on their velocities, mass, elasticity(if they will stick together or not), will determine their movement and reactions after impact, their directions of movement as well.

Answer 5

r u considering ideal physics?
If so then:

Considering perfect elasticity they would just rebound assuming perfect point contact. If they are of same mass the would travel in exactly the opposite direction of which the approached and with same velocity.
________________________ ______________________

Collisions involve forces (there is a change in velocity). Collisions can be elastic, meaning they conserve energy and momentum, inelastic, meaning they conserve momentum but not energy, or totally inelastic (or plastic), meaning they conserve momentum and the two objects stick together.

The magnitude of the velocity difference at impact is called the closing speed.

Answer 6

Ive got it!
it would be exactly the same as two normal objects hitting!!
Because no object is ever completely stationary as atoms never stop vibrating!
they slow down absolutely, but never stop
Hence they are unstoppable!!

Answer 7

well my answer seems stupid but ill give it a try haha
the objects would stop ?:D
u said they are unstopable ... i dont know :D

take carez have fun

Answer 8

Please refer to your previous question:

Lol, no. I'll leave you alone now. I just like beating down a smart-@ s s. It felt really good.

Answer 9

the big bang

Answer 10

if they are unstopable they can not collide..
