Since at least one of the 2 would be stopped or even reversed, only one of the 2 could actually be unstoppable. And to be guarenteed unstoppable, such an object must have at least some amount more mass than the whole rest of the universe combined - another reason there can be only one such object in a universe.
Re the original varient of this "paradox", both an irresistable force and an immovable could not exist in the same universe, as one must be able to dominate over the other, thus rendering the description of that other false - if the so-called "immovable object" was moved, it was never immovable to begin with, likewise logic for the force.

Many possible solutions have been proffered, including one that has the immovable object never moving and the irresistible force never stopping; the irresistible force becomes exponentially slower forever, in order to avoid violating the trait of the immovable object, and so the two never actually collide. This is not really a solution, as the question is "What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?" Another idea is that the irresistible force will remove a piece from the immovable object or the irresistible force will deflect similar to a light beam on a mirror. Some may maintain that as both have equal physical power (infinity), they will merely cancel each other out and neither will move.

Explosion.
They compressively decelerate forever. You said nothing about slowing.
They bounce off each other.
One will go back in time. They both keep going.
The universe moves and the object stays still.
It moves into another dimension.
They will touch, slide halfway around, and then continue on their merry ways.
Each object rematerializes in an other-object-free universe. They never slow down.

if both are unstoppable, then each have infinite mass.
and equal speed..
but if two objects collide with equal mass, and speed, then they would both either anihalate each other or bounce back... in opposite directions.
however, this scenario does not exists in the physical world...

Many possible answers.
They may explode, elastic or inelastic collision also may occur.
Actually it depends on situation, like the identities and properties of objects and surrounding conditions.

If they are of the same mass, they both stop or implode. If one has more mass than the other, than the object with more mass smashes through the other object.

That became the plan for 2 issues that are unchangable to alter and chains to be broken. I nevertheless love Jeff and that i nevertheless want us to artwork issues out yet i will't take care of the evilness it somewhat is inching it somewhat is way into this

no objects are unstoppable. therefore, they could not colide.
but lets say that they DO exist. then it would depend on the mass, velocity, and speed.

Either one or the other will become stoppable (or direction will change), or one or both will be destroyed. the energy has to go somewhere.

they stick together...both object have the same momentum which would cancel each other when they colide
