I know it is probably impossable, but what do you think would happen. With Newton in mind, I would think that the unmovable object would fall and the force would be gone...

F=ma

Unmovable object = object with infinite mass. It could also be an object in an infinite gravitational field (with infinite acceleration).

In other words, we have an object that cannot be moved, even with infinite force.

Unstoppable force = that infinite force.

Since we've defined unmovable object as "cannot be moved, even with infinite force," the application of infinite force would not move the object. Nothing would happen. However, I don't think "the force would be gone" is quite correct. You're thinking momentum.

Yes, it's impossible.

F=ma

Your force "F" is unstoppable and your mass "m" is unmovable!

Given your force is a mass with an unstoppable acceleration "a"

the formula for collision applies: m1v2=m2v1

Even if the object m2 has a velocity of 0, since it is unmovable its potential energy should stop the unstoppable force, or is it the other way around...
Both objects should crumble!

Wait a minute! If the force is unstoppable it cant crumble!!!

In a real world situation, nothing is unstopable and nothing is unmovable.

However, if something were to happen like that, the force would actually begin to degrade the object until it is destroyed.

Picture a very, very strong wind on a very, very large rock.

There really is no immovable object or unstoppable force scientifically speaking.

This doesn't stop us from thinking scientifically about the theoretical possibility of such things though. This is theoretical physics, where anything can be considered scientifically!

A truly unstoppable force would have infinite energy, that is the more something tried to stop it, the more energy it would expend to overcome it.

A truly immovable object would either have to absorb infinite energy, or itself expend infinite energy in opposing being moved.

Should these two theoretical objects meet in opposition, then all the energy in the Universe would be used. Matter and energy are the same thing, so all matter itself would be consumed.

Everything, even space and time itself would cease to exist as these two items consumed everything to conflict with each other!

I hope this helps?!

I'd agree... the unstoppable force would probably break the unmovable object... it just wouldnt move.

both are kind of energy, so the law of energy will apply and some new kind of energy will be generated depending on the properties of things which you mentioned unstoppable and unmovable.

counting on what the unstoppable rigidity is, i might say that the unmovable merchandise might the two take up the rigidity or mirror it else the place, lower back, counting on what all of it is.

It would be the opposite of the Big Bang. (The Big Crunch?)
