what happens if a unmovable object hits an unstoppable force?

Answer 1

To be unmovable, an object would have to have an infinite amount of mass. Such objects don't exist, so the question is rather pointless.

It's easy to hypothesize two mutually contradictory concepts and ask "what if ... ?". For example, what if an unanswerable question were given to somebody who knows the answer to everything? What if an animal that is immune to every poison ate something that is poisonous to every living being? What if somebody who hates all music listened to music that everybody likes? Etc. etc.

Just my opinion.

Answer 2

Since the object is unmoveable, all the energy must go somewhere else, I'm thinking as either sound, light, heat or a combination of the 3. Either that or the object will disintigrate.

Answer 3

I suppose you mean what if an unstoppable force acts on an unmovable object?

In real life physics, these situations never occur. Sometimes we have phenomenally large amount of inertia, or ridiculously huge forces, but nothing infinite.

Answer 4

If the object is immovable, it's not about to hit anything, so nothing happens. As a general rule, all objects are movable and all forces are irresistible - in the sense that they must produce some movement or deformation in the object they act upon. Immovable objects are strictly imaginary - so you're free to imagine a result.

Answer 5

As Sammy Davis Jr. said, "Something's gotta give".

When an irresistible force
Such as you.
Meets an old immovable object like me.
You can bet as sure as you live.
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give.

Answer 6

If it's unmovable it cannot hit, but to amuse you, you will have yourself a state of equilibrium.
