If you were in the middle you would get squashed.
So don't be in the middle!

An inconceivable event (assuming both to be real).
In fact both are not likely to occur in nature.An immovable object would have to have infinite mass and an irresistible force would have to have reached an infinite acceleration with a finite mass or a finite acceleration with an infinite mass (or both infinite).Both these scenarios are prohibited by the known laws of physics.
You're question works as a thought experiment but still has no answer.Perhaps a higher intelligence might have a crack off it.For millions of years on this planet all Man had was the natural Numbers.Eventually, he invented negatives, irrationals and complex numbers which helped him with questions that had no answer.
So phone E.T. or the Jedi Academy and ask them.

One definition is wrong. If a force is irresistable, it will move anything. If an object is immovable, nothing could move it.
One is defined incorrectly.

Neither are possibble. Turn off the computer, call a friend, go out to lunch and get some fresh air.

The answer lies in the fallacy of the question itself. The existence of either automatically precludes the existence of the other. It's a simple, self-referential paradox. âº

The two couldn't exist in the same reality as the are both exclusive of each other.

Isaac Newton would be really hacked off if his Laws of Motion were wrong after all.

Since there are no such things (and could not possibly be), the question is meaningless.
