What would happen if an irresistible force encountered an immovable object?

Question

I am well aware that this is a hypothetical question. Come on people, use your creative genius, and come up with a possible answer.

Drop the NUKES NOW, the dumbing of America is complete!

Why could these things not coexist? What if they were located on opposite ends of the universe, or in a parallel universe?

The given presumptions for the question is that they DO coexist, and have encountered one another.

Your answer must be within these constraints.

Where have all the deep thinkers gone? Someone please step up to this challenging question. Your answer need not conform to know physics, since the presumptions lay outside the boundaries of know science. they should however make sense logically. This is more an exercise in thinking, rather than an actual problem, with a set answer.

Answer 1

Much like matter and anti-matter, if they collided, a huge amount if energy would be released. If only we could harness this energy, we could stop the hot air coming from Al Gore, thus ceasing Global Warming which apparently leads to world hunger. BTW, what ever happened to global hunger? i miss that problem. all we ever hear about is the warming. anyways, a huge amount of energy would be realeased by the formula

E = (mass of object) x (Force of IF) / (Surface they touched)

Thats my theory anyways. but why take my word for it?

Answer 2

Both objects would pass through each other. Not at a physical level but all molecules would slide over one another to allow one object to pass through the other. It is possible that both participants would bond as one or become deformed in shape but it is impossible to be sure of what would occur. If you mean the force was not acting upon something to act upon the immovable object the answer would be "Zero/0". because this means all things involved cannot exist after their purposes have been completed. Maybe the force and object would seize to exist. According to me anyway.

Answer 3

Nothing.

The irresistible force and the force making the object immovable are equal in quantity (infinity), but are working in opposite directions.

The two forces together produce no movement/work

Answer 4

Everything has physical limits. There is no such thing as an irresistable force or an imovable object.

Answer 5

If either one of these things actually existed it would preclude the very existence of the other.
They cannot encounter each other because they cannot coexist.

Answer 6

There ain't no such animals in the real universe. In your imagination, anything can happen.

Answer 7

at least one would get redefined.

Answer 8

neither exists.

Answer 9

All unicorns would die.
