The immovable force wins!
If a race car (unstoppable force) crashed into a cement wall(immovable object), what would happen? CrAsH!!!!
and if that race car is considered 'unstoppable' it would still be in motion while it is crashing, then it would just slow down, accept defeat from that cement wall and go find another cement wall (another immovable force) to battle with...and it would again crash...and so on...
my conclusion, the immovable force wins because it causes the unstoppable force to slow down (not stop) and change its course and direction!

There is no such thing as either of those things. There can be a force which is insurmountable by things within it's neighborhood, for a certain interval of time, but never in the absolute sense. If you strike an object which is causing a force, you have already reduced that force, if even a little bit. If the object is made of atoms, are you telling me that there is no force which cannot move these atoms? Microscopically (and sub-microscopically) all the atoms are already moving. The only way to stop them is at absolute zero. But they are not immovable because the slightest heat will cause them to move. Even if you think that you have stopped the atoms, because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, you would never be able to prove it. Suppose you define a universe with a spring (that pushes) and a ball, so the ball is accelerating causing a force. But the spring is a finite thing so the acceleration must come to an end. The ball and spring mechanisms will have momentum, but there will be no more force, so even if you try to build a universe to try to create an unstoppable force, the force will be stopped by the very mechanism that created it. If you were to have a closed cube with the spring inside, the atoms in the spring will re-allign themselves so that in time the spring will lose it's strength, as well as the walls themselves until there is no more macroscopic forces between the spring and the box. You could say that there are microscopic forces that will always remain, but geuss what? In quantum mechanics as well as in general relativity there is no more concept of force!

Here think of this.
A mild force acting on a heavy body could not move it , because it is acted back by the frictional force. But when the force exceeds the limiting frictional force then the body starts moving.
Here you say that the body is immovable, then the corresponding frictional force is infinite. Hence the unstoppable force however great in magnitude it cant move the body, unless it exceeds the infinite frictional force, that which is not possible.
note that this answer is made considering that the body is rigid. else the body would be deformed, but still the boy would remain unmoved.
hence only the immovable body wins!

Well an immovable object would have to have infinite mass. Because of this infinite mass there would be an infinite amount of space-time curvature around it. This infinite curvature would make no force be able to move it. All and all its an ill-defined problem though since infinite mass is impossible as is an unstoppable force.

They would probably both be destroyed by the impact or the utter failure of logic to be able to be used to solve this problem. Since both are actually imaginary the best conclusion probably come from the use of imagination. The first thing that comes to mind is a lemon poppy seed muffin. There you have it, whichever object is a muffin would win.

In a race? Probably the unstoppable force.

the unstoppable force would smash into the immovaqble object,pulverising it.i know-i am the unstoppable force,my husband is the unmoveable object-and i always win!!!!!
