According to current scientific understanding, it is impossible to have either an unstoppable force or unmovable object. An object with "unstoppable" force would require an infinite amount of inertia in order to be "unstoppable." This would result in the object having an infinite amount of mass. The gravity of the infinite amount of mass would cause it to collapse and form a singularity. This would be a breakdown of all laws of physics and we would have no reasonable way of predicting what would happen.

The question is meaningless as asked. It tries to create a paradox but in the real world, one of your hypothetical forces will be stronger than the other.

The combination of unstoppable and unmovealbe in the same sentence creates a verbal contradiction because our language is complete but not correct. Goedel worked on language theorems, so this is a case of Goedel' Completeness Theorem in action. English is a complete language in that you can say anything. But it is not a correct language - because in a correct language, you could not tell a lie or create a self-contradiction.

Well, your choice of words is a perfect example of a sentence that contains an impossible contradiction. Other examples: What happened before time started? (Define "before" when time hadn't started yet.) What is outside of space? (We cannot get outside of space to know if there even IS an outside.)

The same thing that happened to the apple that hit newton on the head. Newtonian physics baby

This question has been asked here many times before. Don't try this experiment at home! The Universe as we know it will end!
