What happens when the unstoppable force hits the unmovable object?

Question

What happens when the unstoppable force hits the unmovable object?

Answer 1

some form of death

Answer 2

There ain't no such thing.  They're both just figures of speech.

Answer 3

Irresistible force paradox.  Stuff would collide!

Answer 4

Before one can say that a force is unstoppable, the force would have met all sorts of objects and would have moved them all.

That's the only time that the 'title' unstoppable force would be attached to that force.

Similarly, one can say that an object is unmovable, the object would have met all sorts of forces and would have stopped all of them.  That's the only time that the 'title' unmovable object would be attached to that object.

Therefore, if one exists, then the other does not exist!

The questions therefore should not be asked in the first place as the existence of one depends on the non-existence of the other.

Answer 5

Nothing. Neither has any meaning in reality. No object is immovable as nothing is infinitely massive, dense or rigid, all of which would be required to be immovable. Likewise no force is unstoppable because its energy would have to be associated with an infinitely massive object.

It's a bit like asking what the sound of one hand clapping is. Without two hands there is no clap, so the question is meaningless.

Answer 6

There are several ways to look at it, but that kind of question is called a Paradox (a sentence or question which contradicts itself)

There is NO way to explain this without going into deep, complicated math and etc, so there is no way I can tell you.  It is not a meaningless question...It's philosophy. Examples Include:

The Below Sentence Is True

The Above Sentence is False.

If someone of the opposite s*x walks up to you and says "All (insert opposite s*x here) are liars", do you believe them?

Many more too, to me this is a very interesting branch of Philosophy

Answer 7

question is meaningless, therefore there is no answer. There is no such thing as an unstoppable force nor is there any such thing as an  unmovable objec.

Sort of like what happens if you go back in time and kill your grandfather.
