    What happens if the unstoppable force hits the unmovable object?

    There's nothing like an unstoppable object,an immovable object or an idestructible object in the science of today. Any object in existence is acted upon by a force from other bodies unless the object is in absolute free space. However, there is no absolute free space since it is an idealization. Also, only the basic constituents of matter can be considered indestructable but such objects have not been found till today. Assuming there is absolute free space and there is only one fundamental object( that is it can exist on its own and is not made up of other bodies) there, we cannot observe such an object to say if it is unstopable or immovable because we cannot exist. If we existed, then the "absolute free space" cannot be free because it is bounded by another space (where we the observer is). But, if we existed in the same absolute free space where the object is and we cannot interact with the object(ie there is no force), we still cannot say if the object is unstoppable or immovable according to the laws of physics because there is no force since all laws of physics are based on the interaction (force)between two objects.

    THE MOLECUALR STRUCTURE OF THE UNMOVABLE OBJECT WILL BE CONBLAMINATED BY THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE CAUSING A NUCLEAR REACTION WHICH ONE CAN IMAGINE BUT HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO DO.

    There are many possible solutions including one that has the immovable object never moving and the unstoppable force never stopping. This is where the unstoppable force becomes exponentially slower forever in order to stop from violating the trait of the immovable object. The two objects never actually meet. This solution only works if one is to interpret the paradox as having the immovable object in the path of the unstoppable force rather than the two actually meeting. This solution is not entirely true, as the question is "What happens when an irresistible force MEETS an immovable object?" The solution only works when the two objects never meet. Another Idea is that the unstoppable force will remove a piece from the immovable object. Physicist Ross Ozarka states in his book Factum Forlorn that "the human eye will never be able to witness such an event, since the immovable object [is] a black hole, and the irresistible object [is] any object unable to break the escape velocity of said black hole. Light rays emitting from the black hole will never reach an observer's eye, unless he himself is the irresistible object."

    but doesn't that make both stoppable and movable?

    but... the force is unstoppable and the object it hits is unmovable then the force will either be abosrbed into its internal energy (according to the first law of thermodynamics) or it would be reflected off it surface. The force could also pass through the object and continue through to the other side of the object (although some would be absorbed too).....To all those saying it is impossible and then disregarding the question, all i have to say is that is quite irrellevant. All theories are never really true as a pure, always correct and accurate due to the very complexity of the universe

    When an object in motion collides with an object at rest, the energy from the object in motion is transferred to the object at rest. Without energy, the unstobable force becomes dorminant. And since the unmovable object is unmovable you get one big ball of energy not going anywhere and therefore releasing the energy in another form such as heat or light.

    Think of the little desktop thing that has the 5 chrome balls hanging from 5 strings. You pick the first ball up and drop it and it slings down and hits the other 4 balls then stands still and the last ball on the string flies up and comes back to hit the balls again

    The unstoppable force would be stopped, and the unmovable object would be moved.

    End of story

    Wouldnt the two cancel each other out? If a force is unstoppable then there would be no such thing as an unmovable object and vice versa, if there is an unmovable object then an unstoppable force cannot exist.

    (might have been said but I didnt read the entire thread)
