An unstoppable force meets an unmovable object. What happens next?
An unstoppable force, as in, an object that can never stop moving ever, meets an object that is impossible to move. What happens next? Post your ideas.
The unstoppable force can only move in one direction, just to clear that up.
I’m going to start posing thought experiments like this more often if you want me to lol

That is the beautiful thing about paradoxes, my boy; there is no answer. It does no good to discuss answers to paradoxes. Chasing wind and Mercury, it is.
there’s an answer that works that i’ve seen suggested
the force just passes right through the unmovable object
the force just passes right through the unmovable object
I stand corrected.
The force changes its direction 180 degrees like the reflection of light. You see, the force is not stopped, it just changes its direction.
it says in the description it can only move in one direction
Then one of them is deleted by the time because it's like an infinite paradox.
that would mean they either stopped moving or not moving. If you don’t exist, you stop doing everything, including things you aren’t doing.
perhaps the unstoppable force goes around the unmovable force.
i said in the description the unstoppable force can only move in one direction
the unstoppable force explodes from the amount of force & speed it hits the immovable object.
is there anything im missing? prob not,

yeah you are, because if the force is destroyed that means it can’t move anymore, meaning it’s stoppable. So this doesn’t work.
the world explodes
The Unstoppable Force breaks the unmovable object.
it can’t do that, because in order to break the object would have to compress and crack, which it can’t do because it can’t move.
The unstoppable force would defuse throughout the mass, It's moving particles would slip between the gaps of the unmovable object, and come out on the other side,
Or it would annihilate whatever it impacts, The mass never moved. it was converted to pure energy

the moving object would have equal force pushed back against it (cuased by the infinite resistance of the stationary object) and it would stay put right next to the stationary one.
for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
but the moving object has infinite force to use against the infinite resistance, and that doesn’t work. They can’t cancel each other out if they’re infinite. Even if the infinite resistance was pushing back against infinite force, there’d still be more force, because infinity is, well, infinite.
they do cancel each other out. the ratio is the same as 1:1
well the forces are still at play, but they are pushing against each other with equal strength. meaning neither moves
it doesn't matter what the value (including infinite [which also isn't defined as an integer) is. if both sides are equal. nothing moves.
assuming the stationary object had the tiniest amount of give. both sides would no longer be equal and since infinity - n = infinity it would be pushed with infinite strength along with the moving object.
although there's some advanced physics determining the maximum velocity this object could be travelling at
So it is objectionable that any object could even possibly have infinite energy/ moment/ force etc top begin with

yeah, this all works in real life, but the thing is we’re kind of throwing physics out the window here. If this somehow were to happen in real life, yes, the unmovable object would win, but this isn’t real life, both these objects aren’t really supposed to be real. The unstoppable object is supposed to be unstoppable, even if it meets an object with infinite resistance.
trying to stop the unstoppable force is like trying to build a macroscopic object without using atoms. it’s impossible.
so, if the unmovable object is able to stop the unstoppable force, the force isn’t unstoppable anymore, which means it doesn’t count. You’ve stopped a stoppable force. same thing with the unmovable force. If it moves, that means you just moved a moveable force, not an unmovable one.
so, if the unmovable object stops the unstoppable force, that means it’s not unstoppable, which goes against the very nature of the unstoppable object. You have to have a scenario where both win.

the entire universe just ends
The server crashes when they collide
They collide and one of the experiences quantum phasing which allows the other to go through it
also considering the amount of energy between them, it could result that there is a clean transfer of momentum so the unmovibal object now is unstoppable and the unstoppable force in canceled out to no longer move
I think this my my favorite answer. They switch operations every time they done into constant and repeat the process until the end of time. And then betond
When I think about sourcecode and not about real physics the answer is clear:
RuntimeException

The unstoppable object punches so hard to keep moving that the molecules slowly start to combine with the unmovable objects until the unstoppable object has either gone through the unmovable object to continue or is dressed from existence.
death
It will go thru the unstoppable object compacting it more, and making a hole.
its a paradox because they cant coexist, either the moving object has to stop or the unmovable object hast to move. this means they cant meet
Or they just pass through each other.
Everything stops existing
The force would pass through the object, and equal force would be released from the opposing side of the object. The force doesn’t stop, and the object doesn’t move.

Wait lol I have the same idea

The unmovable object starts going 1 inch per century
But that would mean it’s slowly pushing the unmovable object.
Yes, I believe that the pushing force is stronger because Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah (My dolphin instincts tell me that)
Unstoppable force is just running into unmovable object and it is running into it for eternity.
that would mean it stops moving, since the unstoppable force can only move in one direction. If it's just stuck there, that means its not moving. Your arguments aren't as strong as you think they are, buddy.
Someone places a portal to parallel universe in front of unstoppable force. In this parallel universe unmovable object doesn't exist.
My brain is so big that kypickle instead of giving strong arguments give sussy, weird arguments
