Impossible Question
Now this question may seem a bit unanswerable in my opinionsince, I don’t know an extensive amount aboutPhysics. But id thought I post this question to see if thereis a logical answer to it. Or at best learn a bit of howsomeone with knowledge of this would answer this question for aserious matter.
Q. What would happen if you had an object with Unstoppable Forcethat came into contact with an object that is Unmovable?
-As in the Unstoppable Force has a momentum of Infinity,and same for the Unmovable object for which ever term would make inUnmovable would be infinite.
- Looking for an answer besides yes they both will not move etc,to give points out for.
- Thanksin Advance

Explanation / Answer
Please rate this answer. 1. This is one theory. There cannot be an unstoppable forcebecause it would use infinite amounts of energy and the laws of(energy) conservation prohibit this. Howevertheoretically.....The unmovable object would requre an infiniteamount of energy to move, and although The unstoppable force hasinfinite energy, you can't get MORE than infinity, and they wouldcancel each other out so the unmoveable object would win bydefault. 2.Here's another go at it... Well, let’s suppose that we define an“unstoppable” force to be one that can move absolutelyany matter. Furthermore, let’s define an“unmovable” object to be one that cannot be moved byany force. In that case, this question is unanswerable, because itrelies on contradictory information. By definition our force canmove anything, but then, also by definition, there is an objectthat the force cannot move. This is a bit like saying“suppose X is true, and not X is true. Then is Xtrue?”. Here X is the idea that the force can moveanything, and not X is the idea that there is at least one objectthat cannot be moved by the force (which in this case is ourunmovable object). Hence, this question has no answer because itrelies on assumptions which contradict each other.
