what would happen if an Unmovable object meets an Unstoppable force

[Thee Beyonder]

the question that is so hard i say they faze through each other so basically the object was never moved and the force was never stopped

The immovable object would become the unstoppable force while the unstoppable force became the unmovable object..

Simply because all of the force hitting the unmovable object will cause it to move while the unstoppable force will lose all it's momentum hitting the unmovable object..

Also the unstoppable force had to start moving somewhere...

Did you watch the dark knight?

You just explained the Big bang theory.

They would both cease to exist as they are polar opposites, that is looking at it from a mathematical standpoint. It's like if you add -10 and 10. You get zero. That's how I see it.

they will fuse into one being and create a manga hopefully... & the anime should be successful O__0

What this guy said.

No i changed my mind Lol

I just watched the Dark Knight, coincidence?

The question is flawed fundamentally.
I'll explain. The two terms you used 'immovable object' and 'unstoppable force' are both literal impossibilities in the context of existing in the same universe. This is evident when trying to define the terms. It's a fact when enough force is applied to any object it has to/will move, logically. Now for an immovable object to exist it would have to mean that no known or possible force capable of moving it can or does exist. Conversely the same reasoning mandates that an unstoppable force would have to be a force of such magnitude that there is no object/objects in the universe that contains an force/inertia that it could not overcome. Since logic dictates two contradicting statements cannot both be true the question makes no sense.

There are no paradoxes only questions lacking in variables.

I just made all of that up, pretty proud of myself.

i think thats scientist explanation for the universe.


an explosion of some type i would image.

i dont think anyone on NB can really answer this

a = f/m, newton's second law of motion
a = acceleration (rate of change in velocity, velocity is rate of change in position)
f = force
m = mass

if an immovable object has an infinite mass, then m = infinity
if an unstoppable force is a force the size of infinity, then f = infinity
a = infinity/infinity = 1

the object whith the infinite mass which acted upon with an infinte force will move at an acceleration rate of 1 unit per second per second.

that is ofcourse considering that infinity is possible.

It will go around it

Obviously the unmovable object wouldn't move and the unstoppable force would just keep bouncing and running into it

I cant remember specifically how it would work, but think of it like this. An unmoveable object would have infinite mass. A unstoppable force would have infinite force. Now that would come out as undefined. But if you think of it from another perspective, since both have infinity, think of it like it has a normal number. A object with a mass of 1, and another with a force of 1.

Now useing the equation of a=f/m. a=1/1=1 so it would have an constant acceleration.(meaning it would not stop) therofore, there are only 2 possibilities. 1 The objects would break apart and pass through each other, or 2 the objects would pass through each other.

This is all assumeing our calculation and predictions about how the laws of physics occur are indeed correct. This is also assumeing the laws of physics are constant and do not change in the universe.(complicating to think about)


But this is what is known as a paradox. For a paradox to work out, something impossible, or irrational has to happen to solve it. (im talking about a physical paradox)

 

[OWanime]

yeah they either switch places xd or they would cease to exist

 

[ChrisWolf]

The unstoppable force would bounce off the immovable object and continue going the other way as an unstoppable force, still.

The immovable object would stay an immovable object.

the question that is so hard i say they faze through each other so basically the object was never moved and the force was never stopped

The unstoppable force would rip apart and become trillions of unstoppable forces small enough to pass through objects
