You opinion: Imovable object meets unstoppable force what happens??

DISCLAIMER: the following only applies to those who believe in God.  \n\nHere is an even better question as an off shoot from this one: Can God create an immovable object?\n\nIf you say he can, then that means he can't move it, which puts a limit on his power.  But, if you say he can't, because he should be able to move anything, then again you are putting limitations on Him.  It's a real paradox.\n\nJust something to think about...

The 2 cannot co exist it is what is known as a paradox.\n\n\n\nhypothetically though if they were to exist the unstoppable force would either pass through the immovable object or it would simply have its direction altered by the immovable object. see angle of incidence and angle or reflection.

clone or twin or whatever.. it'll be inscest

Probablly the most novel one that I've heard of is in the "lensman" series by EE doc smith, and it involves inertialessness. He had a device that would somehow remove the inertia of the object it was hooked to, thus making it unneccesary to accelerate. I thought this was cool; it had some really interesting ramifications. Good series, too!

*******************************************************\n*It's not a paradox to begin w/!!!!  It's perspective.*\n*******************************************************\n\nThe question is "immovable object & irresistable force." It's a perspective thing. They do exist. The problem lies in the fact you're on the outside looking in on the system. \n\nWhat is the irresistable force? There IS only one. Gravity.\n\nWhat is your immovable object? Pick something. Anything.\n\nNow drop it. From your perspective the object falls to the ground. BUT what happens from the object's perspective? The ground jumps up and hits it, while the object remained still. It's your basic car window perspective question.\n\nIf using large enough objects, it can become a "matter shake."

Well my friend, two theories come into play here.\n1) Things in motion tend to stay in motion.\n2) Energy cannot be created or destroyed\nTherefore, one or both of the objects (depending of the structure and integrity of the objects) will suffer severe or absolute damage as the transfer of kenetic energy to solid matter occurs. (Depending on the speed and velocity)Whether you think so or not, one obect will move or one object will stop.

That's a superb question!\n\nI guess the Manhattan project is the obvious answer, but I'd like to go back and undo the invention of the wheel, just to see what would happen ;-)

One word: UNSTOPPABLE.

Impossible!  We are all robots, didn't you know that?  LOLx

well if it were in a medium where it is obstructed by external forces,it would continue till the 0 point and stop... but when unobstructed it would keep travelling.

By their definitions, you can't have both.\nIf a force is truly unstoppable, then no object is unmovable.\nIf an object is truly unmovable, then no force can be unstoppable.\n\nThen again, the force may just pass through the object the way neutrinos pass through the earth.

I think the hardest question ever asked was asked by a scientist.  This was the question, and it literally drove him insane thinking about it:  Two large metallic orbs are traveling towards each other on a collision course.  Both are indestructable, and nothing can divert them from their path in any way.  They can never stop moving on their path for any reason.  What would happen when they collide?  Neither can be moved from the path that they are traveling, they cannot be destroyed, and they can never stop moving.

simple. 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction' remember that one? the unstoppable force will do a 180 degree turn and apply itself in the other direction.

highly improbable, but possible. not sure how or what but definitely not through any conscious entity, but energy is real. If we have lived once, it must be possible to live again... maybe i'll an amoeba or space bacteria :)

Nothin would happen.\nIf you consider two bodies the earth (name it E) and a large mass (m). \ninitially M rests on E. and you lift mass M. the force used to lift it will also act on E.\nAlso if you consider the mass M and E. as a system force exerted on dropping M would be internal and since internal forces do not cause acc. the Earth will not get unbalanced.\n\nThats good for us isn't it...

Anything is possible "if" another impossible thing is found to be possible; so long as the original thing is made possible by the formerly impossible thing.\n\nIn other words, of course time travel is possible so long as other impossible things become possible that would make it possible, such as your catalyst which would open a space and time rift.\n\nTherefore, the real question is not whether time travel is possible, but whether any catalyst does exist that would make it possible.\n\nThanks for the post!
