thats the best answer ive heard yet, good thinkin. But... which object would win would the unstoppable force move the immovable object or would the immovable object stop the unstoppable force.....hmmmmmmmmmm

with it being infinite...there is no real answer....infinite has no end and therefore it would never end....ad infinitum.....

EDIT *** or at least that's my answer and I'm sticking to it....hehehehehehehe

so by negate... u mean the unstoppable force actually stopping, or falling apart, so then wouldn't the immmovable object win...?

The question is absurd. Neither of those are real. Finite extremeties that only exsist within the context of the question itself. Nothing is immmovable.Nothing is unstoppable.

But ask urself what extremities aren't finite? Do u know for sure? Can we move the sun? Can we stop an asteroid bigger than earth? How? What is to happen the day these finite extremities meet eachother? Who wins?

nope.. both objects would cease to exist and the paradox from said contact would have a ripple effect through time and space and the afore mentioned items would cease to have ever been or to be. in short they would effectively remove themselves from time itself. The affects of which are unknowable. Meaning it could be nothing or it could be disasterous, depending on how many events in time that the object had been involved in, to the entire stability of the universe. Either way the effects of such an occurance would be bad, very bad

Maybe... but u have to ask urself the question of whether unstoppable could be stopped by immovable, or immovable could be moved by the unstoppable

Of course WE can't move the sun. Just because the human race can't do something dosen't mean it can't happen.The sun CAN be moved if a large enough object hit it, or was pulled on with enough gravity.. Objects large enough are out there. Of course the chance of this happening is next to nothing. But the answer is yes, the sun is moveable.Likewise, there is no object that COULD not be stopped if it hit the right object, or was pulled on with enough gravity. So, I stand by my answer. This " what-if " cannot be answered as it is built on false principles.

They can never meet each other because they can't exsist. Except in our imaginations. The good news is, there is no wrong answer! Everyone wins.

I love this - a total stoner debate.....you wouldn't get this pout of a bunch of alcoholics.......let's measure infinitum next ok?

Infinitum is this big: [......................................................................................]
The real question should be how big is the space between periods and how big is the period it self?

great question!!! I love imposibly hard hypothetical questions... kick ass!
What they hell would happen... if they can break they would break... but if they were indistructable... hmmmm

okay lats think this through. For the sake of an accurate depiction of an unstoppable force and an immovable object, lets take A sphere for the unstoppable force and a wall for the unmovable object, of our hypothetical cosmic material. I call it cosmic material only in the sense that our civilization has yet to discover anything that could be rendered as either immovable or unstoppable. We then need to consider the medium that its traveling through, air, water or space. Assuming that to move through rock would possibly cause then destruction of the planet and make the whole conversation pointless. If our object travel through the air then the object by the laws of physics would heat itself by friction; whatever the outcome of striking the immovable object the release of the built up heat energy would be intense. and water would be little better because of the speed of which that we are assuming that they are traveling at. So, let us assume then that the object and the force are traveling through space at a high rate of speed. The immovable object needs to be truly immovable and I am not going to be able to even speculate on what it could be. But, given that the nature of the universe is just that, nature, everything must die. Therefore it would most probably be a built object. For the sake of argument I will use a giant metal wall as the immovable object and a giant metal sphere for the unstoppable force. So what would happen then? The Sphere would come hurtling through space and strike the metal wall, and assuming their unstoppability and unmovability one would assume for the sake of argument that these things where industructable as well. So, the sphere hits and what happens? the impact would send the sphere hurtling of in a different direction and both objects would remain unchanged,one immovable and one unstoppable. Though there could be a large release of energy upon the impact in space. But one would have to assume that the impact of two such things would inevitably create some sort of energy discharge, some sort of shockwave or concussive blast....Either that or it happens on a small scale and thats how planets are made...just a stoned ass thought

:hump: I would like to start by saying chill dudes. Lets say Chuck Norris is an ustoppable force and also an immovable object at the same time. HE could move and stop anything, except.....when annoyed by Gilbert Godfrey...:hump:
