Almost Impossible Question.

I guess that makes sense

The unstoppable force is not stopped (it's unstoppable) and the immovable force is not moved (it's immovable). The questions answers itself ;p.

The unstoppable force and unstoppable object collide, and EXPLODE INTO A MILLION PIECES!
I win.

i don't think anyone will ever have to answer that question...why do you even wanna know?

idk? it will bounce off and then keep goign the other way

It depends on what angle the unstoppable is hitting the immovable.

If the Unstoppable is shot towards the immovable at a 89 degree angle then the unstoppable would simply bounce off.

If the Unstoppable is shot towards the immovable at a 90 degree angle then it would bounce directly backwards, completely reversing the force that was moving it.

Anything else over 0 is not possible.

Actually anything other then zero is infinity.

Incorrect. You cannot count how many times 0 goes into anything besides 0, as it is simply none.

It's like asking someone to count to zero, forwards, starting at one. It literally cannot be done.

They would combine and create a black hole, which is both immovable and unstoppable.

Another two sided equation. You can either say zero goes into one infinite times or no times. Since zero has a value of null (or 0.00%) and one has a value of one(100.00%). Zero can therefore be added as many times as one wants and will never reach one. But then if you only add it once or not at all then you still have the same total (0+0+0+0+0=0, 0=0, nothing=0).

But this math equation has nothing to do with two objects colliding...unless your a rocket scientist that is.

Since the immovable can't be moved it stays stationary. And since the unstoppable cannot be stopped it keeps going, however the direction and speed in which it is traveling can be altered, so long as it never truly stops moving.

When they collide, the unstoppable should alter its course enough to move around or away from the immovable.

oh oh oh you got the from "the dark knight" the joker said it when he was hanging from the building (it was around the end) am i right????

Oh fun, now we've ventured into the world of Calculus and limits. Next lets debate the theorems of Physics...

The chance of the collision of those two, causing a complete stop of the unstoppable is almost infinitly small, as it stops only when it hits the immovable object at 90°, but it will bounce off at 89°59'59.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999', yes limits, aren't they lovely, and no, this is not an answer.
The wikianswer was incomplete, as when the ball hits the wall, the vector would change direction by reversing the kinetic energy from action to reaction.

Next up: What do you get if you divide by zero? (Must be a number, lulz)

okay, an example, 4/2 = 2 <=> 2*2=4, BUT, 4/0=x <=> 0*x=4, there is no x value than can give 4 in multiplication by zero times. But if you think in limits, it can be +-infinite.

what brad said, because it disproves itself.

**** I was gunna say that :cry:

Hm lets see... the un-stoppable force splashes out in all directions, losing all of its energy (as I like to put the theory, "Energy cannot be made only wasted") :mrgreen:

The unstoppable force isnt stopped, it just continues to push on the immovable object. So therefore...the force isnt stopped and the object isnt moved.

Does gravity count as a force? Does Jupiter count as the object?

Physics was never my strong point, so tbh
