If an unstoppable force met an imovable object, what would happen?

The blind would see, the lame would walk, and England would win the Ashes.

If an unstoppable force met an imovable object, what would happen?

the reason why that old chestnut seems paradoxically unexpalinable is because it is wholly mental abstract and has no actual reality.
for example, the can be no object which is 'im-moveable' for all is change--haven't you noticed..hehe
and unstoppably force also is wrong fro things both stop and start, and inbetween, and have ye heard of quanta?

The blind would see, the lame would walk, and England would win the Ashes.

Such an Englishman's attitude... Cricket is after all, a representaion of all that the british institution hold dear.

If both 'unstoppable' + 'imovable' were real, absolute... tthem colliding would release the biggest shock in hostory - an INFINITE shock that would destroy all the rest of the world. Even the whole universe.

The point is moot: this world does not tolerate absolutes.

The world would spin in whatever direction the unstoppable force was travelling, but the immovable object wouldn't actually move from where it sat on the ground.

England would never win the ashes, that's ridiculous.

Easy peasy.
The unstoppable stops and the immovable moves.

And if that can happen I'm sure the ashes can come home.

The excess energy would be released as a burst of radiation. Of course, no object is immovable, and no force is unstoppable, that would mean the radiation burst would have infinite energy, and vaporize everything (presumably including the immovable object).

The unstoppable force would keep doing whatever it does, without stopping, and the imovable object would keep on being not movable. Simple :)

Though... this would only be possible if there was an unstoppable force, and an imovable object. :p

The unstoppable object would 'tunnel' through the classically forbidden region. :p

The unstoppable object would move around the other object? It's impossible in the real world.

I had to look up the word Ashes to figure out exactly what it was, dammit.

The unstoppable object would move around the other object? It's impossible in the real world....unlike this whole situation? Anyway, I was referring to quantum tunneling, a real world phenomen.

you mean it' d just jump to the other side of the imovable object + carry on the same way?

Essentially, yes. But I was joking.

*Note to Self*
No more QM jokes

This whole thread's kind of a joke realy - as glaucon said this world does not tolerate absolutes

semantics, gotta love to hate them.

I supose semantics change over time howevr much we try to preserve language - THERES an unstoppable force.

If an unstoppable force met an imovable object, what would happen?

The Matrix would crash.

What's the next step in this thread?
Insults?
Yeah, your mom would crash.

The thread getting closed is the next step. ;)
