What would happen if an Irresistible Force met an Immovable Object?

The two would merge, theoretically.  But, keep this in mind.  In order for an object to be either immovable or irresistable, the masses would have to be infinite.  This is an impossible scenario, so we really can only theorize as to the results.  The result would be the opposite from what was described in the first answer.  Instead of energy  being turned into mass, I think you'd find that both the mass with irresistable force and the immovable mass would be both turned into energy, in the forms of sound, heat, light, etc.  Comprehend the results.  Infinite mass = infinite energy!!

Contradictory Premises. Conclusions are drawn from the interactions of premises: where two premises contradict each other, there can be no interaction and hence no conclusion. Similarly, if the definitions of two terms conflict with or exclude each other, then those two terms cannot be simultaneously ascribed to a single object or event. The classic example of contradictory premises is the question, "What will happen if an irresistible force meets an immovable object?" The problem here is that in a universe where an irresistible force has been defined to exist, there cannot also exist an immovable object, because then the force would not be irresistible. Conversely, if there is discovered or defined such an item as an immovable object, then by definition there can be no such thing as an irresistible force.\n\nThis fallacy's most popular appearance is in the form of a challenging question, because questions with contradictory premises are such brain teasers. In each case, though, no answer can be given because the premises cannot both be true.\n\n    * Into what shape of hole would a round square fit?\n    * If an object is all black and all white at the same time, what color is it?\n    * If an object is both stationary and traveling at an infinite rate of speed, how long will it take to meet itself?\n    * If God can do anything, can he make a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it?\n    * If God is all powerful, can he put himself out of existence and come back with twice the power he had before?

I am working at a Research Insitute in Artificial Intelligence. We are now researching a brand new technology that may one day erradicate the sedentarism. The unification of matter principle has been used to create a volatile spherical ball a few centimeters in diameter, which can penetrate every kind of material object (think of it as a radiation coordinated though satelite). This has only been experienced on mice, but one day such an object will move with speeds of up to 3m/second on the shorest way towards you. Of course, a pain ensues uppon contact (and maybe some minor tissue damage), so this would make people more active - trying to avoid the sphere.

no, actually it would become pure mass. you will be adding infinite energy and that energy will transform into mass so you would have an ever stretching train, and of course it will break into pieces and the pressures will make the train explode making it energy... so changing my original answer, if your train is breakable, it will turn into pure energy, it will burst into pieces destroying the railroad and everything around it ^^

Glad to see you're thinking, but this is an easily answered question.  \n\nTake for example a magnet.  Regardless of what is in front of your magnet it will still attract an object to a distance equal to its strength.\n\nex:\n\n.....(|)<<<< <[]<<<<<<<[]          \n\n......^..............^...... ......^\nMagnet......Metal..... ..Metal\n.................Object.... Object\n\nThe magnet is going to exert force on both of the objects without interference from first object.  \n\nBased on your definition of propagate...come to your own conclusion...that is the joy of thinking...we all have our own thoughts.

The unstoppable force deflects to whatever side easiest for it to deflect to, but if you say they meet exactly head on they will merge. The unstoppable simply decays into it's anti-particle counterpart and passes through the unmovable without moving it.Neutrinos with no mass and no charge probably are the unstoppable forces in nature that we know of.Dark matter and dark energy excluded.

Since the piece of cheese is at rest. and no net force is acting. by Newton's First Law of Motion, it would continue in its initial 'state of motion'  which is rest here (since it was initially at rest) ....all other choices would violate the law!. got it dear!

No, because you might have other forces acting on the object such as magnetic force and gravity.

nothing-\nthe system of atoms inside your car is stationary relative to the baloon.

Either the object is not immovable or the force is not irresistible.  Both things can not be true at the same time.

If you were to take a matter particle and the equivalent antimatter particle and collide them together, one would end up with no matter.

Yes if sufficient force is applied the force of impact will negate the magnetism. This is because the charged particles (electrons, neutrons, protons) will collide and confuse the flow of energy. Unless you have an elctromagnet then the magnetism will survive.\n\nSometimes if you drop a compass you will also make it useless as they are also magnetic

a)It is already a magnet. It can not become an electromagnet.\nb)Can not happen\nc)If this happens it will only be for a short period\nd)After a long time its power may be reduced but not lost completely\n\nSo I can not tell for sure. Mots likely c

There cant be an unstoppable force or an immovable objet in nature, so their collision can only be imaginary.\neven if it happens one of them has to behave abnormally!!\nSo Either the force will be stopped or the object will move, either ways there will be deviation from nature!!\n\nIt is like asking is infinity < infinity +1 !!\nThink about it!!

If there are no gravitational or or frictional forces, then in theory it would travel forever.

It's not specified that the object is unbreakable, so it would break. I doubt the pieces of the object would continue to be immovable, so bits of the immovable object would be flying everywhere. Serves it right for being so stubborn and not moving.\n\nIn the case of theft, the unstoppable force would either come back later with a bigger screwdriver, or steal the keys.
