Poll: unstoppable object meets unmovable object

[Mr.Black]

Wow really? It's immovable. How can people get this basic shit wrong? Spelling. Learn to.

 

[Vaar]

I think that was how i was born 0.0

 

[Kamehapa]

There are no absolutes. There, that was easy.

It's the end of the world as we know it...

 

[vulpe_mihai91]

probably been said before but unstoppable objecr becomes immovable object and vice versa

 

[wildpeaks]

Unstoppable object bounces off unmovable object.

 

[Joe Matsuda]

i still dont see how this question is the same as the super knife thing cutting through uncuttable thingy

it just seems like two different (though both paradoxical) questions

oh well...it took all night, but i made coookies for anyone mad if they felt this was a repeat topic..

will have to check on your first solution, since it doesn't make much sense to me, since the force and the object wont be on the same universe (at least for that small period of time) - feel free to correct me here -

about your second solution, yup, the blackhole is indeed a close definition an ustoppable force (at least per this universe standars), any object capured by the black hole will remain unmmovable in relation to the black hole, but not in relation with the universe thus conserving motion, but the example refers to linear motion (at least I am assuming so), and the act of absorbing it is changing the conditions again. But a solution would be to move the universe (at least to fit the example) making the universe fixed to the unmmovable object, but once the force meets the object, the universe moves, making the force unstoppable and the object unmmovable at the same time...

Well, the reasoning behind using that small amount of time (or rather it's concurrent length in whatever bizarro universe were are talking about) is that it is (at least theoretically) the shortest amount of time in which anything meaningful can happen and thus would subject these two objects would switch places between steps in discrete time (this eliminates the problem of the object "stopping and turning around in zero time" because it has one vector at one time-stamp and then that "different but equivalent" vector at the next one without the unmovable moving and the unstoppable stopping).

For the second solution I'm imagining this black hole as acting more the role of a portal that moves onto an object as opposed to an object being sucked through a portal (imagine an animation of teleportation where there is a ring above a character or object and that drops down over them, causing them to disappear along the way). This way the object never moves relative to itself and never has to bother "moving" per se, but all of its parts are always in one place at any given time.

nothing would happen because both objects are physically impossible.

you only think there physically impossible, the human mind cant comprehend everything, just like a dogs mind cant comprehend a combustion engine

 

[daxter101]

seeing as how i have never punched myself in the face, i am not sure what would happen

 

[bew11]

its suppost to be what happens when an unstoppable FORCE meets an unmovable object.

 

[ninjaman 420]

An unmovable object would need all the mass in the world, so nothing will be there to move it.
An unstoppable force would need all the energy in the world, but it can't have kinetic energy because all the mass is being used up by the unmovable object.

Now excuse me I'll be having sex.

All the mass in the world? you set your sights a little low there buddy if you were thinking more mass means less movable. all the mass in are world goes all the way around the sun once a year. nice try though. not even all the mass in the universe would do it. if you brought all the mass in the universe together it would all collapse under its own gravity and make a super massive black hole. your probably just tired from all that "sex" your having

im just telling it like i heard it

and who says the force cant be an object?

it is hypothetical after all....

If something has all the mass in the universe (sorry that was a typo with 'world') it should implode but then that would defeat the point of the questoin.

 

[El Poncho]

The unstoppable object would stop and the unmovable object would move.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

neither really exist. the quistion exist to make you think.

now most things can be "unstoppable" in a zero gravity situation.

of coarse immovable dosnt mean unbreakable or dose it?

*on notebook waiting to enter to give the exam*

actually the can be stoppable in zero gravity in vacuum, any friction and it would be eventually stopped.

to break something you have to move it.

just two words. Big Bang

 

[Archemetis]

There's no rule that dictates the unstoppable object can't change direction.

Wasn't this Wrestlemania III? In which case I conclude that the answer must be Hulk Hogan.
