What happens when

Unfortunately there is a limited amount of energy in the universe. So if you "aquired" a majority of it (minus the matter that makes up your lab and person and notepad/pen) then split it in two and set up this funtime experiment; you'd probably cause a singularity and destroy existence. Though you've pretty much done this already.

Hmnn. Physics; lame.

Yes, but we're assuming the unstoppable force IS unstoppable. I know it can't, but just let it be for the sake of argument.

They negate eachother.

I've just thought, isn't this scenario like this?


It's just that they use a finite amount of force/resistance. I'm not an expert in infinity mathematics, but isn't it just the same principle? This would support evidence to Hippoman's theory that they just swap roles.

furthermore an unstoppable force can be hypothesized to have infinitely small size and therefore most likely be prone to reflect of the surface of the immovable object.

Or maybe the force is completely and infinitely absorbed into the object then recreated on the other side. This depends on the environment the object is in.



I wish there was more theoretical biology questions that had complex and interesting potential answers.

reminds me of the story edgey tells you in 1-5
and i guess that's one way to look at it

No. Newton's cradle doesn't move forever. If it did, we would be using it to power everything because it would be constantly generating energy.

It's just that the energy dies down at a slow rate.

So it's kind of like if you scratch a diamond against another diamond

they both end up scratching each other

what
how is it like that at all

Yeah, but in that arguement, the diamonds are the same thing with the same force applied to both so

The second hardest substance vs. itself.

yeah, itself
not the second most unscratchable substance or something

Well, wouldn't the unmovable object vs. unstoppable force be equal?

Physics dictate that the unmovable object will be Unmovable.... so the unstoppable force will either, exhurt Infinite energy to attempt to move the object, but stating that the force of the actual momentum (assuming it is speed we are talking about) .... will inadvertently create a reflection and cause the unstoppable force to continue it's momentum elsewhere.

set 'immovableobject = 0'

INCONCEIVABLE

since we're dealing with a colossal amount of energy in an extremely small particle, I see no reason why it couldn't just divert via a combination of quantum leaping(more energetic the particle is, more opportunities for electrons therein to jump) and the inevitable course change brownian motion causes(assuming we're not operating in a void)

macroscopically, deflection qualifies for a non-earth shattering answer very aptly :D

THE IRRESISTIBLE FORCE (hogan) MEETS THE IMMOVABLE OBJECT (andre)

They negate eachother.
