what will happen if an unstoppable force hit an immovable object.

This is not a psychology question. Repost your question to the Physics page.

ok

The moving object will destroy itself and put a big dent in the immovable object. The immovable object will either absorb much of the energy, disperse it or return it to the item hitting it. As the unstoppable object is going to penetrate the immovable object, the energy is going to destroy the moving object or the immovable object. Now you have to examine the hardness of each of the objects. The weaker object will fail unless it's malleable, like gold. Ballistic vests and energy-absorbing armor work under these principles.

True, it isn't a psych question but it is a relevant question for someone studying how the brain works out problems.

It's true that it is not psych query, Thanks for your help with the query. Clearly understood. Thanks.

Well Either the weaker object will get destroyed or else considering the immovable object must be immovable because it is tightly bound to Earth(or any other celestial body) by frictional force.. If the unstoppable force hits it this will rotate the Earth. If you are taking in quantum scale, we cannot apply Newtonian Mechanics in the problem.

Both forces will be anulated by each other leavin' the material plane of existance :P
