The force is redirected.

Is this a philosophical question? It has been tested empirically.

All of the observers in the stands will be vaporized.

The unstoppable force is stopped, and the immovable object moves.

This, by the way, is an unthinkable thought.

TWI

Neither exist.

Wheatley

There's no possible world where both an unstoppable force and an immovable object exists. They are both co-impossible.

BrianW

It is impossible to have two distinct absolutes. The immovable object and the irresistible force are one and the same.

LD Saunders

I agree with unenlightened and Purple Pond. There can't be an unstoppable force if there is an unmovable object, and there cannot be an unmovable object, if there is an unstoppable force. The question makes no sense.

Daniel Gibbons

What if the unstoppable force and the unmovable object combines to become an unstoppable object that moves with force?

Daniel Gibbons

The object itself might be 'unmovable' but the space around it would be susceptible to pressure from an 'unstoppable' force.

Daniel Gibbons

Movement is merely about 'perception', and the 'idea' that an object is "unmovable' is based on the 'perception' of the suggested 'application' of force. 'perception' is a factor.
