The unstoppable force is stopped and the unmoveable object is moved, proving that all things are possible...and by changing the very nature of their pre-collision existance, the unstoppable force BECOMES an unmoveable object and the unmovable object BECOMES an unstoppable force.... A perfect transfer of ultimate energy....Action - Reaction

And the law, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" is now null and void, or it just doesn't apply here..?

I like Stalker's response.


I'm a physics guy.....so I'd have to go with Dizzle.....but for riddle's purpose....I say Stalker's response.

I agree with Dizzle's view..

QUOTE(AYHJA)And the law, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" is now null and void, or it just doesn't apply here..?
Actually, it does. See below with my shitty diagram and explaination.. lol (it's probably wise to read Kramer's reply first..)

(in reality, forces are equal on ALL sides of the object, not just the 2 that are labelled..)

two factors needed to be identified, Density of the immovable object, and velocity of the Unstoppable force.

if density exceeds velocity, force adjects frequency. and goes AROUND object

else

if velocity exceeds density, force goes THROUGH object.

Hmmm, true..
Didn't think of that..

But remember, our object isn't any 'normal' object, its magic - it doesn't move..
So, density cannot be more than velocity
(did I make any sense just then?)

But that brings up an interesting possibiltity - does all of this even HAVE to follow our laws of physics..?

Waaaaa - I don't like paradoxes..!

Yep, they'd cancel each other out.

Infinite and zero are one in the same, nothing and everything.........
