light

There are immovable objects?

Them phasing through each other is one possibility, but I'm looking for more possibilities than just the basic, common theory

What do you mean "light"?

Always hated this dumb question. They are relative terms and can't coexist in the way the question implies anyway.

Yeah, but it's still fun to think about

now im going to sleep, so goodnight all

neither can exist at the same time

if the unstoppable force hits the immovable object and it doest move the object it isnt truely unstoppable and if it does move it the object isnt truely immovable

My physics is likely to be relatively terrible to a significant number of /sci/borgs, so don't be too harsh on my idiocy. Also, please forgive my English.

F=ma. An object must have a velocity, relative to another object, on which it can cause acceleration whilst not having its force diminish.

An immovable object is an object, which relative to another object, cannot have it acceleration change (i.e. it remains static).

Of course, the property of the object to be incapable of acceleration or deceleration is common to both the unstoppable force and the immovable object. And since an objects velocity depends on the inertial frame of reference, and immovable object and an unstoppable force are the same thing, observed from different inertial reference frames.

Now, if by definition, acceleration/deceleration cannot occur for these objects, then we must assume that they cannot interact in any way which would otherwise lead to acceleration or deceleration.
For example, weakly interacting massive particles, in some hypothesises, are hypothesised to only interact through gravity and the weak nuclear force; so an unstoppable force and/or an immovable object, we can assume, will not interact through any of the four fundamental forces.


This raises more questions. Do these objects, if larger than a single particle, have a unique type of force which allows interaction between their constituent particles, which the rest of matter does not? or are these objects simple collectives on individual immovable/unstoppable particles? Can they really be described as an unstoppable force if they cannot produce acceleration in another object?

If meaningless question, this cannot occur.

If charitable interpretation of question is assumed, a new universe would be created as unstoppable force imparts infinite energy to immovable object.

If realistically uncharitable interpretation of question assumed, this happens all the time (for instance neutrinos passing through classical matter).

If completely uncharitable interpretation of question assumed, dark matter and black holes must collide somewhere, and if this is actually occuring, there is probably nothing happening, because we currently have no evidence indicating it is.

it can never happen but they would go right through each other
