Puzzle #1

Consider this situation: an unstoppable force colliding with an immovable object. Assuming the two states are perfect, what would happen?

A friend asked this puzzle. We got no definite answer.

Physics explains that this phenomenon could never happen, since no one can produce an unstoppable force. Force is mass multiplied by acceleration. Hence, either or both of the mass and acceleration be infinity which is physically not possible. Quantum Physics cannot support the said phenomenon as well if it were to be treated to happen theoretically. This unstoppable force should reach the speed of light to attain an infinitesimal force which is essentially unstoppable in sense. This is impossible by the laws of Physics since the speed of light is unattainable.

Theoretically, it could either be a total annihilation or a perfectly silent implosion. Annihilation in a sense that all the forces of the two opposing states were converted into other forms of matter and energy. Implosion in that the immovable object absorbed all the energy given off by the unstoppable force.

Still arriving at a no definite point.
