Can an Unstoppable force meet an immovable object?
Wait a minute, is he “joking”?
Is there a force that is Unstoppable?
And is there an object that’s immovable?
How will they meet?
To find the answer to this, let’s First, let’s talk about an unstoppable force.
There are four types of basic forces around us.
And every force by nature is unstoppable.
Meaning we can’t stop it from occurring. But it’s not what unstoppable means. We want a force that never stops and is in constant action ALL THE TIME.
But it’s practically impossible because this force requires an object with constant acceleration without slowing down.
For example,
Let’s say I’m throwing a ball in the air. Here the ball is the object. I generate force by throwing the ball, which flies for a little while and falls down. This means the force I gave to this Ball is not strong enough to keep it always flying in the air.
But, no force that we know of has the capacity to always keep an object in constant motion because every force applied in nature gets weaker at a point.
So for the sake of this experiment, let’s just imagine an unstoppable force acting on an object, and the object keeps on traveling somewhere.
Now let’s go to the immovable object.
What makes an object hard to move?
Weight right?
If something is heavy for you to move, you can’t move it. Right now, You may think of huge mountains or buildings that don’t move. But as we all know, the earth is rotating and revolving around the sun.
So nothing around you that you see is immovable.
Because to create an object that cannot be moved by anyone or anything, it needs to have an infinite amount of weight or mass.
It’s okay;
let’s again imagine an object with an infinite amount of weight.
Now we are in an ideal scenario where we have an unstoppable force and an immovable object
So if both of these meet each other……..
No, unfortunately, that won’t happen.
The unstoppable force should never be stopped when it hits something.
The immovable object should never be moved when a force acts on it.
So the unstoppable force would just go through the immovable object and keep traveling while the object remained in the same place.
Therefore proves the point that the force never stopped, and the object didn’t move at all.
