"What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" that image doesn't show a force meeting an object
They met, they just didn’t interact. Kinda like me at a work party.
There is no force without interaction, just linear momentum.
"where's the food and booze?"
That just moves the problem, what happens if I put a piece of paper between them? Unless they don't interact with anything they still face the same problem.
I mean we have these in the universe, one example of an unstoppable force is neutrinos. These tiny particles certainly seem to contain a whole lot of energy, moving close to the speed of light. But just try to stop one.
Fiiine. BRB, I need to build a giant underground cave.
That's pretty simple, if there is any matter they could both interact with in the way, it would be converted to energy and either expelled to the side or shunted to another dimension.
