What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?Common responses to this paradox resort to logic and semantics.Logic: if such a thing as an irresistible force exists, then no object is immovable, and vice versa.Semantics: if there is such a thing as an irresistible force, then the phrase immovable object is meaningless in that context, and vice versa, and the issue amounts to the same thing as, for example, asking for a triangle that has four sides.The paradox should be understood as an exercise in logic, not as the postulation of a possible reality.According to modern scientific understanding, there are not and indeed cannot be either irresistible forces or immovable objects.An immovable object would have to have infinite inertia and therefore infinite mass.Because the force is of infinite energy, as it moves through space, it will be "converted into" or "create" matter of infinite mass spontaneously.Note that, in the modern view, a cannonball which cannot be deflected and a wall which cannot be knocked down are both types of the same (impossible) object: an object with infinite inertia.This term originates from a story (see the Kanbun example) in the 3rd century BC philosophical book Han Feizi.When asked how good his spear was, he said that his spear could pierce any shield.Solutions
Many possible solutions have been proffered, including one that has the immovable object never moving and the irresistible force never stopping; the irresistible force becomes exponentially slower forever, in order to avoid violating the trait of the immovable object, and so the two never actually collide.Thus each object is slightly out of phase of each other.Though it seems the unstoppable force passes through the immovable object, they do not make physical contact.Another idea is that the irresistible force will remove a piece from the immovable object or the irresistible force will deflect similar to a light beam on a mirror.Although it is implied that the irresistible force is traveling in a straight line, it does not state that it must continue moving in the same direction.Another solution, that the event in question is a contradiction, avoids any paradox.In a Knight Rider episode (Trust doesn't Rust), the paradox is wrongly attributed to Zeno of Elea and its meaning is intentionally distorted.Walking on Glass by Iain Banks, where the solution is: "the immovable object moves; the unstoppable object stops."Another answer is given in a Mensa puzzle book by Victor Serebriakoff (the former chairman of Mensa): by allowing the two to come together, a realistic answer that matches the semantics of the question is "an inconceivable event".In the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, the aforementioned pieces of equipment (The Unstoppable Force and The Immovable Object) are portrayed as cards, both sporting powers that destroy both The Unstoppable Force and The Immovable Object.The Unstoppable Force is "Oh.So that's what happens."Many lyrics websites misquote him as saying "unbelievable object".Sphinx's question correctly: "What happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object?"He thinks for a moment, and then "correctly" answers: "They surrender".You, the question is asked by the young girl called H.Heck doesn't have an answer, but Luce gives the logic response, as seen above.Juggernaut (comics) is the irresistible force to the Blob's immovable object.In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the former King of Prosecutors award was a halberd and a shield, based off an old Chinese tale of a man who presented the king with a halberd that could slice through any shield, and a shield that could block any attack.The king noted the contradiction, which became a symbol for the Prosecutor's Office.In Madden 05, one of John madden's quotes is "That's kind of like when an unstoppable force meets an immovabe object...In the book Bent Perceptions, one of the captions is "What happens when an irresistable force meets an immovable object?Because, whereas the Luna Wolves could storm a fortress like no other, the Imperial Fists could hold it.In English Football during the late 1990's, Sky Sports football commentator, Martin Tyler often referred to Arsenal and Manchester United as the Immovable Object and the Irresistible Force respectively.Final replay in 1999, he said "Arsenal are the immovable object but the irresistible force is still with Manchester United.""Collection of Difficulties, No.Guide to the Psijic Order.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.Please help improve this article with relevant internal links.The Irresistible force paradox is a classic paradox formulated as follows:
What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?Common responses to this paradox resort to logic and semantics.It is logically impossible to have these two entities (a force that cannot be resisted and an object that cannot be moved by any force) in the same universe.This paradox is a form of the omnipotence paradox, but that paradox is most often discussed in the context of God's omnipotence (Can God create a stone so heavy it cannot be lifted, not even by God Himself?The paradox should be understood as an exercise in logic, not as the postulation of a possible reality.An immovable object would have to have infinite inertia and therefore infinite mass.The result is essentially another immovable object which collapses and creates a singularity.Ultimately, the paradox will lead to two singularities or black holes colliding and resulting into one singularity or black hole.In the story, a man was trying to sell a spear and a shield.When asked how good his spear was, he said that his spear could pierce any shield.Then, when asked how good his shield was, he said that it could defend from all spear attacks.Solutions
Many possible solutions have been proffered, including one that has the immovable object never moving and the irresistible force never stopping; the irresistible force becomes exponentially slower forever, in order to avoid violating the trait of the immovable object, and so the two never actually collide.One criticism of this solution is that it violates the object's immovability, if it is accepted that part of the object must move out of the way of the unstoppable force.An explanation which seeks to allay this criticism is as follows: Since the 2 objects directly contradict each other's existence, they can not exist at the same time.Though it seems the unstoppable force passes through the immovable object, they do not make physical contact.Of course it is possible that without infinite density the unstoppable force could simply pass through the immoveable object.Neither of the above is a real solution, as the question is "What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?"Another idea is that the irresistible force will remove a piece from the immovable object or the irresistible force will deflect similar to a light beam on a mirror.Some may maintain that as both have equal physical power (infinity), they will merely cancel each other out and neither will move.Although it is implied that the irresistible force is traveling in a straight line, it does not state that it must continue moving in the same direction.Walking on Glass by Iain Banks, where the solution is: "the immovable object moves; the unstoppable object stops."The Immovable Object (a shield).The flavor text of The Immovable Object is "What happens when..."So that's what happens."Many lyrics websites misquote him as saying "unbelievable object".Sphinx's question correctly: "What happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object?"He thinks for a moment, and then "correctly" answers: "They surrender".The tagline of the 1988 movie Bulletproof is "An unstoppable force is about to meet an unmovable object!"Juggernaut (comics) is the irresistible force to the Blob's immovable object.In Madden 05, one of John madden's quotes is "That's kind of like when an unstoppable force meets an immovabe object...Because, whereas the Luna Wolves could storm a fortress like no other, the Imperial Fists could hold it.In English Football during the late 1990's, Sky Sports football commentator, Martin Tyler often referred to Arsenal and Manchester United as the Immovable Object and the Irresistible Force respectively.Final replay in 1999, he said "Arsenal are the immovable object but the irresistible force is still with Manchester United."This page was last modified 18:21, 8 January 2008.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Band MembersMixmaster Morris and friendsInfluencestable.Robert Anton Wilson RIP ."Are you sure you want to delete this comment?"King,Thanks for the inspiration all these years.That track still kills me every time.Hearing Colours, Seeing Sounds feature documentary is the story of Psychedelic Trance music, and its subculture."Take a deep breath and feel the reality......I'm nothing, without you I can't be."James Bernard because mine were jacked from being played to much.You make amazing sounds and mixes!!!Thanks for your kindness!East Village, NYC
