Quote from wolfcub
There might be a force out there to which this doesn't apply. this is only based on what someone thought about the forces THAT WE KNOW OF.

Besides, the force would just go around it without stopping.


Force is a measurement, not a type of cosmic energy of which multiple types exist.

That's like saying there's a certain kind of weight that will fall sideways rather than fall downward.

Quote from Prospect
Force is determined by an object's mass multiplied by its acceleration. Neither of those two values can physically be infinite, so there's no such thing as an unstoppable force.

An immovable object would be defined through its inertia, which increases with an object's mass. Nothing can have infinite mass, so that can't exist.

Logically and physically the paradox is flawed from the ground up, so sorry, no debate here.


This is exactly what I was going to say.
