What was that miserable little philosophical quandry that people in college used to repeat to you at the local coffee joint to make them seem deep? Oh yes, they would say "an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. What happens?"
Well, I'll tell you. The unstoppable force is deflected away at a trajectory that can be anything except along the initial vector (which would imply that the force had to momentarily stop). If the force is simply deflected, then it retains some sort of velocity in some direction. The immovable object does not move, and the unstoppable object does not, in fact, stop.
Pretentious coffee shop philosophers beware: You bust that out on me ever again and raise your eyebrow as if to say "You can't figure that one out, can you?" and get ready to get the LONG version of the aforementioned explanation.
Well, stop it.
