Paradox of irresistible or unstoppable force
What happens when an irresistible force encounters an immovable object? This is what questions the paradox that has a strong intrusion in the realm of logic. As in all the paradoxes we have been presenting, the idea is not to think of it as a possible reality, but as an exercise.
Known as the paradox of an irresistible or unstoppable force, this postulation comes to deal with the current idea of science that indicates that there is no force that is completely irresistible, as well as theoretically assert that there are no immovable objects. This occurs because an immovable object would equally have to have an inertia with a value equal to infinity, so it should be constituted by an infinite mass. If we consider a finite universe, such energy for the unstoppable force can not exist.
