There is no such thing as an immovable object.

Been 30 some years since physics class isn't gravity the only constant force?

force = energy.. energy cannot be created nor destroyed , mearly changed form.. therefore the force turns to light , heat , sound, (any other form of energy)..
headache now ..

Cool question. The only problem is that only one can be allowed the unstoppable force or the immovable object. One has to be false in order for the other to be true.
With that knowledge I would say you get a green bunny with pink wings.

The answer is only one is possible.

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. 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.
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.
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. According to modern scientific understanding, no force is completely irresistible, and there are no immovable objects and cannot be any, as even a minuscule force will cause a slight acceleration on an object of any mass. An immovable object would have to have an inertia that was infinite, and therefore infinite mass. Such an object would collapse under its own gravity and create a singularity. An unstoppable force would require infinite energy, which does not exist in a finite universe.

I'm with Ken. The greater of the two forces would make itself apparrent after the two interact. The immovable object part seems rather impossible though, thinking from a planetary/galactic perspective. We think of mountains as immovable, but it's been accomplished. We think of mother Earth as a reference scale to nearly everything, but there are plenty larger planets, and each of them is in motion (immovable? I think not)
The 'immovable' object would already be in motion, so I propose that it's trajectory would change and all kinds of debris would result. Though our tiny human life span precludes such data gathering, it would be neat to record planetary collisions in other star systems and what evolves geologically over the ages from such events.

most MBT fall as close to the imovable object as one can find, roughly 70 short tons. the APFSDS(DU) round is as close to the unstopable object in the same vein. the kinetic round propelled to 1600+mps ( meters per sec) cuts thru said imovable object with no problem. in fact said round will penetrate one meter of solid hardend steel. close enough for the real world?? or 42,lol.

Black hole.... a singularity that would rip the fabric of space/time
a black hole is both infinite energy and mass and cannot be contained...
infinity divided by zero.....is a singularity

I supect the two do exsist, in unison, transistioning between each other at the boundaries, like a dust storm, but that storm is time. It's where we live.
