• Delete. Where did the other electrons and protons come from? Where did the other object come from? Is the unstoppable force bringing along another umovable object with it? Appreciate the humor, though. — [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 08:23, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• But, like, what if the immovable was fixed in the fourth dimension? Maybe then this the universe would explode and this article might not get Delete-ed... Woah... — Asbestos | Talk 16:19, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. A paradox! a paradox! a stale and hackneyed paradox!/We're fair and balanced just like Fox/But this one smells like last day's socks. If it weren't for the fact that it is always phrased as the irresistable force and the immovable object I'd suggest a redirect to Paradox#Philosophy. They were discussing that sort of stuff in dorm rooms in the nineteenth century, too, BTW:

"That's mere juggling!" vociferated the boy," That's merely the same kind of toy-shop brain-trick you gave us out of Greek philosophy yesterday, They said there was no such thing as motion because at every instant of time the moving body had to be somewhere, so how could it get anywhere else? Good Lord! I can make up foolishness like that myself. For instance: A moving body can never stop. Why? Why, because at every instant of time it must be going at a certain rate, so how can it ever get slower? Pooh!" He stopped. He had been gesticulating with one hand, which he now jammed wrathfully into his pocket. —Owen Wister (1903), Philosophy 4

• COMMENT What happens when an irrestible force meets an immovable object? Hopefully a better article. The current article at the very least has the wrong title, and doesn't English specify immovable? 132.205.94.190 23:44, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Comment: I'm pretty sure I've seen this somewhere before. Most likely a copyvio from some book, although I can't remember which one offhand. JYolkowski 02:59, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
