If an Unstoppable Force meets an Un-moveable Object, Which One Wins?

impossible question.
both cannot simultaneously exist.

Un-moveable object. Time will eventually slow unstoppable force.

They both turn into pure energy.

whut?
if something is immovable then something unstopable cannot exist.
is something is unstopable then something immovable cannot exist.

Can God create a rock so heavy that he himself cannot lift?

Not sure I get the reference, they've been both moved and stopped this season

That depends. Is the unstoppable force exerting more energy than the immovable object?
I would think holding your ground would take less energy than trying to move something holding their ground.

Most matter is empty space. If an atom were seen at the scale of a football stadium, the nucleus would be something tiny... don't remember exactly, but maybe something like a ping pong ball sitting in the middle of the stadium, while the electrons whirl about the edge of the stadium.
With that in mind, the unstoppable/irresistable force will pass through the immovable object effortlessly while the object remains unmoved. Since both the force and object are theoretical and there is, in fact, mostly empty space within and around atoms, this is theoretically possible under normal conditions.
What happens under non-standard conditions, like the middle of a black hole, might be different. I don't know to what degree matter/atoms supposedly collapse within a black hole, but I'd guess the idea is that the vast space within ordinary matter is severely, if not entirely reduced. I'd further guess that since matter and energy are equivalent and linked by speed, the irresistable force (which presumes movement) would likely have to slow down as it transitioned it's energy through the unmovable object. The tricky part would be in how the force would retain it's full energy... if it heated the object as it passed through, that would technically be a form of movement (the object wouldn't necessarily be displaced, so may remain conditionally unmoved, but would be vibrated if heated).
Perhaps if the unmoveable object were a perfect conductor, it wouldn't absorb the heat and would freely allow transmission of energy without heating or other movement.
There's an array of conditions and possibilities that can be applied to this question.
