i think I've made that game engine before.

Maybe the universe will crash due to division by zero, floating-point error, integer overflow and segmentation fault, all of them occurring simultaneously. The objects will experience infinite velocity and infinite forces, there will be rounding errors, the system will run out of RAM and storage space. The universal CPU will max out all threads, and run out of cooling capacity. The hardware catches fire, the entire universe immediately collapses into a singularity, resulting in a new big bang as the system reboots. Oh, and the log files are corrupted, so good luck troubleshooting that one.

First billion years free. After that it’s 17.99 per millennia.
What currency?
I doubt the universe accepts Euro or whatever.
It's just 17.99. Take it or leave it.
That's actually how black holes are made

Noooooo! You're violating my binary thinking! Either A or B has to win!
Dammit I should have posted my exact same solution back when I thought of it for the first time, but I was lazy so eh my fuck up
Pretty sure none of these exist so idk why it bothered any1 in the first place.
if people only bothered to think about things that exist (especially things that they think exist) we would probably go the way of the dodo. funnily enough that would prevent the dodos from going that way but whatever.
I highly recommend watching the Vsauce video on supertasks—it's a great video as expected from Vsauce but also ends on a great note about people and their tendency to think about things like this.
Neutrinos are pretty close to an unstoppable force: they can pass right through the earth without being stopped.
I believe this is an expectation of dark matter, to being even closer to an unstoppable force. Perhaps a reason we haven’t found it yet would a because we don’t have a detector that can stop it
You clearly haven't met my mother.
There are some pretty close physical analogs that are fun to think about. You cant move a black hole by exerting physical force on it in the normal way so practically infinite gravity wells are like a immovable "object", though if you're sufficently nerdy enough you can cook some fun ways to harness its gravitational rotation into a kind of engine, or throw another black hole at it to create a big explosion and some gravitational waves which are like a kind of unstoppable force moving at the speed of light.

You can attract a black hole using gravity tho
These kinds of contradicitons exist in man made structures, such as laws, rules and regulations. In situations like that, a judge has to pick which rule to follow and which one to ignore. The first time that happens, it becomes the standard solution (precedent) for those kinds of problems.
It can bother people who believe in omnipotent deities.
Facepalm Man i'm dumb, this is a great answer to that thought experiment.
Force is not a thing that moves. Force is what is applied to an object. In this "answer" whatever is shown and depicted as force is not force.
Then reverse the assumptions. Maybe it’s the immovable object that can’t be interacted with. Apply all the force you want and meet nothibg
If you applied the unstoppable force and the object of application did not move - then this force was not unstoppable
Was that unstoppable force unstoppable before the object? Was it unstoppable after the object? Did anything stop it?
