Would it bounce off and go the other direction? I don't know the science behind a rebounding object. Im not sure if it has to stop completely before going the other direction, but if it doesn't, then I would say that it just bounces off and goes the other direction. Of course, I say this taking into consideration that you never mentioned a max or minimum speed for the moving object.

I don't think the universe could set an unstoppable force in motion towards an immovable object...

Meaning like, the energy required just isn't there. Would a truly unstoppable force have infinite inertia, mass, whatever? Would an unmovable object also?

That's why they call it a paradox isn't it??

exactly right - hypothetical situation equals hypothetical answer - none of which are right (or wrong) since it is all hypothetical anyway.

or as jimmyspaz pointed out - it is a paradox (like can an all-powerful God make a rock that even He can't lift?)

Could god make a burrito warm enough even he couldnt touch it?
Why are people asking questions with no answers?
How is a raven like a writing desk?

why? mental gymnastics. a non-sequitur is not the same as paradoxical question.

No question in this thread has perplexed me more than how is a raven like a writing desk.

For
the
love
of
god,
tell me the answer.

Yes, God could make a burrito so hot that even he couldn't touch it, but he would anyway, because he is God.

Because that is human nature for you.

The genuine answer:
"It is nevar put with the wrong end in front."
Carroll (As in the author of Alice Through A Looking Glass) originally included this quote in the postscript text, but it was not understood by editors (as a typographical error) and was later rid of in the books. Nevar is raven backwards. :)
