... and destroys it in an explosion of reality. Like many cliches, the root question is both deeper and more simple than it appears. And like most cliches, the deeper question has already been answered. There is no immovable object. There is status quo. There are things that are "solid". There are things which are gigantic, enormous, etc. But everything moves.
Anything that is truly static does not exist in our universe or at least not in a form we could recognize. Matter can not defy the forces that act upon it. The towers of the ancients are old and crumbled. The great families have been born and died. Greece fell. Rome fell. The great empires of Europe rose and fell. Our own empire will one day fall. Safety is an illusion. Permanence is an illusion. Anything that stops moving, dies.
Now as for the unstoppable force, show me one that can be stopped. Degraded perhaps. Deflected perhaps. But the light that was present at the dawn of the universe is still going out. The first mover, whatever it be, set off a chain reaction that has never stopped. Passion, drive, love, these things go on. They may lessen, but they are not stopped. Their original source may be destroyed but their force is still felt.
So, simply look around the world. You are an unstoppable force. People have told you that there are immovable objects out there. They have misled you. All obstacles can be surmounted. All that is static is destined for destruction. As I have said many times... all things change.
