The Argument from Common Usage
eckenheimer17y10

To respond to Caledonian's question: "What happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force?"

The result will be to rename one of the two. I'd bet on the immovable object to "win" merely on a hunch that maximum inertia beats maximum momentum. (I'm only half kidding, though I have no proof or even a plausible hypothesis to support my bald-faced assertion.)
