Question

DB 3: What is Omnipotence?

 

What would happen if an unstoppable object met an immovable object? This question is about the nature of omnipotence or being “unstoppable”. Assuming an omnipotent being can do anything, could an omnipotent being make such items? If so, what would happen? If not, why not? (Special Note: This question is not about “would” an omnipotent do this, but “could” it do this. Also, consider that “unstoppable” might mean “cannot be turned toward a different direction” and “immovable” might mean “cannot be moved or passed through.”)
