After some attempts, I met with the many possible meanings of "unstoppable".
Anyhow, if the force is strong and non-stop while the concerned object is unbreakable, according to Newton's third law on action and reaction, overall speaking, the two concerned parties will still move nearer or move further apart, depending upon whether the force is attractive or repelling.
But this time, unlike ordinary situations, only the source of the force moves while the object doesn't move.
(just a joke: according to Big Bang Theory, everything moving apart. So, an immovable object is possible only in a thought experiment.)
