"What happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object?"
well, for a force to be truly "unstoppable" it would have to have infinite energy, and for an object to be truly "unmovable" it would have to have infinite mass, and the only time when either of these conditions could be perceived as "met" would be when all matter and energy is in a state of singularity, so when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object, a universe is born through a big bang.

That presupposes you know anything about the conditions which caused the big bang or that a universe is possible to be created inside another universe.

I like your thinking until you get to the Big Bang part. The fact that relativity predicts a singularity of infinite mass, force etc at some point in the past could well be a defect in the model rather than a point in its favour. In physical mathematics, my understanding is that infinite answers are unphysical. Relativity is incomplete because it neglects very small physical scales.
Also, my understanding is that the total mass-energy of the universe is either zero, very large or infinite, depending on the presence of negative mass-energy and/or the full extent of the universe.

well that's just, like, your opinion, man
