From what I've picked up in physics class, a force can change the shape of an object temporarily or permanently. So an object doesn't have to be destroyed by a force, only be dented temporarily. If the object is immovable, however, you cannot alter it's shape with any force no matter how big. So, no energy is spent on moving the object and all the force is redirected, except for the force lost on fricture (if that's the english term) but since the force is infinately large, that wouldn't have any effect on the force at all. Now there's another rule that says something like the angle at wich something hits the object is also the angle at wich it leaves the object. So, should the obect be a sphere, the force would go back to where it came from... I guess. Like I said before, it's unlikely that this could occur...

you can not discuss two made-up objects with physical rules. because they are beyond the bonds of this physical world. what is infinite? our rules cannot apply to such things. we cannot even look at the cause-effect, they maybe able to do some bizzare things completely out of our comprehesion, say the object maybe able to speak spanish (weird? nope)... who knows, so even my own comments is not accurate

we cannot pretend to understand something we dont understand
