Black hole traps light, that is correct, but therefore it has moved to a new point, point X at the end of a black hole.

Yes, it can be always moving, because there was no start, or there will be no end, so it just HAS always been moving. Just accept it and move on.

Nothing is unstoppable, inertia would eventually bring it to a stop. And no momentum would continue "forever". By your "unstopable" definition, the object could be going less than a foot per hour but be unstopable still. What good would this do?

So it would depend mostly on the speed. But, by "imoveable" immobile would be a better word. They'd contact, but it would depend on the speed and mass of the moving object to determine the distance it bounces off or if there isn't enough speed it just stops at the immobile object.

And light has no mass, so intertia wouldn't apply to it. But, would reflect off the immobile object to be visible by others.

Light is atleast partly destroyed when there are shadows..

Actually if you think about it, this is more similar to Gamma rays, which pass through most matter and then bounce once reaching a high level of thickness or pressure, and will go on and on because of the rules of action and reaction.

You miss understand my moving object, it cannot be stopped by anything but to get it moving is impossible, so if you want it to be moving, you have it so it has ALWAYS been moving, no matter the time, because it was never started and then start moving, it was just moving.

Light is a wave. it cannot be destroyed. it is created, absorbed and reflected, never destroyed...

But you can trap it.

And you can slow it down, they managed to get it to go at 37mph, why not make it go to zero.

The imovable object has infinite mass, so no amount of force can move it, no matter what.
The unstopable force is moving (the speed dosent matter) and it hits the object, it CANT move it, so the only thing that can happen if for it to change direction away from the object.
The question is like a riddle, but there is no twist or anything, you just have to look at it for what it is and the answer is obvious.

If the imovable object has infinite mass, there won't be room for an unstopable object. "infinite" would take up every single millimeter of the universe.

What about outside of the universe? If the upstoppable mass never stops it would leave the universe?

And how might this be tested? And it would depend how the universe is modeled if you can "Exit" it. There's really no way to know, just theory.

Well, you know that Space isn't nothing, but actually a complex mix of reactions going off at all times and that a vacuum doesn't really apply to it.

Therefore you might say the limit of the Universe is the limit of "Real Space" and once you get past "Real Space" and enter the true vacuum then you are outside the Universe.

An object with infinite mass...the size dosent matter, it could be the size of a pinhead.

This is something I thought about before(and what Cheeze said does make sense... kinda...)
Well, my guesses have always been:
A. They pass through each other
B. The object deflects
C. The object slides around/breaks into a fork and meets itself on the other side
D.The object compresses against the wall. Since it's compressing, it is moving, kinda, even if it's not really getting anywhere, right?(not sure on this kinda stuff)

Wow, you just made my head hurt thinking about the universe...
I'm all lonely, thinking about the edge of the universe. Does it exist? Are there other universes? You know how suckage it would be to be stuck in the true vacuum far far away? If humans ever manage to get out of the Milky Way, I'll be amazed. Right now we're so technologically backwater compared to what we'll be in 500 years it won't even be funny. Think fusion energy : ) Harnessing the power of the sun! It's sad to think that eventually all of this will be over, unless we somehow become god-like in our own right, which by then we won't be what we consider to be human anymore due to billions of years of evolution. In fact, this fragile society we have created is the on the brink of destruction. We have developed nuclear missiles, with enough to destroy the world many, many times over. Yes, when the last sun winks out, unless we are so advanced that we a) somehow create matter or b) somehow "refuel" or reconstruct stars, we will die lest the human race is already dead.

This has to be SADDEST thing I've ever written. Look at it this way: nearly every path down the human line leads to screwdom. Face it: we're screwed (sure we have billions of years, but that's beside the point!).
