collisions
Objects striking together
Collisions are instances of objects striking each other, often with force: The collision totaled both cars.
The word extends to any clash or conflict—a collision of ideas, cultures, or interests.
In computing, a collision occurs when two pieces of data compete for the same space or identifier.
They were on a collision course from the start.
