  • In this video I show you what would happen if the earth were to be hit by a grain of sand going 99.9% the speed of light. I talk about the physics of it and then I try bigger objects hitting earth at near light speeds.

    This is how I've always imagined the main weapon on the Death Star working. It looks like lasers, but no directed energy weapons could have that much energy. However, the Empire plainly had mastery of controlling and creating gravity and hypervelocity. So, I imagined that the lasers were mostly aiming devices for the forces used to fix an extremely massive, yet small object, in front of the divot. The object was already massive and it had a special gravity generator on it. The final laser, directed toward the planet, served as another aiming device. Other forces caused the massive yet small object to quickly accelerate to 99.9% of the speed of light, while it's onboard gravity generator increased it's mass to something like that of a small planetoid. When that object struck the planet at that speed, no more planet. The three aiming lasers may have even been pumping a last bit of energy into the warhead, which it used to provide extra power to its gravity generator.

      @@IdkYoYo What is likely to happen (grain of sand going 99.9999 and some 9's percent speed of light) hitting the earth is that while the grain itself would likely lose cohesive structure, it's own time is seriously dilated, it will have gone through the earth completely in a microsecond from its own sense of time. As measured from Earth, at 3x10^8 meters per second, and Earth has a radius of about 6300 kilometers? Trying to do this from memory... 6378 km so not bad memory. Anyway, from Earth vantage point it would seem to take 20 milliseconds to go through Earth.
      Energy can be depleted by a shockwave but that depends on the velocity of a shock in rock, so I'm not going to try right now but the only energy transfer could be to the atoms directly in front of the grain of sand and they will be compressed and stuck to the grain and start traveling with it; a HUGE transfer of energy accelerating to .999999 speed of light more or less instantaneously so in very likelihood what comes out the other side aren't the same atoms that went in, but the bundle of energy will go through the earth and popping out the other side will be approximately the mass and energy that went in but having exchanged some atoms along the way.
      The tremendous energy to accelerate an atom will be taken from the trailing atoms and they'll probably just stop.

When they finally locate the homeworld of the aggressors, the humans launched 500,000 metric tons of Mars dust @99.92C, ( Poetic justice for the total annihilation of the Mars colony ) timed to split up and spread out so as to cover and hit half the planet, twice, half a rotation apart. (I don't remember if it was 500Kt twice, or split in half though) Long story short, it took out every ship and station in orbit, roasted the surface to over 700 degrees c to a depth of 100 feet, +/-, vaporized the oceans and blew away most of the atmosphere.

    There was an opportunity missed here to teach about the special properties of light speed. Instead of increasing the mass, increase the speed from 99.9 to 99.99 then 99.999... even a grain of sand could wipe out the earth if it is close enough to light speed.

      And it probably accurately reflects what would happen. Relativistic speeds are nuts. A bullet weighs +- 10 grams and is quite blunt. Yet even at 650 m/s it does A LOT of damage. And with growing speed, the damage increases proportionate to the speed squared, so it's that exponential growth Elon likes to talk about.

    I remember finding a site back in the mid 00s which included an app where you could find out the results of hypothetical meteor, comet and asteroid impacts with Earth, it allowed you to select the composition and size of the impactor and enter a handful of other variables like speed, trajectory, and whether it struck land or the ocean. It also imposed upper limits on everything to provide more real-world results, so no 100 mile wide, tungsten asteriod traveling the speed of light scenarios allowed. Of course, after seeing what damage smaller rocks would cause regionally, I scaled up for planetary mayhem, and got pretty good at destroying all life on the planet, but there was a single time, don't recall the numbers I plugged in, but it was an iron asteroid at the upper size limit, and the results were all Earth's oceans were vaporized. One happened that one time and regardkess of what I tried I was never able to repeat those results again.
