Launching BANANA at EARTH at the speed of LIGHT! #astr0knowledge #space #astronomy

Shouldn't have banana burned in the atmosphere?

A banana falling onto our earth at lightspeed would disintegrate nearly as soon as it enters our atmosphere

(Here's ChatGPTs explanation of what would happen) At the speed of light, relativistic effects dominate. For an object with mass, traveling at the speed of light is theoretically impossible according to Einstein's theory of relativity. However if it were to happen, the banana would possess infinite kinetic energy.
Atmospheric Interaction: As soon as the banana entered the atmosphere at such an immense speed, the friction with air molecules would cause an instantaneous release of its kinetic energy. This energy release would be so rapid and enormous that it would result in a massive explosion before it even reached the ground.
Disintegration: The energy involved would be so great that the banana would disintegrate instantaneously, releasing energy comparable to a large nuclear explosion. The disintegration would occur at such a high altitude that the explosion would create a massive fireball and shockwave.
Impact Consequences: The resulting explosion would cause widespread destruction, as previously mentioned. The atmospheric disintegration would result in a tremendous release of energy, causing significant thermal and blast effects.
In conclusion, the banana would not simply burn up or disintegrate harmlessly; instead, it would release its enormous kinetic energy upon atmospheric entry, resulting in a catastrophic explosion and widespread destruction.

This video is made considering that there is no atmosphere to burn the banana.

The reason most people didn’t die is because he hid the middle of a desert

If this thing hit the atmosphere, i think it would actually treat it like a brick wall. You know how you break your legs jumping into water from high up? The same idea, at a way higher speed, in a different medium. The atmosphere would explode and the earth would be bathed in fire and debris from the explosion reaching down from space tearing up a continental shelf.

Try the astroid that killed the dinosaurs at 1C

Actually, the speed of light is way faster than this. It only takes like 1.2 seconds from earth to moon

is this video stolen ? this guy just makes edits

That sim is pathetic and you know it OP
