What If a Needle Hits the Ocean at the Speed of Light?

- Imagine this time that the needle falls into the ocean. If it fell in the middle of a deserted water area, nothing special would happen. But the most interesting thing would happen if the needle fell about six miles from the shore.

I am no expert but I remember this being explained to me once and it made sense at the time. All these videos showing what destruction will happen if a particular object hits the earth at the speed of light have the same problem. In actuality especially with objects this small the destruction will be far less. See manipulating an equation increase the destructive power up till the speed of light disregards the binding energy for an object. Essentially once the speed reaches the point where the energy exerted on the object is greater than the energy holding the molecules of the object together the object will explode and release it's energy uniformly. This is why comets may detonate in the atmosphere. This is also why when asteroids hit the ground at an angle they don't leave a scar along the ground. They explode in 360 uniformly. So in essence the maximum destruction is no greater than the total mass of the object converted to energy. I don't think the mass of the needle converted to energy would be that great. And if it was the event would likely because the object is so small happen much higher in the atmosphere.
@@Smurkgg not to be a pedant, but the m does stand for mass.
Yup, that is the whole reason that whipple shields work.
Are you saying that the needle or small object's entire mass would be converted to energy? Because if that were the case it would be very destructive. Perhaps I misunderstood you?
@@mr.shepherdspie7958 yes and that's why it's pointless to keep increasing the speed. At a much slower speed you will achieve maximum destruction. As a matter of fact further increasing the speed will eventually make it so that it detonates it's maximum energy further away from the Earth's surface due to the friction from the atmosphere. This is the reason why asteroids hit earth at an angle but the craters form circular patterns like a bomb.
@@mr.shepherdspie7958 btw maybe I wasn't being clear. I'm talking about binding energy. That's the energy that holds an object together. Exceed that the object will fly apart. May be less than the total objects mass converted to energy

"It would have the energy of 100 tons of TNT or the equivalent of 6 bombs dropped on Hiroshima..." Uh, Little Boy was the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and it had an explosive power of 15 Thousand tons of TNT (15 Kiloton). Either you meant to say your needle would have the energy of 100 Kilotons of TNT or it would only be less than 1% as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb.
I was thinking the same thing.
So I checked using the mass of an "average" hand sewing needle (Size 5).
-- That has about 0.14 grams of mass.
-- At "c" that represents a kinetic energy of ~ 6.4E12 J
-- That converts to roughly 1.5 kt of explosive energy
-------
To get to 100kt, you would need a needle roughly 60 times more massive, which means a VERY large specialized needle.
@@fewwiggle But according to physics as we know it, any object with mass that reaches the speed of light, its mass would become infinite. There is your "VERY large specialized needle"....

There are an uncomfortable number of things wrong with this video. Most importantly, a needle (.0003g) traveling at the speed of light (299,792km/s) would deliver 13.48gigajules of energy (.0037GWh). That's 4 tonnes-equivalent of TNT. The recent U.S. Navy air craft carrier explosion test on June 18 was 40 tonnes-equivalent. You can watch THAT video for a better understanding of physics. Also, (3:54) it wouldn't be a "radius" of 125 miles because of the wind (most likely conical in shape toward Kazakhstan border) and the proposed cloud over Lake Karachay wouldn't be a nuclear "mushroom" cloud: it'd be cylindrical because the incoming needle would have super-heated the air surrounding it on its way in from space.

I worked an IT job about 11 years ago, where four co-workers and I spent a full working day passing a piece of paper between us, adding calculations to it every moment moment we got breaks from actively working on support tickets.
By the end of the day, not only had we calculated the impact of the live hamster hitting the ground at 50% the speed of light, but we had sketched out an orbital delivery system for the payload. The trick is to raise the hamster in orbit under a few months of 1g spin acceleration - the tricky bit is the energy cost, and the hand-off to the vacuum cylinder required to prevent the hamster from impacting the atmosphere before it hits the ground. Also, after working out the rough materials cost, I seem to recall a note saying we "might need to sell France :(".

It should be simple enough to calculate the energy required. I'm happy with my 'cubic sheetload' estimate.
Dude imaaaaagine
The mass of a sewing needle is .58 grams. The kinetic energy of that needle would be 116,509,180,251 MJ at .9999999C. That would produce the energy equivalent of 27.8 Megatrons. That would put that over the castle bravo explosion and less than the tsar bomba explosion. The damage from both detonations is well documented. Your math is way off.

I guess he meant the temperature.
Like Drake said - it wasn't the best way of putting it, but he probably meant that the whole greenhouse effect and overheating would be like a milder ("mini") version of what happens on Venus. For him to imply Earth would be just like Venus, but smaller, 1) Earth would need to actually be smaller, and 2) the conditions would have to end up exactly like Venus - which I don't think is what he was getting at.

Not gonna lied, the needle that hit the earth with speed of light seems pretty good idea for an anime fights
Can we appreciate how good the thumbnail is? The graphic designer needs some serious raise.
Unless you speed the needle up gradually... a needle can't be accelerated to that speed. I actually think though the needle would explode the instant it hit the atmosphere and wouldn't make it as far as the ocean below. It's more likely to obliterate our atmosphere than it is to reach the surface.
true, also if it wasnt for the atmosphere burning away stuff we would have to worry about being hit by asteroids, tiny asteroids burn up all the time in our atmosphere and without it we would have craters everywhere like the moon.

“Gordon, put the needle in the collider!”
I think nothing would happen and it would just go straight through until it had to stop. Small pebbles have a ripple effect, in water, but tiny things going fast would just cut right through water, leaving almost no notice at all, the water moved would create some movement but not much because a needle doesn't displace water much. My statement is not based on data, just a natural observation. The needle would be too small to displace much water. A bullet goes through rock until it stops, but something so small going so fast would just pass right through, very little dust.
The Needle would probably burn at the intense friction before hitting the water.
But the energy it will release and friction particles 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah it would disintegrate way before reaching the water.
no it wouldn't, since it says "hit" the water, so it has to atleast touch it
@@sophon238 The needle would disintegrate even before reaching 99.99% lightspeed

Forreal though, as soon as I heard 6x more powerful then fat man then followed by the world ending I realized once again this channel is retarded
I've been talking out loud just about how dumb the thumbnail is. There are so many factors to include, and parameters. Needle burning upon atmosphere entry and possibly turning into dust before it reaches the ocean due to friction. But even if it reaches the ocean, it's entering a cold liquid. Liquid would ruin its whole momentum and would not even go that deep, maybe a mile or 2. Yet literally nothing would happen. This is such a stupid video premise. Not to mention the lightness of the object and the small surface area of the needle point would give it very little force.

Dont Try It
The thing is, when water is flashed to steam the amount of steam is not equivalent to the amount of water that was evaporated in an instant. It’s actually roughly 1400x more volume than the original amount. I’m a plumber apprentice and the first thing my journey man taught me was boiler systems flashing to steam. Because those things if super heated could explode if not handled carefully.
So instead of 2 million tons of water being turned into 2 million tons of steam. It would actually be 2 millions tons of water being turned into 2.8 billions tons of steam.

Same thing I believe. Shape matters and because it is a needle it will by default have a localised effect. If it was less pointy it would naturally have broader repercussions. It is basically the same as hitting the earth with a high powered laser.

There seems to be some discrepancy with some of the figures given here. Mention is made, at 01:53 that the needle would have the energy of 100tons of TNT which is followed by a claim that it would be the equivalent of 6 bombs dropped on Hiroshima. The yield of the Hiroshima bomb (Little Boy) was approximately 15 kilotons! In any case, if 100 tons is correct, there have been far worse explosions, for example, in December 1917 and explosion of an estimated strength of 2.9 kilotons occured when a ship carrying amunition, picric acid, guncotton and benzol. The explosion killed over 2,000 people and the blast was felt 129 miles away in Cape Breton.
A phenomenon similar to the magnetic funnel situation was actually presented in _Thunderbirds Are Go_ Season 1 Episode 4 _Heavy Metal,_ where the Supreme Hadron Collider in New Geneva malfunctions and creates a large gravitational vortex reaching to low-Earth orbit level, and Gordon Tracy has to destroy the collider with a missile from Thunderbird 4, the only Thunderbird vehicle strong enough to withstand the gravitational pressure, to stop the self-sustaining reaction. This proves to be difficult, as Thunderbird 4 is a submersible and, being unable to manœuvre on its own in the air, has to be lowered in from above by Thunderbird 2’s magnetic grapple. (The series is set in 2060)
Therapist (who is also a physics genius) : Objects traveling at light speed aren't real. They can't hurt you
Hadron collider : tornado go brrrrr
A needle hitting the atmosphere at that speed would vaporize into a quark-gluon plasma instantly, the amount of energy within that object is unimaginable. It wouldn't even reach the surface...
im giving him the benefit of a doubt and assuming a larger object reduced to the size of a needle by impact even then.. no one would notice lol unless it hits your dog in the head lol
He didn't say what the needle was made out of tho
@@estoylaroca well if it is made out of matter it will still be slowed down and reduced to almost nothing so it does not make a difference whatever it is made of
@@joaralvrud1646 a hypothetical dark matter needle
@@MrElvis1971 a hypothetical anti matter dark matter needle
Hypothesis! The needle would have to journey from space, and would most likely vaporize by friction in our atmosphere.
Huge love from INDIA
Your voice as well as data, effort, everything is top notch... wanna really meet u and your team one day in future...
It's amazing that there's scientists who can explain the consequences of scenarios that could never possibly happen, and then there's scientists who send people to the moon, and then immediately forget how they did it. 😁 It really does take all kinds
I forgot what I had for breakfast so it checks out...
Well, it isn't really true since it isn't confirmed. We can just conclude it at that.
They didn't forget how they did it. They dismantled the infrastructure used to do it and now lack the necessary funding and expertise to rebuild it. So they have to build everything again from the ground up.
@@materialnothing2742 yeah sure I'm sure going to Mars cost less.....
@@happytrailsgaming They aren't sending people to Mars, are they? It's cheaper to send *rovers* to Mars than to send *people* to the moon.
It got recommended for me again after they changed the thumbnail lol
One thing that could happen is the force of the sound of the needle would kill you because the sound wave has a really high amplitude.
“Alright, so we’re playing the only game where you can Yeet a needle at Florida, causing massive depression… It’s Universe Sandbox.” -Fanmade GrayStillPlays Intro
@Doc Holiday I didn’t know someone made that as well. Sry
This guy’s imagination is so great we would have to write a book about everything he has talked about
What if a needle hits my ass at a speed of light?
If u want this to be fr it depends where it hits, on a certain area, also the size of the needle but let's say it's the default syringe needles it can go through that certain area which I'm not sure where is but it's somewhere around ur ass and it would pass and u won't feel it but I don't think u will die at all just immense pain after a bit and u might not feel it as well
Pretty sure it would incinerate someone with even the small amount of energy dropped
“Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today!”
"Imagine having a perfectly good day that is of unrealistic quality and then its ruined and you die" no no thanks I'll pass.
"Nothing can travel faster than 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second). Only massless particles, including photons, which make up light, can travel at that speed. It's impossible to accelerate any material object up to the speed of light because it would take an infinite amount of energy to do so."
So it would happen nothing, literally.
In some cases, when it comes to opposite forces, it would be even more impossible for an object to reach that speed without disintegrating itself first.
Not impossible, just not attainable yet. Attaining and controlling the speed of light would change the future of the human race.
Then we should talk about those things when we'll be able to seriously evaluate a real scheme.
Otherwise is just fiction.
@@4u2cme69 I guess the Vulcans will continue to pass us by
This helps me understand a lot of what I see in our weather now
It's all just a bunch of needles falling at different speeds, our weather is simple.
I wish videos like these can get straight to the point
