What if a single atom were to hit you at 99% of the speed of

>>8711531
A regular hydrogen atom

>>8711531
It would be very painful.

>>8711541
for you

>>8711531
FIRST ONE TO TALK GETS TO STAY ON MY ELECTRON CLOUD

>>8711531
>mass*acceleration
nope.

>>8711531
Seriously though, it would have no effect at all. It would be many millions of times less than the effect of a small bullet.

>>8711531
no, its been done.

>>8711531
what if my BBC hit your wifes vagina at lightspeed?

>>8711557
Perhaps he is wondering why would you share an electron after transfering it to a higher energy level

>>8711535
you don't get to bring neutrons

What's the next step in your master's degree experiment?

>>8711609
Fissioning this Atom.

What if I stepped into the beam inside the LHC?

>>8713004
with no survivors?

>>8711583
Would probably burn before hitting the target

>>8711531
>99% of the speed of light
That's a lot of speed

I think i got hit by helium nuclei a lot of times in my life.

>>8711531

Happens all the time due to alpha decay of radioisotopes, except instead of a single proton it's a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

>>8711541
You're a big atom

>>8713023
For you
>>8713012
And you too

>>8711607
A proton beam is not a "single atom"

What if it was a uranium atom or something? Would it be a miniature fission bomb?

>>8713866
no.

you get cancer

>>8713866
You know fission bombs are only bombs because there's a chain reaction, right?
You can't have a chain reaction if there's no chain.

>>8711531
Photons are one day likely to be seen as a particle resembling an atom, but with smaller sub-particles. Photons go at 100% c, so it probably depends on mass. And if it did pass through us, it'd probably be only ONE sub-microscopic hole and not harm enough molecules in its path to be fatal.

>>8713996
No that isn't likely at all I'm afraid, anon

>>8711531

an atom flying at 0.99c would only be ~7times heavier, so not much.

>>8711531

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2F2*(1%2F(sqrt(1-((0.99c)%5E2)%2Fc%5E2)))*1.67*10%5E(-27)kg*(0.99c)%5E2

this is the kinetic energy of a hydrogen atom at 0.99c (mass times velocity squared/2). I have included the relativistic effects on mass (hence the lorence factor before the mass of the hydrogen atom, which is 1.67*10^-27), but for 0.99c it is only about 7, so it doesn't really make much difference.

>>8714210
*lorentz factor

>>8713008
No! they expect one of us to scatter, brother

>>8714210
>10^-10 Joules

I think we're safe.

How much mass do you need to get the energy of an AK-47 round (2kJ)?

~10^13 atoms, meaning 10^-10 moles , so aproximately 0.1 nanogram

That also means that a 10 gram bullet at that speed would have ~10^14 Joules of energy, aproximately 24 kilotons of TNT.
