What if a single atom were to hit you at 99% of the speed of light? would it vaporize you?

A regular hydrogen atom
Brandon Bennett
It would be very painful.
Logan Garcia
for you

FIRST ONE TO TALK GETS TO STAY ON MY ELECTRON CLOUD
Aiden Fisher
>mass*acceleration
nope.
Ryder Cooper
Seriously though, it would have no effect at all. It would be many millions of times less than the effect of a small bullet.
David Nelson
no, its been done.
Michael Thomas
what if my BBC hit your wifes vagina at lightspeed?
Xavier Adams
Perhaps he is wondering why would you share an electron after transfering it to a higher energy level
Lucas Brooks
you don't get to bring neutrons
Brandon Cox
Chase Jenkins
What's the next step in your master's degree experiment?
Liam Ross
Fissioning this Atom.
Oliver Walker
What if I stepped into the beam inside the LHC?
Michael Baker
with no survivors?
Jeremiah Flores
Would probably burn before hitting the target
Nathan Perez
>99% of the speed of light
That's a lot of speed
Jose Barnes
I think i got hit by helium nuclei a lot of times in my life.
Angel Thompson
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.
Nicholas Martinez
You're a big atom
Jordan Wood
For you
And you too
Joseph Bell
A proton beam is not a "single atom"
Brandon Long
s/burn/end up in jail/
Jose Foster
What if it was a uranium atom or something? Would it be a miniature fission bomb?
Jordan Miller
no.
Jonathan Gonzalez
you get cancer
Owen Rivera
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.
Jose Ross
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.
Elijah Hernandez
No that isn't likely at all I'm afraid, user
Cameron Wilson
an atom flying at 0.99c would only be ~7times heavier, so not much.

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.

No! they expect one of us to scatter, brother
Adam Sullivan
>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.
