Sorry, I don't understand. :(


The deformation due to high speed has nothing to do with malleability.

I was only interested what would happen from a relativistic point of view, and I think...

Yes, that was what I was trying to say in the post above.

The high speed of the ball doesn't change anything in this case.

OK, I think I've figured something out.
If the ball travels perpendicularly towards the hole, the ball will only look shorter in the direction of motion to the observer. The ball will look like...

The position doesn't matter, only the relative speed to the ball.

No.

Let's say we have a ball and a hole. The ball is slightly larger than the hole, so it won't fit.

Now we throw the ball at an enormous speed direclty towards the hole. What happens?
