we just basically said the same thing, except you used more correct wording and I was assuming the trajectory was exactly perpendicular to the plane the hole was in.Quote:

If the speed is very very fast. And the ball is not very good fill with air. Then it will become like Rugby Ball. And you yan put it in your cheramic pen.
But if is still to big. Or very well filled with air. With the increased speed also force of hitting the hole is increased, and beacuse of that when ball hit the hole. It will go into holle.
Sorry, I don't understand. :(Quote:

To "clarify" a bit:
The ball will really contract (not elongate) on the direction of travel. And, no force is necessary (and in fact it complicates the picture beyond the realm of special relativity). The "deformation has nothing to do with the mechanical properties of the ball, and from the ball's own perspective (or rather, the observer on the ball), there will be no deformation at all.
Subject A (thrower) throws Subject B (said ball). A decides to go for the fastball he's been practicing for (a few steroids, but he kinda apologized!) and goes for it. Subject B screams in terror, but it is too late. B has been thrown at a blistering speed of 20,000,001 mph! The whizz of his rubbery flesh skidding against the unforgiving air produces an acrid smell - B is on FIRE! Subject C (fireman) gets the extinguisher, but ALAS - B goes by to fast! A is standing, waiting, preparing for the amazing feat of Subject B meeting Subject D (said hole) in a clash of amazing physics! C is thrown back by the air force created by B. D prepares for impact: "MAN DECK! MAN DECK!". Subject E (other side of hole) screams shrilly in terror of the advancing ball. BOOOOOOOM! B hits D DIRECTLY on target. A pumps his fist up in the air in victory. B SHATTERS D and goes straight through Subject E. Because of the 22.324 dimension universe Subjects A, B, C, D, and E live in, B goes all the way around the world enough times to kill everyone. B finally burns up the last of his energy and EXPLODES, CREATING A GIGANTIMUS BLACK HOLE. This black hole eats EVERYTHING in the universe over a period of 12 hours, then collapses and creates a huge explosion. This explosion, after 15 billion years, is called the "Big Bang" by a large tribe on a planet in a Solar System on the edges of its galaxy.Quote:

Pretty much if you threw it at enormous speed it would go through the earth, but while doing so, the friction between the ball and the air would make it catch fire. It'd pop out in China, where they would eat it like chow mein(or however that's spelled).
Oh i wish i could understand it as well as you do...i'm better with general relativity.
What does this have to do with technology anyway?
man .. i love the way you think , just like i do :DQuote:
