This reminds me of a 1945 science fiction story "Things Pass By" http://www.troynovant.com/Franson/Leinster/Things-Pass-By.html Not about an impact, but just the effects of very fast but small objects passing nearby with huge relativistic mass -- enough to cause earthquakes etc. From: Eric Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 8:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:[OT]Star Object Ejection Process On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 6:13 AM, Hoyt A.

There's an interesting xkcd writeup on a similar question (posed by an eight year-old): "If a meteor made out of diamond and 100 feet in diameter was traveling at the speed of light and hit the earth, what would happen to it?” http://what-if.xkcd.com/20/ Eric --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
