>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 4 04:19:06 2017 No.8955914 >>8952478 Your "rock" would have to weigh at least 3 tons and you would have to throw it at 0.99C. I'm not shitting you, I did the math.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 4 04:20:16 2017 No.8955918 >>8955914 Also I did the math for Everest, because "mountain" is too generic, they are all different.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 4 05:48:51 2017 No.8956004 >>8955914 the rock would disintegrate instantaneously, before hitting the mountain we would have to remove the earth's atmosphere first

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 4 06:04:06 2017 No.8956017 >>8956004 well, yes, IRL you would pretty much incinerate the atmosphere (and everything else) if you threw it that fast.
