What If a Drop of Water Fell to the Earth at the Speed of Light? 

At the speed of light the mass of the drop will become infinite... But it would also have taken an infinite amount of energy to push it to the speed of light. One of the reasons that things with mass cannot reach the speed of light!

There is a lot of mistakes. Both classic and relativistic physics. First, how does the sound will travel in the pipe if there is a void, remember is a mechanic wave, so it won't travel thru the void. Second, to make some thing with goes as the speed of light, you will need infinite energy. Third, when accelerate things at speed that are pretty close to the speed of light (such as we do in the particle accelator where we accelerate charged particles with mass) they don't gain mass, they gain energy. That's a very common misunderstanding thing about special relativity. According to the theory the "relativistic mass" is defined by M= m_o (1/sqrt(1-((v)/(c) )^2 so when the velocity of the particle approch to the c, the relativistic mass increase, but that only means that the particle have more energy but m_o (the mass of the particle in rest) remains constant. That's why we don't create black hokes in the particle accelators . And there so many many misunderstanding of physics and wrong theories in this video. Unfortunately it disappoint me . So you know guys, don't believe everything you see in internet.

I love your videos Bright Side.

It is an excellent and fantastic video to watch

Way to go water drop guy! 😮

Love watching these

I was not expecting the end 😳

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the darks thoughts, the overthinking, the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life...

We only know the 2-way speed of light. Meaning, we’ve only calculated the speed of light after being reflected. This could mean that light travels faster when going a certain direction, but I guess we’ll never really know.

fun fact nobody knows what the speed of light is actually

This Guy Took "A Single Drop of Water Can Make Your World Shatter" To A Whole Other Level

Something I do not understand is why the mass becomes infinite when the speed is not infinite

We see huge drop of water from sky 😱, water hits earth 🌊, humans 💀 lol 😆

i love this vidioe

love Bright side hope get a shout out love u (:

Wouldn't that drop of water won't accelerate if it is already at light speed? I think there are many things wrongs in this presentation/thought experiment

Nice Video, bright side!

That escalated quickly.

That was really a Powerful explosion that makes a Black Hole for a Water at the Speed of Light 💧🌀

Listening to a person talking about space is like listening to a lullaby.... nothing you understand you just endup feeling sleepy...doozing then you sleep yet you want the lullaby to continue..

GrayStillPlays: allow me to introduce myself me and other graystillplays viewers: EVERYONE SCATTER Gray: *evilly laughing*

I am amazed on how much fuel that jetpack has

So ships that fly at the speed of light are a no no...

Can you imagine if that water guy dropped a gallon of water, the universe would implode

So cool how do they know that 🤔

Mad scientist: WRITE THAT DOWN

Love u wish luck

These videos are so addicting

Ok so this information must not be told to people with one day left to live

love videos like these🌻

I love ur channel and thank u for teaching me this

Today i know lot of things

Bright Side Could Make A Gaming Channel Called gaming amazed

At the speed of light the mass of the drop wil become infinite...But it would also have taken an infinite amount of energy to push it to the speed of light. One of the reasons that things with mass cannot reach the speed of light! Masses is the energy

I'm pretty sure GrayStillPlays already answered this question

Never knew that a drop could be, you know, TREMENDOUS!

Very informative

Anything with mass that goes to the speed of light will become a black hole because anything the goes to the speed of light will have infinite mass black holes are formed by putting a lot of mass in a small area

I think someone has been watching GrayStillPlays' Universe Sandbox videos a few too many times and then tried to ask the question seriously.

Hi

私はホワイトホールの異なるバージョンのブラックホールに焦点を当てています

man ive not watched this guy in months

give credit to the cameraman, he must be a chad

Back in the day they though a person would explode before a car reached 100 MPH if they were in the car.

I'm a bit confused... If the water droplet of light erased the pipe wouldn't it eventually too slow down or evaporate at that point anyways? Another thing we have light everywhere so if it was enough to form light in the first place wouldn't it have just fazed through us or the earth at that point? I'm not trying to second guess you and your video was intriguing I will admit that I was just adding my own questions from what I learned in school growing up and the knowledge that is placed out there now. I don't have all the facts about space and time and light and dark so I'm no super genious so I might have missed something in that gap. Still as confused as I am this gave me chills and knowing humans being ever curious I wouldn't be surprised if there was a scientist out there thinking about this experiment right now, you could be a scientist for all I know hahaha! Sorry just trying to make light of things. {--- get it? Guess we should look on the bright side of things... Okay I will stop now.

43M subs???? WHAT SINCE WHEN

Hiya

3:24 now I know what they use to make Nokia unbreakable

we are inside a black hole that's why space is black lol

Nice

Black holes don’t have infinite mass. Not sure what you meant by that part of the video.

Lot of work just to drop one drop of water🤷🏽‍♂️

Hơi bị thik nữ hoàng Elizabeth

A needle, check drop of water check , what next? a grain of salt, rice etc. Or maybe a dust or powder? So interesting....

These space videos are really handy. I am creating a planet for a fanfic whih work like this way: Well the Earth like planet has somewhat the size of Krypton/Jupiter and has 3 suns and four moons. The planet is a p type triple star system. But i kinda wondered if our sunsystem was on a p type typle star system place where should the habitable zone be and how does a p type triple star system affect day/night and wether? Calculated the year already and it would take 9 years to orbit the suns. Also calculated montss and number of weeks. For the contunents i was planning that they have a Australia like weather. I personally think Jupiter and Saturn would be in the habitable zone if our sun was a p type triple star system. What do you think about this planet? Again this planet is for a fanfic i am working on and contains inteligent life form. The spiecies is Alita battle angel/Borg(Star Trek) like. What do you think?

The sun is big enough to have 10.00 Earths

Welp that was unfortunate at lease we have a way of generating energy now!!!🤣🤣😂😂

Well that escalated quickly

💜

Light and other massless particles btw

earth became nine tails 6 paths

Fun fact: the speed of light will go around the earth in 0.13 seconds, that will be 8 frames on a device.

Thank you so much for telling me but where is the logic and how do you know about all of this

hii

Oh I'm in trouble 😅

genie: ok kid what do you wish for you have 1 wishes kid: *i wish to walk of the speed light* 🥺 genie: uhhh.. 💀

Instant complete oblideration of local space. Yep.

Second comment✋

I don't have enough patience to observe that or think of that

crazy

Early gang!

No gravity in space right

Based by the thumbnail, it should've been named the moon

@ 0:50 how is there air resistance if there's no atmosphere 🤔

Lol that would not work since helicopters needs air for lift I think. So the higher it is the harder for helicopter to fly to that place.

So you mean that a drop of water going at the speed of light made those black holes i mean that makes sense how the black holes are created Edit:This is just a joke so no correcting me.

Well if u drop it from space the drop will fly up cuz there is no gravity

moral of the story: never let water droplet to fall.

Speed kills

Okay so this video about about 37 minutes ago with 3.3k views and yeah 31 comments (32 including mine)

Im not going to get pinned, i know it.

"This all happens due to a single drop of water" 😶

Drop of cell. Not an issue, World is full of cells

what if insect were big like human

At the speed of light, there are two numbers. ♾ and 0.

Owtch things hurt and are dangerous.

11th

I don"t know

I just realized that this channel has more subscribers than Mr beast

12th

it would evaporate

Who knew a drop of water can destroy the whole world

Simple, it cannot.

The inside of a black hole is not unknown The real name of it is The shadow Relm There's nothing inside here No oxygen No light No speed No nothing

Its just gonna evaporate with the heat

GrayStillPlays be like

But helicopters can't fly with no air.

See guys, Noting happened

You forgot to include waitlessness in space. Won't the dop of water just float in space if you did that expatmint.
