How would this sweet space object begin its descent toward our planet? Would the rapid speed of 99. 9% of the speed of light, which is 299, 792 km/s (186, 282 mps, cause the marshmallow to disintegrate in mid-air? What would happen if a marshmallow traveling at light speed actually made contact with Earth?

If a marshmallow were to hit the Earth at the speed of light, it would have a catastrophic impact on the planet.
The speed of light is approximately 299, 792, 458 meters per second, which is incredibly fast. When an object travels at such a high velocity, it carries a significant amount of kinetic energy, which is released upon impact. The impact of a marshmallow traveling at the speed of light would be equivalent to the explosion of a very large nuclear weapon.
The energy released upon impact would be enough to vaporize the marshmallow and create a massive explosion. The blast radius would be enormous, and it would likely cause widespread destruction, including massive fires, tsunamis, and a -nuclear winter- effect, where dust and debris would block out sunlight and cause temperatures to drop. The impact would likely cause mass extinction of species and human death tolls would be in the billions.
It's worth noting that it's not possible for an object to travel at the speed of light, as it violates the laws of physics. The speed of light is considered a cosmic speed limit, and it's impossible for any object with mass to reach it.
Overall, if a marshmallow were to hit the Earth at the speed of light, it would have a catastrophic impact on the planet and would likely cause mass extinction. Since it's not possible for an object to travel at the speed of light, this scenario is purely hypothetical.

You know there was a time when man thought it would be impossible to fly. Even one of the Wright Brothers said that flight was about 100 years away. Now of course this was before they took flight for the first time. So my way of thinking is like this.
Just because we can't travel this fast yet, doesn't mean that we never will. Even as smart as Albert Einstein was, he explain everything. There are parts of physics that break down. Rain and the poor little bumblebees. Physics say that these 2 things are impossible, but yet we see it all the time.
Light is very fast and there's no doubt about it. But light breaks the rules of traveling at that speed. Light is a wave and a particle at the Sametime. So that would mean that the light proton would be infinite in mass. Every light particle would go straight threw us and not stop. So there's an issue right there that breaks the laws of physics. Anyway take care and peace out.
Oh and 1 more thing. Whoever invented the number zero, thanks for nothing.

Sorry mate but you still don't get it. In reality what happens is this: a marshmallow travelling at the speed of light will have infinite energy and infinite mass and this will in turn generate infinite gravity. And this huge gravity will consume the entire universe instantly. Nothing in the universe survives this.
reply

any material that has any kind of Mass cannot travel at the speed of light as an object with mass approaches the speed of light it becomes denser and smaller and requires more energy to push it Forward something but then again it would also disintegrate if it was something like a marshmallow
reply

Nah marshmallow is not hurt tho its like candy not crashing the earth what if
Its normal so. how marshmallow soooooo fast what if so. marshmallow didnt hit the earth--

reply

Marshmallow is just normal not hurt cuz earth is to small but marshmallow is sooo fast man human is just eating marshmallow-------- sorry for laughing what if

So, 8 mins of mindless and not connected blah blah without any real answer about the question you brought up yourself in the headline?
Yeah, blocked.

that's 1 big twinkie
I mean marshmallow

I literally typed the above
comment just before this scene
started showing in your video

Have you ever been shot in the face with a small marshmallow from a pvc marshmallow gun? Yeah. That travels pretty quick and hurts lol
reply

Man your videos are pretty bad. For those looking. The actual content starts at 5: 03.
Quit trying so hard to expand your viewtime.

Actually, the marshmallow would slow rapidly and evaporate from the heat, hitting the ground at a measly 5 meters per second
reply

So. if I wanted to wipe out the human race I just have to go up into space and throw a marshmallow towards the earth?
reply

Yeah this was a major trip video. I agree. I thought for sure the thing would disintegrate into nothing at that speed.
reply

So a marshmallow can-t destroy the earth with that much of speed. Duh waste of time for me watching this video
reply

I swear, sometimes I could swear that you guys hotbox a bit too much to come up with the craziest things.
reply

I could be wrong here but.
Objects with mass travelling at or above the speed of light have infinite mass.

reply

Well I would be ready with my honey grahams and hershy bar and try to catch that toasty sweet metior!
