    ](http://what-if.xkcd.com/1/) What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light?

      Let’s set aside the question of how we got the baseball moving that fast. We'll suppose it's a normal pitch, except in the instant the pitcher releases the ball, it magically accelerates to 0.9c. From that point onward, everything proceeds according to normal physics.:
      The answer turns out to be “a lot of things”, and they all happen very quickly, and it doesn’t end well for the batter (or the pitcher)...

    Seeing as you did link to the original, this much ^ would have been enough. As you plagiarised it in full without actually stating it wasn't yours you could have not bothered with the link.
