A marshmallow meteorite hurtling straight toward Earth?
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?

@@Ironcammandoo wtf
i have grammarly already tho, cannot afford the premium one tho.
Do another what if tsunami video
At this point it feels like you guys are just making videos about all my weird dreams 😂😂
I dreamt energy prices going up! 😅
@Remarkably I really wish it were that easy. 🙏
I want them to do my dreams! What if a gargoyle was bowling against a clown? Who would win?
I dreamed of a banana robing a bank and a kid watching adult s thing
@@jetgroundanims9823 what kind of adults things. Never mind I get the picture! 😏
I like how you guys had to make the beat slap while talking about a marshmallow ending us all. Also, I love the premise of the episode because it kinda sounds like whoever wrote the episode just got really high and was like "Dude..... What If a Marshmallow ended us all?"
What If host: We’re going to make a video about a marshmallow ending the planet
Music composer: Say no more
Could a marshmallow go that fast without just completely disintegrating lol
obviously not, but this is just speaking theoretically of course.
"what if"
yes
If marshmallow will hit the earth, I hope it lands in my mouth so I can get alien dna of marshmellow from different planet 😊😁
nothing with mass can move at the speed of light without disintegrating
Being completely destoyed by a marshmallow. How embarrasing would that be for the human race?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aliens: I wonder how this race went extinct?
*random alien finds a youtube video made by What if*
Aliens: That can happen?!
@@bathead8788 - And the next thing you know, those aliens are falling back in their cockpit chairs, laughing their cosmic asses off. Lmfao.
@@neopagan1976 wait hold on
How do we know they have an ass?
Imagine humanity surviving all that massive events and... being extinct because of a marshmallow :|
Intergalactic s’mores just add a planet,chocolate, and marshmallow going at the speed of light.
A question still remains,how long that marshmellow has been in space?
I wonder If the 5 seconds rule applies e-e i would eat it tbh.
@Aayush Chury :( i guess its still edible? Ehh
And that's an story for another 'what if' ?
80000,200056,7777 centuries.
Answer: In the year -2022, Elon Bezos Musket Jeff sent a marshmallow into space.
I really love what if videos. They have answers in my 3 am thoughts. Here's another one of my thoughts, what if the ocean swallowed everything on land and some people managed to live in ships? How would it effect the evolution of mankind and the aquatic animals?
I think they already have a video about that. Thy compared it with waterworld
Watch 2012, it will answer your question (apart from the evolution part)
@@bathead8788 p I o
@@allforsigrid9769 bhi tvokids
These are the important questions humanity needs to ask.
🤣
Imagine being killed by a marshmallow, that would be the worst and the most embarrassing moment of your life.
And last
Personally, I prefer cotton candy at the speed of light. How about a video about that?
Imagine a perfectly cooked marshmallow in the middle of a crater
Or like hot chocolate so we could dip fruits or something in there 😆😍
Y'all don't know how pissed off I would be to die by a marshmallow 😤 🤣
You wouldn’t even be alive to be pissed off knowing that you died by a marshmallow 🤣
But you would be dead
😂 Funny one Brandon! You got me crackin 🤣🤣🤣
No material object may travel at the speed of light. Now, if it was going 99.9999% of the speed of light, it would have so much force as to plow into the Earth, displacing matter dramatically. The sound would resonate long after the actual entry. The resultant ground effects, such as tsunami, earthquake, and lightning, should also be memorable.
I mean, the premise of a "what if" questions demands the acceptance of absurdities. Everyone knows an object with mass cannot travel at light speed, but this what if demands that we accept the premise.
A lot of people that read 99.9999% immediately think "oh it's getting close!!!" but not really.
The concept is that it takes _infinite_ energy to reach the speed of light, so any matter, to a tiny atom? Has _infinite_ kinetic power at that point. It could go 99.999999999999999999% and more, all of it just adding *exponentially* more power behind the tiny object.
TL;DR: If you mention the speed of light WITH mass? Just think infinite energy hitting the planet, doesn't matter what size. Your imagination after something getting hit with UNLIMITED POWAAH
@@shiningarmour6805😮
Me seeing marshmallow falling from the sky :Also me
saying “open wide” also me taking cover behind a building
What if:watch out! There is a object going towards earth at the speed of light!
Me: this must be slow motion x1,000,000
That one guy: *Opens his mouth while looking upwards for no reason*
That one marshmallow: I am about to end this man whole life
Good one 🙂
@@WhatIfScienceShow Omg
What If makes videos on random topics so interesting. Appreciate the hard work. 👍
Fun Fact:
If u drop a marshmallow on a neutron star, It will explode with the energy of a nuclear bomb
👁👄👁
What the f***
Prove it
@@godtoHrD 🗿
broooo@@godtoHrD
Me: What a marshmallow could do to us.
What If: You sure about that
Finally you’re asking the real questions.
this is the video we didn’t know we needed
Why not? :V
Does it mean someone out there in the space making marshmallow and dropping on earth 🤣
7:07 I love how they use the Godzilla meteor scene from Godzilla king of the monsters here well at least that’s what I call it
At 99,9% of the speed of light, the kinetic energy of a 7 gr marshmallow would be about 150.000 times that of the Chelyabinsk meteor. The power of the Chelyabinsk meteor explosion was several times that of the atom bomb on Hiroshima. I Don't think it will matter if it survives entering the atmosphere of the earth. The energy that will be released will do enormous damage
Hay What If, your videos are soo entertaining and educative. Thank you for this video I appreciate it a lot
Thank you, we appreciate your support! 🙂
@@WhatIfScienceShow you earn my respect
What if Japan was the same landmass as China (not suddenly)?
In a very (and I mean very) distant parallel universe, there is a marshmallow movie at the speed of light
Why a marshmallow of all things? That just kinda sounds so random.
The atmosphere would smell amazing!!
Hard to imagine a marshmallow making it through our atmosphere lol
it wouldn't
@@tonyhoable That's why it's hard to imagine
This is one of the most random videos they've ever made
I guess it wouldn't cause any damage because it has less mass or weight as we say it would be squished rightaway
And as he said "it would gain weight" 🤔
Bro force = mass * acceleration see if the mello has a high speed it would hit really hard just like a bullet with less weight but it's really fast that it kills
@@dark4875 that makes sense.
Lesson learned; never let your marshmallow escape your space station.
Wow, this is great science. Maybe it's what killed the dinosaurs! 🦕
Him:- Makes this video
Gray still plays:- 99.9% the speed of light. ROOKIE NUMBERS GODDAMMIT
2100
Son: I see a mass extinction on earth in 2022, How did that happen?
Father: A marshmallow
I will never look at a marshmallow the same way ever again.
I have the answer. If the marshmallows fell towards earth, the Earth's population will not be hungry anymore.
Marshmallows have like no nutritional value so people unfortunately would still be hungry
I can imagine someone in space yeeting a marshmallow from the moon, right towards earth and this would probably be the outcome
love how versatile your ideas are
this is why i am subscribed for mysterious but exciting videos about weird things
Thank you for your support! Stay tuned for more. 🙂
@@WhatIfScienceShow Omg you replied 😱
I love ur vids keep up the work!
@@WhatIfScienceShow What if all the oceans turn into maple syrup?
A marshmallow causing this much damage
**A literal marshmallow** 🗿
the feet squishing in the marshmallow goo got me fired from my job on the spot. Good job.
A marshmallow heading toward earth? What nonsense but delicious
These videos about light speed objects just arent that exciting (but ima still watch it tho) because we know no object can move that fast. I'd rather see what would happen if an object of w.e size hit earth at the maximum speed that an object of that size could possibly move. That way our minds would percieve it as something that could actually happen and would seem more intriguing.
I didnt know a marshmellow could harm the earth so much!!! 😱
I thought it was harmless!!! 😊
What if the lemon hit the earth??
We get fresh juice!!
smores at the speed of light when air compresses it inside our atmosphere
What if space was full of air?
You dead,air pressure will make kill you lol and the sun would get bigger by a lot
Then it wouldn't be the vaccum anymore
I'm craving for marshmallow💀
I like how he used godzilla as an example of a meteor from 2019
Something going that fast would go through the atmosphere so quick, it wouldn't have any time to do anything
I love your videos they always brighten up my day
I'm scared of Marshmallows now 😂
Whis:"Lord Beerus! Please do not spit out your Marshmellow in space! It's disgusting!"
Beerus:"Who cares! No one will get hit by it anyway!"
(A few millisecond later on Earth)
Yamcha : 💀
Out of all things you could've chosen, a marshmallow?? 😂
I never knew I needed this video.
It would melt before it got to earth. Saved you guys time.
If a marshmallow hit the earth i would eat it immediately once it landed.
*GOES TO HEAVEN* “Hey man, how’d you die?”
Me: marshmallow🗿
That is crazy that a marshmallow could hit the earth 🌎
What if the Sun collapsed with a water bubble as big as the Sun itself 😶
Thats the story for another what if
Wow you’re sponsoring with the Grammarly keyboard that’s amazing I haven’t seen commercials about this in a long time so I’m gonna download it right now
Video idea: what if we filled earths oceans with liquid nitdrogon
If that’s just a marshmallow then what would happen with the largest asteroid recorded?
I was thinking why don't humans use the core of other planets to fuel rockets, it would make us faster, we might be able to harvest stars! All we would need is heat proof stuff Lol
this is how you say you ran out of ideas without saying you ran out of ideas
Moving at a speed is impossible
Helical engine :- Hold my beer
Well he did answer my bed time thought 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching! 🙂
The impact would be none, anything that travels at the speed of light, it's mass has to be zero. If that's hypothetically possible then there would be no collision damage.
corrected to 99.99% speed of light to account for mass
Noone:
The People at What if: What If a Marshmallow Hit the Earth at the Speed of Light?
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
When you run out of ideas!
I love Marshmellow's music. ❤
4:08 Mr.Marshmallow is having fun in space today.
This video treats the marshmallow like an everyday asteroid or comet At Light speed models have shown 2 outcomes 1 It passes through the planetTo it destroys the planet you simply can't fathom that amount of kinetic energy a piece of sand going at light speed can take out a planet
Hey What If, what if a large asteroid hit Yellowstone?
*Answer* NO! Mass cannot travel at a speed of light. Only massless particles.
It is possible that objects/mass or in space language: matter can travel faster than light. We found the ends of some most big galaxies spin faster than light. Galaxys are enormous and some are not half but tens of times greater so everything what is at the end of the long stretched galaxy moves so incredibly fast that researchers found that they break the speed of light.
Ay he be spitting facts
Great. Now I’m never eating marshmallows again
"what if a marshmallow hit earth at the speed of light?"
"It can't"
1:21 OMG TASTY’S MAKE IT BIG!! ALVIN AND RIE TOGETHER OMGG
Because of him, I now hate marshmallows
Astronaut: hey bro i got one for u
Other astronaut: thanks man. Oh shoot i dropped it.
Astronaut: end of the world.
Erea 51: *captures an alien*
Aliens: FIRE THE LIGHTSPEED MARSHMELLOWS! ITS PAYBACK TIME BOIS!
do What if every car in the world traveled in the opposite direction from the Earth's rotation at its maximum speed?
Damn!!! We have to think about marsmellow now....
How to make a marshmallow go the speed of light: PUT A WARPDRIVE.
At 1:41 does anyone noticed the marshmallow behind him going to earth? Lol 😂🤣🤣😂
What if a dust particle hit the earth at the speed of light
Ah well the marshmallow would need to go through the earths shield.
It may not seem like much but obviously if it goes that fast then the marshmallow will make a huge dent
1:45: So, I got my essay written and I've been working on it for about a week.
First off, if there was that much green on the earth at 2:55, then that would mean there are no houses and buildings.
that looks normal kind sir
I thought marsh mellows exist on earth only but you helped me that it exist on space thank you so much god bless you🥰
Just remember everybody, if you ever see a shooting marshmallow coming down, just open up the gram cracker and prepare the chocolate bar.
Isn't it funny how everything that hurtles towards earth, always seems to land in North America?
4:35 That looks like it was photoshopped, I need a vacuum chamber
keep in mind there's AIR in them.
btw have you watched the video?
There's currently a man that killed his family and almost killed his brother,he also burned their house because of money problems and recently, scientists found a 4,000 year old mask below the sea and you're worried about a marshmallow at a speed of light? Also pls make a video on what if stands from Jojo's bizzare adventure exists
Mother Earth would just have a marshmallow roast. No big deal.
