Space/Science » in reply to re: A neutron star in a hurry!! A Chandra discovery

Your proposal is NONSENSE

1) This Neutron star is moving at 3 million mph

2) It has approx one Solar mass (1.9 e30 kg)

Assume a Jupiter-sized body hit it...

Mjup = 1.9 e27 kg = 1/1000 MSun

Therefore, the planet must have been travelling at one THOUSAND million mph This is FASTER than the speed of light.

Either you have discovered a whole new physics that allows planet-sized bodies to accelerate to the speed of light, and beyond

OR

You are talking total nonsense.

I leave it to the educated reader to decide...
