Title: What if...
Post by: Monsterlover on March 08, 2015, 06:10:19 PM
I can't stop reading these.

This one is about what happens if a baseball gets thrown at 90% the speed of light.

There's an archive link at the bottom.

Nothing about a treadmill that I've seen so far ;D

Love this part:

"A careful reading of official Major League Baseball Rule 6.08(b) suggests that in this situation, the batter would be considered "hit by pitch", and would be eligible to advance to first base."
