About

The Action Lab is a channel dedicated to performing exciting experiments and answering questions you never thought to ask! Please enjoy as I answer the "what would happen if..." questions you have. Feel free to comment with any questions you have about anything. I have my PhD in Chemical Engineering and I want to share how awesome science and experimentation can be!

Video Description

In this video I show you what would happen if the earth were to be hit by a grain of sand going 99.9% the speed of light. I talk about the physics of it and then I try bigger objects hitting earth at near light speeds.
