The Destructive Power of a Drop of Water at Light Speed, and the Uniqueness of the Marvel World
In a normal technological world, no object with mass could move at the speed of light—trees, houses, ants, even a single grain of sand. Only photons could travel at light speed because they had no mass.
What kind of power would a normal object possess if it moved at light speed while ignoring all forms of loss?
Take a drop of water, for example. Alter its properties so that oxygen, carbon dioxide, ozone, and other gases could not reduce its speed, while ensuring that it would neither evaporate nor freeze under any circumstances.
Next, alter the molecular composition of the water so that it could withstand extreme heat and cold, remaining intact even at light speed.
Then grant it the speed of a photon.
Without question, at such a speed, wherever the drop of water landed, it would cause tremendous destruction.
If it fell into a city, then everything with mass—houses, cars, roads, trees, and so on—would vanish. Even intangible things such as air, radio waves, electromagnetism, digital information, and even sound would cease to exist.
Once a drop of water reached light speed, it would become the most powerful and heaviest object in the universe, easily completely annihilating everything within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
The ground, rocks, houses... everything would disappear within a second, turning into countless tiny particles, some no larger than molecules.
Then, a black hole would form, gradually devouring the entire Earth before expanding and consuming every celestial body.
First the Moon, then Mars, followed by the other planets in the Solar System.
Once the black hole grew to a certain extent, even the Sun would be unable to escape.
That was the power of a drop of water at light speed.
An unimaginable terror.
A mere drop of water could achieve
