Angle of Attack

October 26, 2012

Before you watch this video, imagine that you are riding a massive dark matter particle, probably emitted from the sun during high solar activity and  coming in at a low orbital approach angle towards Earth.  Imagine that your massive particle weighed oh, say 1x10E14 kg or more…  Imagine that your angle of attack brought you in through the woods, since ordinary matter does not matter much to you.  Imagine that you had massive amounts of gravitational pull that actually uplifted the earth below you in a straight line with your orbital path, parting the trees.  Imagine that you were coming in “Hot” at 500 miles/sec or so and that you triggered sonic booms due to the sudden collapse of air in your path.  Imagine you then entered the earth and orbited beneath the surface and around the inside of the earth like a marble down a funnel. Or, possibly if you had enough momentum, you made just a flesh wound to mother Earth and your orbit took you back out into the solar system from where you came.Watch now.
