Nuclear explosion caused by Baseball?!

XKCD comic creator Randall Munroe recently started "What If?" on his site xkcd. On http://what-if.xkcd.com you can ask an hypothetical question and he will answer it with physics. The first question states "What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light?"- Ellen McManis
The simple answer is a nuclear explosion, for why? click here


XKCD updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
"Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors)." (xkcd.com)
