How far would that ball travel before being fully consumed?

Probably the length of one baseball, as it disappears into its own shock front the instant it goes relativistic speed

The interesting thing about this is its *not* just, work out the kinetic energy of the ball and dump that into a ball sized area. Through fusion the ball can actually convert even more nuclear energy into light/heat than was put in as pure kinetic energy.

I guess like how a heat pump can move several times more energy into your house than it takes to run it.

I'm gonna start calling fission/fusion reactors "nuclear heat pumps" from now on.

That's not a good analogy for how heat pumps work.

If I move forward faster than the speed of light with a camera and take a snapshot directly ahead, will I get a photo of the back of my head?

It comes back from the quantum fotomat with one of those 'print no charge' stickers.

I enjoyed this way more than I should have.
