Fusion Cricket Ball

If you were to throw a cricket ball at 10 million miles per hour (a small fraction of the speed of light) , it would cause the air Infront of it to undergo a nuclear fusion reaction. The ball and the air Infront of it would turn into super heated plasma and detonate as a thermal nuclear explosion. 

The thermal nuclear explosion would vaporise everything in the area including the ball and the person throwing the ball along with the air in the ball's path.

The good thing is no one can ever throw a ball that fast, the energy required to push the ball at that speed would be enormous, perhaps comparable to the output of an entire power station over a short period of time. 

A Tea for an AI sketch

I asked some artificial intelligence systems how much energy they use when summoned to draw an image. 

They all came to the conclusion that is varies from 100th of a kilowatt-hour to one tenth of a kilowatt-hour. 

It takes AI roughly enough energy to heat up a cup of coffee to make one image

The AI systems agreed that the human brain uses about half a kilowatt-hour per day. The human brain is constantly processing image and sound information and controlling the body at the same time. The Human Brain does more processing work with less energy. It is a whole little world powered by an egg and cress sandwich. It hosts consciousness itself and countless thoughts.
