Hi,
i'm new to this and maybe this has been covered but-
Imagine an object moving at almost the speed of light, is on a collision course with earth. To observers on Earth the ship seems to be motionless, due to it's speed being extremely close to c.
Eventually the ship is going to be very close to earth, let's say, that to an Earth observer it seems to be hovering about 1m from the Earth's surface.
What would happen to someone or something which touched this ship?
Would they be instantly propelled into the ships frame of reference or would they be able come and go as they please?
I hope that made some sort of sense... any thoughts would be much appreciated...
Thanks
