Can a Relativistic Impact Drill a Hole Through Earth?

[John Clement Husain]

If I were to have an object that is floating in space, with a radius of 100 m , that is going to crash unto Earth from a distance of 94,725,000 m and a speed of 299,792,455 m/s, how will it affect earth?(in terms of recoil or rebound.)

What is the object's (rest) mass?

Then use the equation derived in the relativistic section here:

hmm, let me put that as 1.17x10¹⁰ kg

The result will depend on whether this is a rigid object which can "burrow" into the Earth, or whether it is a liquid-like "blob" which will "splatter" on impact, or something in between.

Can you provide some context for this question? I wonder whether this is an "XY problem":

Is has enough energy to drill a hole through Earth. It has enough energy to move the whole column of material at 70000km/s in the end (unless I made a mistake, which is likely).
I'm no expert at hypervelocity impacts but I don't think there is enough time for a sideways motion of the material in the path of the Thing. But I also don't see how the energy would get transferred to that column of material. Probably it would create a layer of degenerate or even neutron matter on impact, that would get thicker as the Thing moves through the Earth.
Also I don't think it really matters what the Thing is made of.
