If a ship was traveling from afar toward our sun at 99.9999... C and skimmed the outer shell of the sun and continued on, would it burn up? From inside the ship, the trip through the shell might take a billionth or trillionth of a second, hardly enough time for the interior of the ship to heat up, but from an observer on Earth the ship is taking perhaps a few seconds to make this passage, surely enough time to disintegrate the ship.
