What would happen if a tight stretched nanotube collided with a nickel iron meteorite? If you had a carbon nanotube tightly stretched between two huge asteroids (fixed in space) and a third small nickel iron (oxide?) of about 3 meters in diameter travelling at the nanotube at 4500km/hr? Would the nanotube act as a molecular wire and simply slice completely through it or would the meteor break the nanotube? How would meteor size affect the collision? How would the speed of the meteor affect it?
