Message:
If weak material like chalk impacted strong material like diamond at an
*extremely* high speed like thousands of miles an hour, would the chalk simply
explode? Or would the diamond explode? Would the chalk punch a clean hole
through it and keep moving? Assume the diamond is larger than the chalk and that
there is no air resistance.
