Sounds like you're also using the assumption that you are able to provide enough force to cause such a large mass to move that quickly. That's a baseless assumption. 7/19/2010 10:09:36 PM |

ifyou could build a merry go round that big, that would stay connected at that speed, and you could get something strong enough to move it, without it snapping then yes.
but that if is an impossible if. so theres no way this is possible. 7/19/2010 10:11:28 PM |

I didn't see this was a merry go round, but anyway this would still break even if you could apply enough force.
The only way this is possible is if you assume an invincible object.
So if you grant one physical impossibility, then sure it might be possible. But since you already have to break physics to get to attempt it there's no point because it won't happen. 7/19/2010 10:19:16 PM |

say you have a cord of 200 tex carbon fiber, that would make such a length weigh 59.9 metric tons
what is the energy required to sling that around for the linear velocity of the moving end? 7/19/2010 10:19:53 PM |

This may be true in classical physics, right, but classical physics is a lie and merely provides useful approximations at a relatively human scale. Relativistic physics reveals that the mass of a node on the edge of the merry-go-round increases as its velocity increases. It would require an amount of energy approaching infinity to move it the closer it got to the speed of light. Never happen.

ACtually theres no way it would ever work.
Time would actually slow down at the moment you were approaching the speed of light and therefore you would never reach the true speed.
its the same instance as if you are on a ship that is going around earth at the speed of light and you decide to run from one end to the other...time would actually slow down for you in your space you occupy and you would never actually breach.
its proven physics 7/19/2010 10:27:22 PM |

I was reading recently about time dilation in regards to satellites. The GPS satellite clocks lose 7 microseconds a day due to time slowing down due to their speed, around 9,000mph. But because they occupy an orbit high enough to escape some of the earth's effect on spacetime(gravity), they gain 45 microseconds a day. The net change is that to an observer on the earth the GPS clocks gain 38 microsends per day, or almost 14 milliseconds per year.
The space shuttle occupies such a low orbit however, the primary effect is mostly time dilation due to speed...in other words an astronaut's watch would lose a small amount of time each day...Or they would get to live slightly longer in terms of time on the earth. The astronaut's personal view of time, of course, would remain unchanged, and not just because the numbers are small. 7/19/2010 10:51:06 PM |

I guess that begs the question: Why do we age? Is it time? Is it in our DNA blueprint? Do we lose cell information as cells split and copy itself over time? 7/19/2010 10:58:56 PM |

some things can, in fact, travel faster than light
there are certain experiments whereby if you let a particle split and then examine half of it, your observation has an instantaneous effect on the other half of the particle, even if it's a million miles away by then
scientists, I think, brush off this "Spooky action at a distance" by claiming that no actual information is conveyed, and therefore that nothing is really moving

we age because the DNA gets damaged when the cell splits, or when there are free radicals, or when we get exposed to radiation
so really its the flimsiness of DNA thats to blame
