What will happen?? Will this example result in motion faster than speed of light??? |
Here's the example... Imagine the wheel of your bike (not the tyres) where the pedals are. Imagine a bigger wheel of that type (with pedals in the inner "circle"). If i could start moving my feet close to the speed of light this will result to this: the "inner circle" that my legs are "drawing" with the petals will be close to the speed of light. BUT the outer edge of that wheel will moving much faster (especially if that wheel is BIG) so the outer edge of that wheel must be moving faster than light. any ideas of a) what is going to happen?? b) what if you assume that the material is very strong and will not collapse from the speed?? c) can this experiment be achieved with current technology??? d) which i will sue if this is a new start to physics theory and some preofessor stole my idea??? lol please serious answers This is a very interesting question, and is similar to "thought experiments" scientists and philosophers made after Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905. I can only give a partial answer (I'm not a physicist) but I believe that it lies in the fact that NO material could be strong enough to withstand the torque forces you would create by trying to move such a device. It would shatter. You could also imagine a simpler device on the same lines - a pencil so long that when you move one end, the writing end moves faster than the speed of light. No material could remain rigid when subjected to such enormous pressure. The pencil would snap, just like your bicycle wheel would. But credit to you, your idea is one that famous philosophers scratched their heads over almost a hundred years ago. lol you are mistaken on somany levels i dont even know where to start. let me ask you do u take acid by any chance? |
