Physics & Shit

Ripped from /b/ just wanted to know what you though.

nice idea, but in an infinite universe, there are infinite ammounts of debris, from specks traveling massive speeds, to asteroids traveling slowly, let alone all of the shit that would arise just within a 100-billion light year path, eventually, all sorts of shit would tear it the fuck up. BUT, it is a nice ideer to mull over in your noodle.

Lets take debris out of the equation, and rotating planets. What now?

would make a good science FICTION movie/book/wateva.

-gots to go to work now

Would it really move instantly? And push for yes, dont push for no? Thats the worst ever, if it would work you would obviously be able to use it for morsecode.

Thats what its asking. Would it move instantly?

Hey Matt, you're stupid, think of how much a pole like that would cost, it wouldn't be possible unless fucking Bill Gates or some other rich dude financed it


edit: I don't think it would work though. I think it would take a while because the pole's atoms would probably give in a little, thus making your initial push a motion that would start at one end and take ages to get to the other end. That's my theory, but what do I know

WILL IT TAKE OFF?

to make the pole stable it would have to be thicker than the two planets its communicating for.

The pole would have to be infinitely rigid for it not to bend when pushed for a start.


No.

So ignoring rational thought and science, you're asking would it move instantly? Because with all these factors removed you can make the answer up yourself, as without the physical factors, there's really no plausible question.

Dont know about the planets. But pretty sure the plane would take off on the treadmill.

Nah it wouldn't found out recently they work because of the pressure difference above and below the wings caused during the acceleration phase of the take off.

So if it's moving on the same spot there would be no change in pressure and it wouldn't move from an area of high pressure to low.

As for the pole, it wouldn't work, if you keep getting rid of the things that would stop it from working eventually it would but that's basically asking a question and then forcing the answer you want to hear.

Again I don't know much, but I don't think there is a substance that dense that it wouldn't be affected at least on a very minimalistic scale, and when you multiply that with the humongous distance I don't see it happening. Something should have to give the atoms a faster than light velocity

What the fuck would you even build it out of considering most of space is empty? Its just too ridiculous for me to even try to answer.

This.

This is retarded, because no planet has enough natural resources to make a pole even 1 trillionth that size. I don't think the person who wrote this has any idea how fucking giant 100 light years is.
Ignoring everything, yes, the pole would move instantly, but you can't just eliminate every factor. You could solve tons of problems if you eliminated every factor.

Thats philosophy for you.

Change the topic name to philosophics are shit.

CHANGE THE NAME TO VODE ISN'T BRITISH!

Hahaaha

also, wouldnt the pole just hit the ground of the planet with the greater gravitational force?

I think this is more just a hypothetical thing. IF there was a giant pole that stretched over a distance of a few lightyears, would the other end be instantly affected by a movement at the other end. And I say no.

as the resident physicist I'll answer this when I dont have a women stuck to my penis.

Well hypothetically speaking IF a giant pole could exist without all the environmental and physical factors we'd all be dead, so no for me also.

This pole could be built if they used Aerogel to build it. 99% air and 1 percent of silicon dioxide.

We would need to build the pole in pieces, get some other planets in on this.

By 2015 I predict we will be living on the space pole in prosperity.

all hail the mighty space pole.

it's shaft shall stay infinitely rigid as it's girth stays meaty.

If this is too hard, think of it this way, I get a boner and if I direct it towards another planet, and some alien pushed it back, would I feel it at the root of my penis instantly?

I kid, I really have a tiny penis. I can't even use urinals without soaking my jeans.

If you're equiped with a pole that is extreamly hard and rigid it would work. yes. If it was a soft flacid pole pushed against uranis then no ...uranus

black holes would have the oposite effect.

my science teacher was a pervert.
