it becomes invisible duuh

do you mean the outside edge moves at the speed of light?
well, it can't, but as it approaches the speed of light time slows down on the outside edge more than it does at points on the inside.

Centrifugal forces would shred it apart before it reached it

>>6965641
Centripetal*

It cannot since rad/s is not m/s.

>>6965636
Well obviously, but what would that look like to an observer. And since time would gradually slow down more and more as one moves from the center of mass to the edge of an object, would the object be rotating at the same velocity but time would just be slower?

>>6965641
Let's imply that this object would not tear apart at those speeds.

>>6965649
I was talking about it's tangential velocity

>>6965659
Assuming the object is indestructible, You could accelerate the object's angular velocity infinitely, but no matter how much energy you apply, you would never accelerate the edges to light speed.

*Centrifugal

>>6965606
This is easy.
It doesn't.

>>6965606
If you really want to know, look up Ehrenfest's Paradox.

>Centrifugal is a force

>>6965728
You know what he meant, autist.

>>6965646
>Centripetal*

classic mount stupid response

>>6965741
I've always thought about this phenomena, but have never seen drawn out before. That's fucking beautiful.

Well duuhh, elevators are impossible to pull in space so there goes Relativity. Where can we send you your Nobel prize?
