what is wrong with this? it looks plausible to me.

I'm not trolling. i just don't understand. with enough energy you could move the rod.

but why?

>> No.1165771

When you move something compression waves travel through it so it isn't really instant.

I would assume that they move at the speed of sound in that material but I honestly don't know for sure.

The movement of the rod would become wavelike as the particles bumped into each other.

it would travel at the speed of sound for a metal rod, so like 6000 m/s.

No it wouldn't. The speed of sound is the minimum bounds for the speed of a wave in a medium, not the maximum.

FINE

THE ROD IS NOW MADE OF DIAMOND (HARDEST POSSIBLE MATERIAL) SO IT WON'T COMPRESS WHAT NOW

A steel rod that large has enormous inertia. Even if you had enough energy to burn on one end to move it, the movement would take time to propagate along the rod. It move at no more than the speed of sound, or the rod would just break somewhere near the end you pushed.

>> No.1165909

>>1165886
then how fast would it travel?

>> No.1165917

>>1165905

But that's wrong retard. Diamond is not the most rigid material known to man.

>> No.1165922

>>1165907

it would move slightly faster than the wave of an earth quake. waves travel faster through denser things
