Problem, physicists?

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 09:48:24 2011 No.3495254 I used to wonder about this too, but then I realised that for a pole of this size, there would be a deformation wave of kinetic energy that would travel at slower than the speed of light.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 09:49:24 2011 No.3495257 OP's pic shows no actual relation to time, so it is actually possible

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 09:52:24 2011 No.3495269 >>3495257 heh, fair enough. That said, the compression wave from tapping the rod is going to be scattered and dissipated over the 100,000,000 ly length of the any physical rod.

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 10:00:24 2011 No.3495294 >>3495269 the rod is made of diamonds and doest whip about

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 10:02:24 2011 No.3495302 It's troll science, you god damn summerfags

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 2 10:05:24 2011 No.3495326 This is the like the oldest troll physics there is. Older than magnet car, even.
