this is my first post so please be gentile with me
what would a wheel or a disc turning at a speed approaching that of light look like
my knowledge of the subject it quite small
but say the disc was rotating clock wise then looking at it from its right side would the top half look like it was blue shifted and would the bottom half look like it was red shifted
also would that mean that the blue shifted area of the disc be ageing more quickly and the red shifted area be ageing more slowly.
and looking at it straight on would the centre of the disc look different to the edges of it because it the centre is rotating slower than the edge.
any thought's would be appreciated
sorry about the lack of punctuation if this is in the wrong part of the forum i Apologize if some one could direct me to a more appropriate section it would be appreciated
