The idea of a disk confuses the issue that within the disk you have particles being accelerated towards ##c##. Each of those particles... -

Please report back with your test results!

At that point the disc is not a single object, each piece of it to which an external force is applied is a separate, independent object...

The limits of the disc material strength could be overcome by applying the required centripetal forces externally. But even those...

aLeaf replied to the thread Graduate Rotating Disk Method to Attain Light Speed?.Maybe there is some old, abandoned lab space somewhere on the server where we could conduct thought experiments...?🙂

Well, we don't have an actual test lab here, so all we can tell you is what the theory says. :wink:

aLeaf replied to the thread Graduate Rotating Disk Method to Attain Light Speed?.Perhaps.... but I am someone who does not accept theoretical impossible limits without testing them...

Relativity says it must be. Relativity imposes a finite limit on the strength of materials, and that limit ensures that it is impossible...

aLeaf replied to the thread Graduate Rotating Disk Method to Attain Light Speed?.A rotating disk is an easier construct. Perhaps a method could be devised to engineer a disk of smaller size, commence spinning, and...

aLeaf replied to the thread Graduate Rotating Disk Method to Attain Light Speed?.Yes, nearly 48,000 Km. If the force at that radius was too great for the disk's material to hold together, then the material would fly...

The centrifugal force at the edge of the disk is proportional to the radius of the disk, which in this case is about 30,000 miles. Have...

No, just breaking apart, same as any other matter that you stress too much. Make jelly and put it on a barstool. Spin the barstool and...

aLeaf replied to the thread Graduate Rotating Disk Method to Attain Light Speed?.Disintegrate, as in atoms converting into photons? If so, then the disk itself would appear to us observing as a solid disk ringed by...
