At the rate at which our technology and knowledge of Mars is growing, I feel humanity is going to have a ball digging through the virgin soils of the red planet as we slowly start our migration as a race. Our ideas of how to define and search for life will exponentially grow; limited only by the...
So, it would be impossible to bring the momentum up to a velocity greater than c, no matter how much the objects are "reeled" in? Does this also imply that the law of conservation of angular momentum only applies to objects of relatively low velocity (compared to 1c)?
After reading a chapter on the conservation of angular momentum, I have had a radical idea growing in my mind ever since I finished reading the material. To cut to the chase, the law states that the angular momentum of a rotating object will remain constant unless an outside torque acts on the...
