Very interesting. Of course I should have known that it wasn't a coriolis force I was thinking about, as I said It's been a while since I left the domain of armchair physics. I think it was the chemist Kary Mullis who I first read suggesting that the moon is falling. Well, the reason I've...

Thanks Mr Brown. But it's been years since I did anything but read physics and I'm afraid that I wouldn't know where to start with the calculation. Is the same true for fractions of light speed say a quarter or a half? KodeK reel8.co.uk

Hi, Is it possible for a man made object to remain in a circular solar orbit at speeds approaching light speed without a coriolis force destroying the object or disrupting the orbit. If so, what distance from the sun would be required and what would the orbital period be?KodeK reel8.co.uk
