I appreciate that matter cannot reach C, that's why the electromagnet is only traveling at 99.999999% of C. What I'm interested in is how the magnetic field would behave at relativistic speeds. As for the ball rotating at 2 pi c at the edge! It has a circumference of one meter therefore one...

Magnets at the speed of light. I guess that if you propel a (natural) magnet close to the speed of light then nothing unusual happens to the magnetic field because it already exists and is accelerated along with the magnet, but what happens to an electro magnet? If an electro magnet is...

See note in first post about average guy, the average guy is pretty stupid. Yes I equate size to be the same thing as volume, that is anything with size has volume! clearly this is something I need to read up on as you seem to know something I don't. I can imagine something like a flat sheet...

Yes I mean that an infinitely sized object would have infinite volume, however the hose pipe is not of infinite size (only length) yet by my reckoning it contains an infinite volume of water. Something is desperately wrong with the way I perceive infinity.

Thank you for the reply, yes I have read that particular paradox but am still no closer to understanding infinity. The hosepipe being cut in half has just thrown further confusion at me. I can cut it in half once but never again, it has no middle that I can reach, all I can do now is cut off...

Spare me the ridicule for asking a stupid question, I'm just your average guy trying to comprehend his environment. I do my best to understand the origins and workings of the universe but no matter what path I take I will end up facing an infinity of one form or other. Ok here goes. I have...
