I would think that if you had any black hole matter even in the vicinity of earth, it would suck everything in. If this is at all possible, which I don't think it is.

I guess that debunks/answers my question. I'm just starting out here, physics is ****ed up. I'm loving it. Thanks to all.

Light is energy and matter is energy... so maybe. Sorry I'm no more help :)

Thank you for the correction, I just assumed :rolleyes: When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me :-p

Actually this would fit under general relativity, my mistake :)

All I really wanted to get out of this thread is this: Since we are moving through space just by being on the planet earth, we are not moving through time as fast, my point of referance is a hypathetical planet just ouside the milky way that does not move through space at all, just time. Does...

What I mean by this is for a comet going 500,000 miles an hour or more time passes more slowly than for me sitting here, this comet does not exist in the time I am experiancing.

And perhaps this can be linked to multidimensions, since almost everything moves through space unevenly time has to cope with this. I dunno.

When you move through space time slows down, this is part of special relativity right. Hence when Light is moving at 670 million miles a hour time stops, and if you were to try and fly a spacecraft at 335 million miles an hour time would slow down by 1/2. But what I want to know is, since we...

But in space you wouldn't need to deal with friction or anything of the sort, why would the material need to be rigid, what kind of g forces would it need to deal with?

I don't know the formula that I would need to use in order to calculate the exact length needed to reach, or even break the speed of light, but in theory isn't this possible? Wouldnt the outer-most point of the tower be rotating with such a high velocity that it could break the speed of light...
