Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of exceeding the speed of light and its potential relationship to Einstein-Rosen Bridges, exploring whether such a scenario could create a wormhole-like structure and the implications of relativistic mass on this idea.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions if exceeding the speed of light could be described as creating an Einstein-Rosen Bridge due to the relativistic mass of the accelerating object.
  • Another participant asserts that traveling at the speed of light would not create a wormhole.
  • A different participant acknowledges the idea of making a wormhole but suggests it could be perceived differently by an outside observer, particularly regarding the object's increasing mass due to energy.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the relationship between exceeding the speed of light and the creation of wormholes, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.

Contextual Notes

Some claims depend on interpretations of relativistic mass and the definitions of wormholes, which may not be universally agreed upon.

Quick question I don't expect many replies to, but I'm just wondering:

Could exceeding the speed of light (if it were possible) be described as creating an Einstein-Rosen Bridge because of the accelerating object's relativistic mass? Yes? No? And if so, would it have any strange properties uncommon to slower Schwartzchild Wormholes?

No .
 
Travelling at the speed of light would not create a wormhole.
 
I realize it would be making a wormhole, but couldn't it be perceived as one?
To an outside observer the accelerating object would appear to be increasing in mass due to its energy, which at this point would be infinite.
