Why would'nt this work?
-
-
This wouldn't work because the moon is more than 300k km away

That's what he meant by we'll use sticks on the other side

You should make it out of feathers. Steel is heavier than feathers.

always had this question as a kid
And then went, draw it out, and asked.
I applaud that (and the art), good for you.(And the good people already provided answers.)
-
why wouldn't this work
because bullets are faster than whatever the fuck speed stickman is achieving
and even bullets are slower than light -
Yes, the speed of sound in an object is how fast neighboring atoms can react to each other, and not only is that information (therefore limited to C already) but specifically it's the electric field caused by the electrons that keep atoms certain distances from each other and push each other around. And changes in the electric/magnetic fields are famously carried by photons (light) specifically - so even in bulk those changes move at the speed of light at most
-
Yes, that's the point. The limit c denies the possibility of a perfectly rigid body existing physically. It can only exist as a thought experiment.
-
I think relativity demonstrates that light does have mass?
They might not have "rest mass" but they do have mass!
The eclipse experiment proved it, solar sails whilst hypothetical demonstrate it.
-
Photons don't have mass, but they do have momentum.

AlphaPhoenix is definitely one of the best scientists on YouTube, that video is good.
