Why would'nt this work?

(i know i may have broken english sometimes, sorry about that)
Not at all! I couldn't tell you aren't a native speaker. Regarding a "moon elevator", or more realistically a space elevator, these kinds of Herculean physics problems are exactly what people are trying to iron out. The forces involved are astronomical.

That was excellent. Thank you
-
Huh....so we may fail to achieve faster than light (FTL) travel but we could probably manage faster than stick (FTS) travel
-
Or a duck.

NASA: "Hold my beaker."

Yeah IIRC that even applies to things like gravity as well. As in, we aren't actually orbiting around where is sun is, we're orbiting around where it was ~8 minutes ago because the sun is about 8 light-minutes from Earth.
-
No, gravity is faster than light. If there was this lag, we wouldn't have stable orbits exactly because of the lag you describe. Wave functions of photons also collapse faster than light when they hit absorbent material.

Oh right. I'll edit my comment
-
Okay done i got his lids whos got the space gear and the impossible stick
-
-
It's even wilder when you take the concept of ridgidity and transfer of energy out of the equation and just think in terms of pure information propagating though a light cone. Rigidity itself is a function of information.
-
Great explanation, thank you!
-
Easily. I imagine that most spacecraft are already traveling faster than the speed of stick. It's likely only a few thousand meters per second

-
Cool vid, thanks for sharing
-
-
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
