Why would'nt this work?
-
What about using c++ or rust?
-
If you're openminded enough to listen to those who disagree with the standard model,
take an elastic band and twist it, that's what will happen to the stick and this travels at lightspeed,
as this is what light does. Do it fast enough and the 'elastic band'/stick/'atom on the other end' breaks. -
Actually, the thing that applies to the pole is the speed of sound (of the pole material), which is the speed the atoms in the pole move at. Not even close to the speed of light.

-
Is it instantaneous though?
-
Iirc from the 2 YouTube videos I watched light can theoretically bend thanks to gravity, black holes anyone?
-
Username checks out.
-
Relativistic mass is not helpful to our everyday understanding of mass, it's more helpful to discuss momentum, like the other commenter pointed out
-
Space bends due to gravity. Light continues in a straight line through the now non-linear space, thus appearing to bend.
-
This is actually a great example for why that stick must not exist.
You can also do this with a unbreakable stick and an unbreakable shorter tube. Throw the stick at a high velocity through the tube and it contracts for the point of view of the tube. Then close it shut. Now you have a stick that's longer than the tube fully contained in it.

Go find a 30' stick and let us know if you can point it at the moon.
-
Next, I suppose you'll want to know about the speed of dark 🤨
-
Correct answer is here.
-
I think the standard model says the same thing, tbh....
-
Basically the speed of sound in that material
-
I predict we'll have FTL travel before we can invent a stick that's "unfoldable".
-
You joke, but this is a real problem in computing Obligatory link to Tom Scott video.
-
Matter is made of atoms. Things are only truly rigid in the small scales we deal with usually.

Tbh I thought someone would make that joke when i wrote it lol
