    Subject: General Relativity.

    Time to test this community. If there is anyone here who actually has a brain, speak up.I have a question for you guys.

    Let's say I had 2 planets that were a few light years apart and I had named them Planet A and Planet B, and I had a metal beam joining both planets together.

    Now, if I pushed on the beam from planet B, would the force be felt on Planet A straight away? If it could, that would demonstrate that information could be sent to planet A and vice versa faster than the speed of light.
    If the force of the push was not felt straight away, why not? Does the steel girder shrink in size as kinetic waves travel through the girder? Does that mean the girder has shrunk in size?

    Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different.

    The force would be exerted on planet A right away but because of the long distance it would be so small a force that it would not be noticed. If the force was exerted over a long period of time it would be noticed slowly; like if you watch the moon go across the sky, it takes a long time to notice any change in its position.

    no because ur sending down vibrations and theyle probs wear off or be lightly felt or heard watever but if u increased the speed of light n send it at the old speed of light then u may be on to something

    or you could use the metal beam thing to conect a phone line to

    I dont know if you are aware of the abnormalities of quantum physics, but two electrons can be connected of several light years with a mysterious bond, and it allows for an instant transformation of information, and although the metal beam may not allow this, instant information transfer is possibleStick out tongue


    Do you use the word "pretentious" in a pretentious manner? The belief of "pretentious" being pretentious might itself be pretentious, but that would than further go to prove that the word "pretentious" is pretentious.

    It's just a vibration traveling through a medium. Just like sound travels through air (not instant). So no, it would not be felt instantaneously.

    Although,I believe gravitational pull could be an instantaneous method of sending information. So the change in position of the metal beam could cause very, very slight disruptions in the way the planets were aligned due to the the small gravitational pull of the beam, although this would be an incredibly small change, and hard to detect.

    The glass is half empty. The other half is empty too.

    gravity is not instantaneous, but there is instantaneous travel of information, the only problem is that as far as we know, there is no intstantaneous travel of useful information

    The planets former movements (Rotation and Translation) don't allow the union between planets trought the metal beam, without include the spacial natural facts and the distinct things that can obstruct this union...
