It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?
You must log in or register to comment.
it wouldn’t work, because there is no unbreakable, unfoldable stick. the stick will have flex, and the force transmitted will occur much more slowly through the molecular chain of the stick than light’s travel time.
reality is much more woobly and spongy than you know.
Okay for a thought experiment what if it’s a perfect element incapable of that?
Like some sort of material that has a speed of sound close or equal to the speed of light? Then yeah, it would move about the same speed as the speed of light.
“Ok, well, humans can’t just teleport wherever they want, but what if they could?”
well, then they could, I guess.
