Impossible to even go the speed of light with any serious mass anyway so it's pointless to guess.

what if the 50-teethed gear turns at half the speed of light?
Wich one of them are first?
are both gears made of diamond?
>>712084661
guessing the gear would shear apart from relativistic effects on the outward portion
>>712085484
Left.
light travels at a straight line.
The gears' radial velocity is different, but the linear velocity of the teeth is the same
>>712085395
>>712085155
no, its not
>>712085565
Oh, then, they would open black hole, or open gates to another dimencion or some shit. basicaly no one can move higher than speed of light... so the second gear canot move 2.5 times faster then light...
>>712085878
Make an experiment and prove it then.

What is the speed of light in a measurable quantity? How does rpm equate to said speed? Can you teach me how to dougie?

Accelerating the 50-teethed gear to half the speed of light is the same as accelerating the other gear to the speed of light
>>712084661
prolly the gear would come apart long before this.
My response is,you cant get it to the speed of light. Dont ask me "but if we could",because thats like saiyng "imagine gravity didnt exist". If you break one law of physics a bunch of other shit falls into shit. Even if the first one was moving 99.9% speed of light,the other one should theoretically be moving more,but it wont,it cant and it wont
>>712086143
Particles at LHC are traveling point to point not spinning in place.
You'd strip the gears.

git gud
>>712084661
there is no matter that can handle that force imho
Let's pretend something with mass can go that fast. You would experience time dilation as an observer. Even at the "low speed" of 10% of the speed of light clocks would slow down by around 1%, but if we travel at 95% of the speed of light time will slow down to about one-third of that measured by a stationary observer. So the gears would seem to be moving slowly. E equals MC squared my friend.
>>712086258
>prolly the gear would come apart long before this.
Obviously you're supposed to suspend disbelief and assume the gear will be able to survive this, you stupid fucking fuck.
>>712086356
>>712086288
Science is not there to say what can and can't happen. It deals with "could it happen"? Planes were impossible for millenia, but they could have been invented earlier.

OK, but you can't suspend physics just for fun. Look up Dunkerley's method for figuring out the critical speed or a rotating member. Dumbass.

You're a stupid fuck.
>>712084661
What point on the gear? Center edge or outside edge?
>>712084661
Its not possible. If Gear 1 turned at the speed of light the mass of gear 2 would most likely heat up to hotter than the surface of the sun and it would break/melt. The first tooth would be going over 230,000,000 rpm, and since gear 2 the smaller one has less mass it would be going over 1.34 billion rpm.
what if my dick is in your mouth
>>712086900

No, it's not.
Fucktard
>>712086407
what are you talkin about. The formula for time dialation goes T=T0/root(1-v^2/c^2) that means the time for the MOVING observer gets shortened compared time to the observer who is stationary. So if someone was spinning on that whell he would experience time to almost stop,but that has nothing to do with stationary people looking at the whell,nothing changes for them really

light is affected by gravity and therefore does turn
But muh science teacher at muh liberal arts college told me that no is the answer so the answer is no because muh science teacher at muh liberal arts college told me. I'm edmuhcated.
speed of light: linear motion
what is gear 1's circumference?
and which one is gear 1?
>>712087189
The fuck?
anything that involves friction would never reach the speed of light
If we assume that the 50 tooth gear is 1 meter in diameter then the answer is 749 481 145 m / s. which is simply the Speed of Light x 2.5. Assumed that else being equal and compliant. An infinite amount of energy is required to move a finite mass near the speed of light. Since infinite energy is not available to your two member gear train then it will not even get close to that speed. Even one Atom of Hydrogen cannot exist at the speed of light. But that Atom can be destroyed to the point that Photons are emitted which is some pretty basic shit so yeah.
>>712087428
He said just assume speed of light at exact center of mass
>>712087266
not really tho
space is affected by gravity
light just goes straight in a curved space
which appears to be a curved trajectory to an observer standing in a straight space
>>712084661
generally accepted that according to the general theory of relativity, the large gear achieving the speed of light will cause time to slow, and the "faster" it goes "past" the speed of light causes time to slow even further, eg. lights a cunt, and wont let anyone pass.
if you got a problem with it, talk to stephen hawking.
>>712084661
my answer is light speed travel is impossible, only near light speed is obtainable even then thats theoretical
>>712084661
The gear has to accelerate. I would break into pieces long before the outer teeth got close to lightspeed.
Theoretically can't spin at a speed faster than the speed of light. I'm assuming that the speed you are naming it's linear speed.
If you weren't so retarded you would know that it's impossible to make anything go over the speed of light. Because it would disintegrate. Literally.
Open your books and study. Also pay attention in class and don't be idiots.
>>712084661
They would probably disintegrate. I don't know too much about physics but i thought faster than light anything was only possible at a quantum level?
>>712087566
counter-clockwise ?
>>712087493
Anything with mass will never reach lightspeed even without friction.
>>712087591
Hmm..... I like the way you science, friend
>>712087732
Does it matter?
>>712087732
well yeah
light has a positive speed
>>712086523
yeah it sort of is. The theory of relativity hasnt been broken yet,and if it is,it will be with teleportation and space warping,not with making wheels go faster than light. That kind of thing is definitely impossible
>>712087018
good job.
except, if the SPROCKETS are PERFECTLY balanced, ultra high rpms are possible.
>>712084661
The gears would be annihilated as their particles collided fast enough to undergo fusion.
>>712084661
this would only work if the gears were made from Unobtanium
Mechanical force only propagates at the speed of light. The gear would compress down to nothing.
>>712084661
Then the atoms in the smaller gear would also move at half the speed of light.
If they went that fast they would probably end up sucking the dick of friction.
>>712087566
Do you know that speed of light is a linear speed?
>>712088060
>>712088113
>>712087890
Not if they are made from Unobtainium
>>712084661
gear two would satisfy your mom
If we assume that it's possible for a gear to turn AT the speed of light, then it should be eaqually as possible for the second gear to turn at 2.5 times the speed of light.
But it's all irrealavant, since the speed of light isn't measured in HZ.
And If something somehow could "turn at the speed of light", then we could just make gear 1 infinitely small, which would make the radial speed of the second gear smaller than the first, meaning there's no breaking the laws of physics today, pal.
>>712085155
only beacause u can think it, its not possible even theoratically idiot
>>712086870
Time would be slowed by about 86% it's original speed.
>>712088169
pretty sure speed of light is just the regular kind of speed
>>712088253
This is best answer.
u are all dumb fucks - speed of gear is the same - point of contact moves at the speed of light, it does not mater how many rpm they have - if one turns at the speed of light other one does as well.
If this worked the only use would be to finally prove that cunt einstein was wrong
>>712084661
F = MA, if one gear turns at the speed of light it shears the fucking teeth off the other gear. in fact, the gear probably detonates from centrifugal force...

then it would still lose to the Trump
>>712088169
Light is linear, the speed of light is just a referenceL
>>712084661
gear two is converted to energy as it reaches the speed of light before gear one (and of course at that speed its mass become a related amount of energy according to E = mc²). then as gear one finally accelerates to its stated velocity of c, it too is converted completely into energy.
way to destroy two perfectly good gears op.
>>712084661
Let me provide with the only logical explanation.
In theory, nothing is faster than the speed of light.
In reality, there is practically no limit for speed in the universe.
So if gear 1 would spin at the speed of light, then gear 2 would go at 2,5 times the speed of light.
Lot of physicists would be losing their minds like polling station did during trumps victory, and physical laws will need to be rewritten.
We as humans understand only a fraction of what is possible in the universe and still cling to laws when visiting its boundaries.
>>712084661
First off you didn't indicate which gear is gear 1.
Secondly to have a rotational velocity of the speed of light you would have to have an infinite amount of energy.
Thirdly, if you had an infinite amount of energy at the point of the gear you would have an infinite energy density.
Fourth, an infinite energy density would create a blackhole
Fifth, a black hole consumes everything around it.
Sixth, the black hole would consume the second gear and then you and then me and then the earth.
Seventh, i'd be dead, therefore i wouldn't have to deal with you people any more
Inb4, stupid fag you just took the bait.
>>712084661
Our physical universe would implode.
>>712088169
well yeah
so is 60 miles an hour
but my car can still display it as rpm

Dont forget spagettification...
>>712088671
>In reality, there is practically no limit for speed in the universe.
In reality, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Since you never specified the gears, then we can just set their radius to be infinitesimal. That way no matter how fast you turn the gear, no part of it will reach of exceed the speed of light.
>>712088713
Okay, so assume we have two colliding black holes. The first one turns at the speed of light.The second one is 2,5 times bigger than the first one.
What would happen?
>pic related
>>712087018
How could you calculate this without a radius?
v = 2*pi*r*rotational speed...

>>712088805
Kek
>>712084661
My answer is that it is retarded to put two gears with even number of teeth next to each other.
>>712088805
That's because the wheels have a radius which you can factor in to get the radial speed of the wheels.
We don't know the radius of the gears, so there's no way to know the radial speed, which makes it an irrealavant measurement.
>>712086523
An hypothesis becomes science when it can be used to make valid predictions. In this case, science tells us that a gear can't reach the speed of light, not even 10% of it actually.
Guys guys guys, wait
What if
WHAT IF
The gears are made of light.
>>712085395
It shatters into tiny pieces long before it reaches 1/2 speedof light
Listen here faggots. Assuming gear 1 is the big on and gear 2 is the smaller, lets assume we can turn them at the speed of light gear 2 would move just as fast as gear 1. Why because what the speed ratio is ACTUALLY TELL LING YOU is how fast the gear would complete a cycle of 360deg turn. 1:2,5 means for every time gear one turns one full circle her two would have spun 2,5 times already found the same speed as gear one.
>>712089290
Blasphemy.
>>712089247
k thanks
>>712087189
>just assume speed of light at exact center of mass
Ah!
OK if gear 1 or two as the center approaches the speed of light the gear attains infinite mass and collapses into a black.
As it sucks in all matter around it, it begins posting to Tumblr about how it is healthy at any size.
Anons... Stap! What is the speed of gear? - lets assume it is speed at witch its most distant particles (from center) move - then such particles will interact with most distant particles of second gear giving them nothing else then same speed... whats so difficult to understand - it is purely hypothetical question so lets forget mass and resistance/friction

You have no idea what you're talking about.
IF ONE GEAR TURNS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT AND YOU DON'T REPLY TO THIS POST THEN YOUR MOTHER WILL GET FUCKED BY NIGGERS IN HER SLEEP
>>712089121
so
if i understand what you're saying
the speed of light is to radius of gear 1 what 60miles per hour is to radius of the wheels of my car?
then it's easy
speed of light x 30in / 60 mph gives you the radius of the gear
The centrifugal force acting on both gears would be so tremendous that both would begin to break down at the molecular level before it had an opportunity to get to light speed.
This whole thing is filled with gayness. I'm out.
>>712088987
>Pic unrelated
They would either fall right into each other and merge or they would circle around each other unti they merged. Both circumstances would be in line with GR and the gravitational waves given off would pretty much give any physicist a boner/ dripping pussy.
Which ever gear is accelerating will force the other out most edge of the gear teeth on the other gear to the speed of light first due to how fucking gears work.
When the other gear hits the speed of light it attains infinite mass and collapses into a black hole which sucks in all matter and light around it.
After that it posts to Tumblr about fat acceptance and then begins to whine about fat shaming.
>>712090043
SWEET JESUS CUNT
ARE YOU MEDICALLY RETARDED?
30in is the diameter of your wheels
The correct formula is
speed of light x 15in / 60 mph
Which gives us a radius of 167654157.346098783 inches
>>712087226
Youre stupid fucking a
it would turn into energy and not have any mass so nothing to gear 2
>>712090409
shit you're right
>>712088364
basically this.
Assuming that it's the edge of the gear that moves at the speed of light, the second gears edge would also move at the speed of light.
It would just do more spins in the same time, but since it's smaller, the overall speed of the edge would be the same.
>>712090409
retard actually uses inches
>>712090786
How the fuck am I suppose to divide meters by miles per hour, smartass?
>Grinding gears.
It's entirely possible to travel faster than the speed of light, just not possible to accelerate to it. So saying both gears were infinitely strong and you started off at the speed of light it would work.
>>712090786

Relativity, bro...
>>712085955
Okay, just soon as you eat shit and die.
>>712084661
The speed of light is a speed, i.e. measured in units of length per unit time. "Turning", as I understand your meaning here, would akin to angular velocity, i.e. units of angular rotation per unit time.
By "gear turns a the speed of light" I assume you mean some point on gear one is moving at the speed of light... That would be out edge. The outer edge of gear 2 moves at the same speed as gear one.
Silly question really. The much more interesting thing to consider is the effect of relativity as you move from the center of the gear to the outer edge.

>>712086248
bullshit, teeth are the same size, so they always travel at the same speed along their respective circles, it's the rpm that differs
>>712084661
both gears experience fission and explode
>>712084661
those are rotational speeds, they aren't the same, converting them bring in the size, so they'd both move at the speed of light

Nah light always travels in a straight line, if it appears to curve due to an acceleration then it's the space bending, Not the light. Its just General relatively
