Looks interesting

They'll have to rewrite physics laws now!

No, simply no.

*Milk 1027* · 01-13-2009, 09:31 PM

wow I'd like to see more of that in action.

pretty awesome contraption! i wonder how long he sat & piddled with stuff to get it to work like that.

While I believe that this is not a hoax, there are limitations to everything.

are you talking about a RPM cap to what the device can spool up to? that would make sense. you can only overcome so much friction before catching on fire.

I just think that, even with infinite structural stability, there will be physical forces that limit the top-speed of this repeating machine.

i see your point. anything that has mass can approach the speed of light, but cannot exceed it, so i guess that would put a limit on things, but that's still pretty dad gum fast!

i believe he is referring to whether or not it would continue forever

I wonder how long it will be until this invention is mysteriously shelved and all plans of it destroyed?

Who says that nothing can exceed speed of light? They have already found particles/waves that exceeded the speed of lights many many times over. If I find a reference to it I will post it up.

Assuming nothing goes faster than the speed of light is old school thinking now!
