What if gear 1 turns at the speed of light

Anonymous: Well I can't see any tits....

Limerick: There's a great fallacy here. That is, they both move at the same speed. The smaller gear just completes it's revolution in a shorter period. So nothing would happen if gear 1 turned at the speed of light if even it could.

Greeft: Exactly Limerick, that's what I said right at the top. Whatever speed the cogs of the gear turn at the cogs of the small gear will move at the same speed, there is just less cogs so it will complete more revolutions.

SLIPPY: its actually called a spur gear. Single celled creature sits on the end of a minute-hand of a clock with its pseudo-pods dangling. Seems to be moving really fast when he looks down. Same creature moves to the inside of the minute hand and looks down.

sparkoflife: ok, first off, tachyons go faster than the speed of light...Einstein never said that things already going faster than light are impossible, only that you cant accellerate to the speed of light. Also, the gears as shown...the energy required and leverage produced would make it impossible for the small gear to move the large gear faster than light. The small gear could not producxe enough leverage.

1299220163590

sparkoflife: also, the top speed of the little gear would be a little under 2.5 times the speed of light, as this would make the large gear movee at just under the speed of light. Also, Einstein was an insane fag.

In this case were the two cogs indestructible the first larger cog would simply not be able to turn with its circumference moving at the speed of light since it would be limited by the circumference speed of the smaller cog.
