# If a record was spinning at 33 1/3 rpm,
what diameter would it have to be for the outer edge to achieve light speed?

Also, if you were to extend the diameter by a further meter, would the outer rim exceed light speed?

# (c*9/5)/pi metres?
and i expect the edge would crackle with a mysterious energy, before imploding and taking the universe with it. ideal youtube material

# i expect the answer is that space bends so that it all goes at the speed of light
which is why relativity is so cool and counterintuitive

i'll ask the missus when she gets back from the shops. she's a physics spod

# I know from when I worked on hocolopters
the rotor blade length/speed was limited so as to keep below the speed of sound or else the whole mechanism would shatter. Not sure if a disc would survive it.

the closer a mass gets to c, the more energy is required to accelerate it, to actually get to c would need infinite energy
