Moire (a way of fighting off despair) https://youtu.be/E7C5TQawaNA video http://www.alansondheim.org/e-vent.jpg Can the optical illusion generating by a moving moire pattern travel faster than the speed of light? Nothing is actually moving anywhere near that speed. I've been thinking of two kilometer-long straight rods, separated by a micron, for example - they're hinged at one end, theoretically rigid; the other end snaps shut at some godforsaken speed so the closure appears to travel much faster. Since there would be bending moments etc. this could be done digitally and through moire, two grids rotating in opposite direction at unbelievably high speeds, 0s and 1s translated into fictitious motion. There's really no point to any of this, but you can see the result of something similar but humble in the video and still presented here. Good luck with time reversal! But wait, there's more; in this case could there be a bending moment traveling that fast? I'd think not. So we're back to optical illusions or my ignorance of physics. Suppose a rod has timed solenoids along it that create pressure faster than the speed of light moving along it. Yes, then what. I want to know. Youth wants to know. How great is that. Or maybe, just maybe. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
