Odd question

I was thinking... What if I'd make a huge disc with a radius of r meters and start turning it in an angular velocity of w > 300,000,000/r rad/sec. Then, every point on the edge of the disc (r meters from the center) will have a linear velocity of

V = w * r > 300,000,000 m/sec, faster than the speed of light...

hmmm
 
Wonderful. Only problem is that Centripetal force would tear it apart long before it ever attained those speeds.
 
Why would you stick to a theoretical idea when the laws of physics clearly tell us that it's impossible.
 
OK, so THEORETICALLY it could go that fast if it wasn't for centripetal force...

THEORETICALLY you can build a ladder to the moon. Just ignore all the laws of physics that say it isn't possible...:tardbang:
