...you'll never be able to do the experiment, because
1) the staff would have to be really rigid, that means it's supposed never to break - but that's impossible, such material doesn't exist - and remember, that the material's behaviour changes with powers working on it, which takes me to point
2) how do want to produce such an angular speed?
Either your staff will break because it's too long or because of the high angular speed. You can't wave around a staff above a certain length - imagine the forces that are necessary to hold it! And even if you keep it short, say, some five meters or so - just calculate your omega and then again the forces working on the point the rod is attached to, and you'll see.
To sum it up: It is impossible to produce superluminal velocities with that experiment, because you don't have the material to realize it. |
