 forum's admin  First circle Registered the : 2010-08-23 Messages: 3958    | ok, I think I have come up with a conclusion here... ok I have a stick and the moon. As I Push the stick, towards the Moon, I compress it. Now rather than me moving this "stick" in one motion, the movement travels in a wave. So I guess I could Push it further than 1m because of this compression but the wave will most likely bounce back and shove the stick in my face  . Does this seem legit? Hey, are you an archaeologist? Because I have a large bone that needs to be examined... www.miniradman.com | ||

Shouldn't we take the rotation of both Earth and Moon in account and different movement speeds of both objects? Ceterum censeo topicum | ||

I haven't really taken this into account, I could, but I'm only looking at the way the stick behaves over a long distance  Hey, are you an archaeologist? Because I have a large bone that needs to be examined... www.miniradman.com | ||

 Fourth circle Registered the : 2008-12-05 Messages: 6928 | The only valid way to compare Two objects' speed , is to have the same starting point , the same distance to cover , and the same starting time . Unless the physics i have been taught is different . NoNe of those are applied in the current arguement so its off right from the hypothesis . But lets overlook that . Yes your stick would arrive faster on the Moon than the light that has to cover thousands of kilometers . But even like this, the light isnt spontaneous like a "dot" , its constant . So your stick will still be beaten by countless more rays that arrived before. I dont even know why i am answering this  oh he ought to be an admiral, a sultan, or a And to his praises we shall always sing Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer | ||

How fast would the stick move from the moment I Push it to the time it hits the moon. Would be instantaneous or will there be a delay. Because I think the movement will travel like a wave rather than just a single push. (like pushing a spring into a wall). Hey, are you an archaeologist?
