... The fact that "it's moving at a heck of a clip with respect to everything else" is irrelevant. If there are negligible external forces acting on the ship,...
... I'm sorry for being obtuse, because I remember that Newtonian physics assume that force is applied instantly on the whole of the object and Relativity says...
... Doesn't actually matter. The compression shock moves no faster than the speed of sound in the material, which is slow enough that newtonian physics is a...
... Sure, but this effect is equally benign no matter what velocity vector some other observer sees the ship as having. The only "compression" is along the...
... OK, so at the speed of sound, it takes the compression wave about 2 seconds to travel the length of the ship, not enough time to really matter in this...
... Well, primarily because the distance the wave has to travel is so short, it really doesn't have time to misbehave. So let's do this thought experiment: I...
... The problem is that I can reasonably say "What vector?" when I'm on the rod - it (and I) have no vector - the rest of the universe does. With no vector,...
... Since it's unobtainium of infinite rigidity, 500 seconds. ... Sure. Actually, let's give some numbers. Assume velocity is 10*sqrt(2) m/s and the angle is...
... "Bending", no. The effect will be a rippling compression wave that moves down the length of the rod. Different parts of the rod won't move at different...
... So you're saying the folks at Ad Astra Games got it wrong in AV: Tactical? There is most definitely a vector and it does apply, especially when it takes...
... There's only a vector if you choose to use a reference frame in which a vector exists. In any case, if you actually do the vector math, it really doesn't...
... e.g. don't the AV:T rules state that if you want to shift the amount of vector all ships have in a particular direction, it's perfectly OK to do so? -- ...

Ken, The Ten Worlds Setting is fairly similar in style and technological limitations to my own. Therefore, I don't think I'd have any problems writing in it. I...
