Space Elevator

October 19, 2009

An interesting problem with building bridges into space  relates to time. Objects that move through space and different speeds have different time. So I we build something that reached from the Earth’s surface all the way into orbit it would be warped in strange ways. I wonder, could such a structure even be constructed? I’d like to think so. In  any case it would be hard to accomplish.
