>>14392671so maybe not waste then... wait, would one be able to store nuclear fuel without risk of criticality or decay reducing stored energy? if i get an enormous ring of, say, iridium constructed out in space and spun it up to ludicrous speed, would that affect the rate at which stuff quantum tunnels into iron as heat death approaches? (assuming ?CDM holds up forever)
wait, given that the initial mass is constant, and the speeds relativistic, wouldn't there also be an effect of increasing the mass of the ring, thus increasing its gravity, thus pulling the ring inwards and then accelerating it even more?
