I'll take a crack at it, Nick, even knowing my limited grasp of physics. For an object to be 100% rigid, it would have to be infinitely dense, which would imply infinite mass. Which means to move one end would take infinite energy… which I believe is what Einstein said it would take to exceed the speed of light. All wet? Rick
