The nutty professor invents a new system for travel through space
in a long, very massive, cigar shaped, space ship. The ship has a
crew of two, consisting of a lightweight astronaut seated at each end.
In front of each astronaut, is a massive steering wheel.
To propel the ship, the astronaut that is closest the the
desired destination spins his steering wheel clockwise
until the ship reacts by spinning in a counterclockwise
direction, placing his end a little closer to the destination.
This action is repeated by the astronaut at the opposite end
and they continue until the spaceship arrives at its destination.
We realize that this method does not propel the spaceship very fast
and it is not very practical for several other reasons. But, what is the
main
reason that it won't work????
