I don't know where to put this one so I'll put it here. But I was thinking about things.
Let's say you have a vertical cylinder, only a few millimeters in diameter and infinite height for argument's sake (basically a taut string). The cylinder is a time dilation field and anything inside that field experiences extreme time dilation (for argument's sake let's say that time inside the field boarders on completely stopped).
If someone were to walk through that cylinder or if an object passes through that cylinder, would it be cut in half? And if so, what would dictate what could or could not be cut.
I'm wondering if it can cut because let's say I slide an object into that field. At that moment, the molecules inside the field would age at a much slower rate than what they're attach to. Wouldn't that sever the bonds between them? Also, the object would maintain its velocity while the velocity of the material in the field would have a slower velocity relative to the world outside. I mean, inside the field it'd be the same velocity and KE. But the object will be done passing through while the molecules are still at the front of the field. Not to mention the molecules in the field will have more molecules trying to get shoved in after it.
I guess this can also extend to the time dilation field maze in SG1. Carter threw a rock and when it hit the field it just stayed there. But if something like that actually existed, wouldn't something else happen to that rock for the aforementioned reasons? I mean, as far as the field is concerned you just tried to fit a rock into something the depth of a few nanometers in the time of a few nanoseconds.
So if I had this field, would it cut or something else?
