Talk:Born rigidity

Updated versions?
From the Ehrenfest paradox it's clear that this isn't a valid relativistic model of rigidity, but Wikipedia doesn't explain any updated version. It stands to reason that an object under intense acceleration (as in Ehrenfest's relativistically rotating cylinder) should have some extreme alteration in how its chemical bonds work. The virtual electrons mediating Coulomb's law can't go back and forth - they have to go back and sideways, forth and sideways to counter the constant acceleration, don't they?

Expanded
I've expanded this article, including a list of possible Born rigid motions as given by Herglotz, Kottler, Lemaitre, etc..--D.H (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
