Re: Check this out

In Response To: Re: Check this out (Quantum)

: And even 500 years from now, we're talking about carbon nanotubes. Still
: carbon either way. A little more durable, since it would be
: nano-engineered to perfection, torpedo-affected falling is even less
: likely.

: I think, though, that it collapsed because of Regret's slipspace jump at its
: base. As he "bugs out," a slipspace rupture opens almost inside
: the base. If he had waited a few more seconds, his carrier would have
: collided with the elevator itself. I don't think plasma torpedos had
: anything to do with it, so we can assume only natural rotation forces were
: involved.

I know that buildings were sucked out, but I don't know what other forces were involved in that slipspace jump. The ground might have been jerked backwards during the jump, shifting the tethers backward with enough force to send them flying. The space elevator broke, most of it falling east into the ocean.
