Hi all. I have a question about something Nima Arkani-Hamed said in his lecture on space-time about space contraction near light speed. I included a link to the lecture at the point where he refers to contraction of two space ships with a 'cable' between them, they are accelerating towards the speed of light together, and at a point in the space contraction the 'cable' snaps. Is this the point where further contraction is impossible creating a black hole? And does the contraction of space affect the symmetry of the atoms and their electrons in the cable, and then end up squeezed down to the plank length? reference - @ time 35:24
