Ok, I've stumbled onto what I think is a bit of a paradox.
First off, say you had some computer in a very fast(near light speed) centrifuge. You provide power to this computer via a metal plate on the "wall" of the centrifuge's container, so it works similar to how subways and streetcars are powered.
If the computer normally would consume 200 watts, how much power would it consume at say 1/2 of light speed? Would it consume 400 watts from our still viewpoint?
Also, what if you were to be capable of communicating with this computer? Would the centrifuge-computer receive AND transmit messages faster from our still viewpoint? I'm a bit lost in even thinking about it.
