Hypotheticall question.This question probably has some blatenly obvious awnser to it and I might sound stupid asking it but hypothetically if you were to make a solid metal bar. A bar thousands of miles long, would it sucome to gravity and bend with the earth or at some point just go up into the sky? Im begining to think sucom to gravity. There was a young fellow named Fisk Who's fencing was exidingly brisk So fast was his action the fitz-gerald contraction Reduced his rapier to a disk.

The answer would depend on quite a few unknowns, such as the material used, the cross-sectional area, and the length -- basically, Young's Modulus. Chemists are physicists who don't do math.
