Smile Understanding and the limits of conception

Imagine a great wheel rotating in space, like a bicycle wheel.
The rotational speed at the outer rim equals lightspeed.
Alberts equation is invoked, the outer rim is now just energy.
What happens to the spokes of the wheel, rotating at less
than lightspeed? Do they fall apart, or maintain a coherent relationship
with the now changed matter of the rim? If the latter, is matter and energy related to an extent we not understand as yet?
Nokton.
