Okay.
So we’ve got an entirely flat surface that also happens to be the exact same length as the earth’s surface.
If you had one continuous piece of string that went from one end of that flat surface to the other, and on one end there was attached a bell… would you be able to ring the bell by pulling on the other end of string?
It kind of is. That is still 11 tons of mass. To ring a bell, you need to create some velocity on the striker. Pull a 11 ton mass in a frictionless environment will result in an extremely slow rate of acceleration. But in the spirit of the post, I suspect they are not considering how hard they are ringing the bell.
You are technically right though. Even blowing on a string long enough and you could accelerate it up to speeds approaching that of light. Providing there is no friction.
