It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?

The issue is, that kind of stick wouldn't even exist. You'd have better luck with between some dwarf planet and its satellite, since the stick would break under its mere weight.

It's a thought experiment. Of course such a stick wouldn't exist. OP's question is what laws of physics prevent this theoretical scenario from working.
