it's not just the human brain. certain g-loads at certain vectors can cause a situation where 2 different scenarios are indistinguishable without outside reference. Illustrated most famously in Einstein's elevator thought experiments.
- blakeweb 15y agoCould you explain what you mean? My understanding was that Attitude indicators solved this problem using a gyroscope a long time ago. Maybe this falls into what you meant by an "outside reference", but it seems to me autopilots would clearly take these measurements into account. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator
