Theoretically, could you use an 3D grid of these devices to continuously sample the gravitational potential they're experiencing, and build a dead-reckoning navigational system?
- pdonis 5y agoFor measurements as accurate as this, if you sent out a fleet of these things to map the gravitational potential of the Earth by location, for example, you would find that the potential at a given location was changing all the time, so such a map wouldn't be useful for navigation.
- jcims 5y agoIt would also make stealth-proof gravitational radar equivalent. You would probably have to work on the acronym though.
