Does this also work for curved space time? Or is that type of curvature not going to help because it's relativistic? Or is the shape wrong? They mention that it doesn't work for cylinders.
- omnicognate 4y agoThe abstract says "the noncommutativity of translations permits translation without momentum exchange in either gravitationally curved spacetime or the curved surfaces encountered by locomotors in real-world environments." The idea isn't new. This is an experimental verification of it in the case of curved surfaces, not gravitationally curved space, but it should work for both.
