1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

It's nice to see someone different solving one as the CCC seems to have dwindled down to a handful of us.

Yep,
Just a sensational article title.
There's no new physics here. Here is a video of an ice skater changing shape[^]. Video makes it easy to understand conservation of angular momentum. The experiment in the article confirms the existing prediction that changing shape (and angular momentum) in curved space can be used for locomotion.
It's the experimental setup and accurate measurements that's really a breakthrough. The setup they are using to make these measurements reminds me of the old Foucault gyroscope[^].

No, no, no!
You got this completely wrong:
Quote: They then connected this system holistically to a rotating shaft
and Quote: These forces hybridized with the curvature effects
Do you know how dangerous it is to hybridaze the forces with the curvature effects, specially when they are connected hollistically?
Just one more that had me scratching my head:
Quote: the slight frequency shift induced by gravity became crucial to allow GPS systems to accurately convey their positions to orbital satellites
What frequency? What GPS systems?

It took me a few minutes to realize that you were quoting the article here:
Georgia Tech Researchers Defy Standard Laws of Physics[^]
Mircea Neacsu wrote: It's hard to penetrate such a thick layer of BS
You should contact the U.S. Department of Defense and let them know! They paid for the experiment under contract W911NF-19-1-0056
Tell them Codeproject Bob sent you!

"... the existing prediction that changing shape (and angular momentum) in curved space can be used for locomotion."
Would very much like to see reference in Classical Text re/ same. Thank You Kindly

From Scientific American August 2009 "Swimming in SpaceTime" in curved space the notion of center of mass is not so simple. As a result upon certain repetitive changes in one's geometry/shape the center of mass can translate across said curved surface w/o need of pushing against it and w/o need of propellant. Imagine e.g. whilst upon a friction free curved ice pond flailing one's arms and legs in a certain manner one finds oneself gliding in some direction. It must be stressed a curved surface is required also it must be stressed no new physics here it is rather a matter of Newton's laws in simple/usual/conventional form assume flat space but can not be interpreted in the usual way in curved space instead require more care.
