Full figure (34 kB)Fig. 1. The moving inward experiment: (a) Two of us stand on the outer edge of the MGR while a third person sits on the inside to start the data collection and tell the others when to start coming in. A fourth person spins up the MGR (and stops it after the experiment). (b) Once we have moved inside as much as we are able to given space constraints and our ability to pull ourselves inward.

Notice that the transition in (a) is cleaner than in (b) since it was very easy to move outward on the MGR but moving inward was quite a struggle. First citation in article
