A property with this name has “cutoff” values that quantify the blocking of cosmic rays in Earth’s atmosphere due to geomagnetic shielding, which are typically on the order of 10 GV (“G-V”). A “strong” theorem named for this property states that the event horizon of a fixed black hole must be a Killing horizon and was proven by Stephen Hawking. A property with this name equals the ratio of linear momentum to charge for a particle in a beam, and measures the extent of the deflection of particles in a magnetic field. The disk in Ehrenfest’s paradox exhibits a strict property with this name that cannot hold in special relativity and was proposed by Max Born. A property with this name requires all pairs of points within an object to remain the same distance apart during motion. For 10 points, what property is possessed by non-deforming “bodies”? ■END■
ANSWER: rigidity [accept rigid bodies; accept Born rigidity; accept Hawking’s strong rigidity theorem; accept geomagnetic cutoff rigidity]
