[QUOTE="phinds, post: 6331382, member: 310841"] I certainly would not expect that to be the case. Think about it. The center of mass, which is what you have to be looking for the motion of, is going to be static for noticeable periods while the top of the slinky moves forward and then again briefly as the top catches up on the next step down.
