Please excuse my naivete, but this thought experiment has been running through my mind all week.
Suppose you have three people in room. Suppose the room is sealed such that no air can come in and no air can come out. Suppose there's enough oxygen in the room for us to conduct our experiment( what happens to the three individuals after the experiment is irrelevant). Since the room is completely sealed, if one of the three individual takes a step forward, is it the case that the other two will be compelled against their will to move in order to adjust to the displacement created by the first individual?
If not, why?
Thank you,
M
