It is like jumping on and off a carousel: what happens to neutrons changing from a non-rotating frame of reference into a rotating frame of reference -- and back? 30 years ago, scientists predicted that this would lead to interesting interference effects, because neutron spin show a special kind of inertia. Now, this has been verified in an experiment.
