This research was supported in part by a grant to the first author from the National Institute of
Aging (AG16648-1).

NOTE
1. It is often overlooked, but critical to note that these reported values are, in essence, never actually
observed in the real-world. Rather, they represent an ideal that can only be approximated, such
as the speed of an object on a frictionless inclined plane.
