Abstract
During their afternoon walks about the piazza, Sagredo and Salviati discuss the significance of spacetime rigidity: the non-existence of distinct isometries that restrict to the same isometry on an open subset of their domain. Their conversations clarify a number of foundational and philosophical results regarding general relativity.
