Is the energy of a rotating cylindrical spacecraft conserved when a point-like astronaut climbs up a spoke connecting the walls with the center of the cylinder?
If so, when I calculate the fractional change in apparent gravity at the walls when the astronaut reaches the middle I get different answers using conservation of angular momentum and conservation of energy
