Does General Relativity "break" Ergodicity?
Ergodicity is "the idea that a point of a moving system, either a dynamical system or a stochastic process, will eventually visit all parts of the space that the system moves in, in a uniform and random … So is it appropriate to think that general relativity break ergodicity? …
