The Scallop Theorem states that a swimming microorganism confined to a low Reynolds number environment cannot achieve net motion using only a reciprocal motion because of the symmetry inherent in such a stroke. This theorem implies that for a microorganism to move effectively at such scales, it must perform non-reciprocal strokes to break time-reversal symmetry in its locomotion strategy.
