Jerrad et al.'s conjecture that every convex polyhedron is Rupert

From papers

A Rupert compact convex set SR3S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3 admits a passage in which a second copy of SS passes straight through a hole in the interior of the first, with rescaling factor μS>1\mu_S>1. The Nieuwland constant μS\mu_S is the largest possible rescaling factor for such a passage. Jerrad et al.'s conjecture. Every convex polyhedron in R3\mathbb{R}^3 is Rupert. The conjecture asks whether the Rupert property holds universally for three-dimensional convex polyhedra; the paper notes that the unit ball is not Rupert and that several Archimedean and Catalan solids remain unresolved.
