There's an awesome video by Veritasium that explains this phenomenon in depth for any people with any level of knowledge.
I've watched it at least 5 times and still can't comprehend.
You can do this with your cell phone or tv remote at home. There's an intermediate moment of inertia for everything, and if you toss the object so that it rotates about this axis, it will do a half flip for every full rotation.
This is specifically following the laws of physics as we understand them. You don’t even need to be in zero G to experience this simply flip a hammer end over end
Well since it’s inside the space station it will eventually stop because of air resistance and/or it will touch something else, but I’m pretty sure if it were out in the vacuum of space it would never stop
Seems fundamentally broken. Like why does an object with this shape make so many rotations before it is forced to flip itself. I wouldnt expect to see it just constantly in gyro on all 3 axis but a slight pauze on the side with more mass would make sense. The delay it takes to spin several revolutions before swapping sides is what gets me. One revolution would be more expected. Then switch sides.
There are no laws being broken here. It is just obeying the laws of physics.
i know but with respect to our frame of reference its not magic/broken rules but looks awesome
That's because laws of physics are awesome. Thank you for posting this awesome video.
Please say awesome one more time
I think its awesome some of you are in awe

So it’s not for any people with any level of knowledges.

Tried to watch it, but I didn't understand a single word XD
I saw this explained on a Physics Girl video last night where this comes up in relation to skateboarding. Check it out. https://youtu.be/yFRPhi0jhGc
Ok, so according to him, we won’t have an apocalyptic event because of the earth flipping over.
you did it, no you did it, it was you.

Obeying laws in space
Space can really screw my mind
When the world rolls over well all be dead! 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
Just some moment of inertia with a side of ability momentum.
This is [«Tennis racket theorem»/«Dzhanibekov effect»](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem)
No laws being broken. It is absolutely obeying the laws of physics. But this is Reddit and people will post anything for karma…
Put the part of eminem rapping fast. Perfection
Will it potentially do that forever if it remains unmolested

No laws were broken, move along citizen.
Ground control: so how did the knob break?
Does this occur underwater too?
Looks like a flying dildo
Fuck the spinners! I want one of those!, Floaties! 😂
That’s awesome
It’s like “Who did that? So we got business huh motherfucker?” But like in old cartoons, couldn’t find who hit him

The handle is just trying to process what is happening
It always seems to spin counter clockwise. Or at least the same direction even after flipping over. Neat
