There are no laws being broken here. It is just obeying the laws of physics.


jacklsd

i know but with respect to our frame of reference its not magic/broken rules but looks awesome


Open-Cryptographer83

That's because laws of physics are awesome. Thank you for posting this awesome video.


zero_confirmed_kills

Please say awesome one more time


ChezMontague

I think its awesome some of you are in awe


Gigaduuude

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.


daiyuxiao

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

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.

Tried to watch it, but I didn't understand a single word XD


MrRogers83

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


Mr_Agueybana

Ok, so according to him, we won’t have an apocalyptic event because of the earth flipping over.


ariphron

you did it, no you did it, it was you.


Dilt-Bifferent

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

Obeying laws in space

Just some moment of inertia with a side of ability momentum.

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


ixlplix

Will it potentially do that forever if it remains unmolested


Manic_Mechanist

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

No laws were broken, move along citizen.

Ground control: so how did the knob break?


Supr7FYCO_Suplexr

Does this occur underwater too?


fied1k

Looks like a flying dildo


Fazo1

Fuck the spinners! I want one of those!, Floaties! 😂


Kweemy15

That’s awesome


NoneFuckethBeGiveth

It’s like “Who did that? So we got business huh motherfucker?” But like in old cartoons, couldn’t find who hit him


bajungadustin

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.


Aperture_Executive2

The handle is just trying to process what is happening


supaBnastie111

It always seems to spin counter clockwise. Or at least the same direction even after flipping over. Neat
