@quantumclips2187: The Dzhanibekov effect, or tennis racket theorem, is a classical mechanics phenomenon where a spinning object in microgravity (or freefall) flips 180 degrees every few rotations when spinning around its intermediate principal axis. #space #Science #axis #theories #smart ☀️🪐

BreezyBird_ :

Whenever I feel stupid, I just look through a TikTok comment section on a space video.

Big Budget Jesus :

It amazes me that this was predicted and mathematically figured out more a century ago.

Mr Tuff :

Up down UP DOWN

Goonerboy :

Ignoring the doubters, anyone else think this is a really cool bit of science?

arcade :

Tried to look for a further explanation on this and all I see is people non stop talking about how space is fake

Raza :

thats exactly how earth changes axis and flips upside down.

DinoCharlie :

For those wondering, it's because objects like this have 3 moments of inertia as opposed to objects that flip normally with 2. Or things like spheres with 1.

🏹Shask🏹 :

they could not send me to space for any important reason I would just get distracted by all the new physics that need explored and tested 😂

Capelush :

Me trying to understand

🇬🇭JeanJacques Dessalines🇺🇸 :

That is the Dzhanibekov effect

GreySky :

that's so fucking cool to see

Memento Mori :

I get that it happens, what I don’t understand is why..?

Al16640🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 :

You’re not in space 👌

.fannnn7653 :

Up down up down

Mr.Fancy :

It’s an unstable axis so it flips you can do the same thing with a tennis racket or your phone by flipping it towards you

kevinkimpton :

but what is up and what is down in space 🤔

CrackFurby :

Because it's on a string

thisnamefillsuwithdetn :

I'm most likely wrong, but it seems like it's because of centrifugal force to me ✌️

Yavas :

Proof space is real. I’ll wait

Pedro.EXE :

Really cool how that works

Bo :

Paul :

The results of our torus field... you are here.

smellslikequchie :

laws of physics kinda piss me off sometimes

SB Backup :

I thought there was "no up and down in space"? 😂😂😂
