We've got multiple axis of rotation, and that's all happening. But to drive this apart from the bowler themselves, you've got a weit block inside. And they're not all a symmetrical. They're offset as well. So how is that then impacting on these oiles equations of motion, ander how how the ball does its thing? That's the critical piece here. The oil is not consistent over the whole length of the lane. It puts most of the oil in the first two thirds of the lane,. The last third is mostly dry id has a little bit of oil. If the ball is picking up oil the whole way down the lane, its scan slide
How do you bowl a perfect 300? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly discover Euler’s Equations of Motion and the cheat codes to bowling with physicist Dr. Dave Alciatore.
