If you have the spinning bicycle wheel, then you try to spin it, your body responds by taking some of the angleo man of the wheel and giving it to the chair. If you rifle the inside of a gun, you are putting curves in it that force this fast moving bullet as it comes out to spin, and that stabilizes the bullet as as it goes forward. And so anyhow, i just spinning objects are fascinating, not only for the magnus effect that we spoke about int in another show, but for the fact that you can be spin stabilized as you move through the vacuum of space. Ogo, nego and garry, was good to see ou.
How far back in the universe’s timeline can the JWST see? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore the Coriolis Effect, hurricanes, the gridiron timeline of the universe, the physics of spinning objects, and much more!
