We have, we have a measure that little change in mass asymmetry to see what kind of effect that would have with a spinning ball. And they do. If the ball, if the free kick is more central, then it's most likely a direct strike on goal. This then invariably ends up as a knuckle ball. Now, I would like to know what the physics are behind contacting. What is a vulnerable point on the ball in terms of changing how things are inside an obviously yeah. Eric, you're letting us down here without having checked the check the valve. It's just funding. That's all it is. Oh man, that's great. That's good answer.
What physics are at play in The FIFA World Cup? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and Gary O’Reilly explore all the science of soccer with physics professor John Eric Goff. Is this year’s official ball made for scoring goals?
