Mathematics, Physics. "Dirac's Belt Trick is a clever way to remove two full twists in a ribbon by simply moving it around. This gives a way of connecting cables to a rotating object without them twisting or tangling." By Matt Henderson, Matt Henderson, used with permission.

Astronaut Tim Peake demonstrates aboard the International Space Station, a stationary object in microgravity will tumble aimlessly with even the slightest tap. But once a gyroscope begins to spin, it instantly locks into a rigid geometric plane, stubbornly refusing to be tilted. This phenomenon is driven by angular momentum. The rapid rotation creates a powerful resistance to outside forces, granting the object an invisible, unyielding stability. This is far more than a simple physics trick. This exact principle of spin stabilization is what keeps the massive space station perfectly oriented as it orbits the Earth; a profound reminder that in the chaotic vacuum of space, sometimes the only way to stay perfectly still is to keep moving.

Quantum levitation is a phenomenon where superconductors, when cooled to extremely low temperatures, can levitate above magnetic surfaces. In this demonstration by Ithaca College Physics, the magnetic surface used is a Möbius strip with 3 twists.

Last week Matt Goodwin was odds on to win the Gorton and Denton by-election. He is now 4/1. Who would have thought that driving around in a massive blue bus with a bunch of of Indians in matching turbans wasn’t the best way to mobilise White working class voters?

🔧 This quick trick to fix a square that’s out of square is so satisfying. This guy shows a super simple way to check and straighten a framing square that’s no longer perfectly square — and it actually works. It’s such a clever little fix for anyone who works with tools or does DIY projects. Have you ever seen or done this simple trick to fix your square before? 🔨

The unilateral style of Trump's foreign policy — the way in which his administration wages war and interventionist campaigns without congressional approval, or even a manufactured pretext — is enabled by the groundwork that was laid by neocons during the War on Terror, says Matt Kennard.

Earth orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the center of the galaxy... but what is the Milky Way itself orbiting? The Milky Way is not orbiting a single object. Instead, it is moving around a shared center of mass alongside the Andromeda galaxy. While most of the universe is being pushed apart by dark energy, the gravity within our "Local Group" is strong enough to pull these two galaxies toward each other in a slow "cosmic dance." This movement isn't a clean, circular orbit; it is a direct path toward a massive collision and merger that will occur in about 4 to 5 billion years.
