Spinning 

Waazaaap I'm a cool kid now

"...or wazzz uuuup, as the cool kids say now a days." I was that cool kid in 2002

I am 73 years old. 55 years ago I took physics 101 and got an "A" but this is the first time in my life that I have really understood centripetal force and the Coriolis effect in my life. Thanks Michael!

It's impressive how Michael is able to cut out such a perfect circular cardboard disc

VSauce, why do we always wake up right before the best part in our dreams?

*"wazab, as the cool kids are saying"*

"Lesson 5... This truly was a roundabout path.. Thank you, Gyro..."

4:11 "When a car urine.." Ah, yes, intellectual captions

I spent a year in high school learning what could have been explained in 16 minutes.

I suddenly have a great urge to buy a gyroscope

Jokes aside, can we take a moment to appreciate how kind he is doing this for Alzheimer's research

I was bad at science as a kid, not due to lack of curiosity but because I have trouble focusing on things that are not immediately engaging. I'm shocked with how interesting and clear these explanations are! I feel like this really makes sense. I wish science was taught this way at school.

Gyro approves

Vsause: "This head ain't comin off!" Isis militant: "hold my goat"

"Do you want my head delivered to your door in a box?" "Uh...no..." "WELL TOO BAD" "Why did my doorbell just ring?"

I really like the way this was explained step by step with visuals, rather than just having us plug numbers into formulas

Michael pls. no one says wazup nowadays XD

I want Michael to personally explain Quantam Physics to me.

This video came out on my 12th birthday, I’m 18 now and vsauce is still my go to comfort youtuber ❤️

People say VSauce came out a different man after Mind Field. VSauce before Mind Field: "DO YOU WANT MY HEAD DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR IN A BOX?"

0:12 King Louis XVI seconds before death

I like how he posts this right after my circular motion physics exam

That wheel tire demonstration will never not be awesome

*”Arigato, Gyro.”* - Johnny Joestar

Hey I got a box! What could be... "Hey Vsauce! Micheal he..." *AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!*

why isn't V-sauce on the RU-vid rewind?

I am a student pilot who needs to understand about gyroscopes for flight instruments and for how propellers behave. This is the only video out of the dozen or so I watched that actually taught me why gyroscopes behave the way they do, and it did so in an entertaining and engaging fashion. Thank you Michael!

This is one of the most efficient educational videos on RU-vid. Afer learning physics in school and university (not my main subject) I had to turn 40 to finally understand precession.

"Mom! Vsauce broke my mind again!"

RU-vid Red is the greatest betrayal on the internet

What an astounding communicator Michael is.

11:00 the teacher stare

I’m living in Spain, but the “A” is silent

We're so lucky. Getting cool lessons from the greatest teachers of our species while drunk in your underwear.

Amazing! First time I have heard a somewhat intuitive explanation for the “90 degrees ahead effect”

Wow mikle sounded really disappointed when he used earth doesn't spin fast enough for that. 15:50

I don't know, Michael. It just seems like you're going around in circles in this video.

How the hell can people still think that the earth is flat

Very good video. Great explanations, graphics, and really well presented.

Never knew a video titled “spinning” could be so meaningful.

"This is a cardboard disk, I cut it myself" Good job Michael Good job

Seems to me every new Vsauce video has more dank memes in em

“This head is never coming off!” Or is it?

Vsauce: but hey, that's just a force, a centripetal force Vsauce physics theory, alternative universe Oh so we enter quantum mechanics now

when you pretend you understand the video so you don't hate yourself

0:14 Michael: This head ain't never coming off! ... Or is it...?

It's always a treat to have a foreigner pronounce Hungarian stuff correctly :) The way you said "Eötvös" was spot on.

I have now learned that vsauce videos aren't to be clicked for the title of thumbnail, they just are all good and I'm never disappointed

7:45 He seems so proud of himself.

that moment you realize you learn more on the internet than on school itself

After many years studying this topics, and after years watching Vsauce, this continues to be the BEST EXPLANATION I've came across. Hail Michael!! Huge thanks!

Why am I watching this at 5am in the morning. Now I need to learn more about inertia, centrifugal force and life

1st Vsauce video that I can partially understand.

Michael has some weird "cool kids" in his area..

man you are awsome plz make more physics videos like this

The rewatch ability of Michael's content is amazing

0:17 The *Neckst* best Thing...

I like to spin the gyroscope and put it in my belly button.

Been on RU-vid for hours trying to grasp this you’ve done it in 11 minutes thank you!

What makes this stuff so great is that Vsauce doesn't OVER explain things. They focus on the simple straightforward explanation and repeat it a couple times. Reenforcing it. Pushing you to that "aha" moment. That's why it's better to keep explanations short and to the point. Instead of going on and on and on and on and on and on and on until the person is like "what was this person talking about?"

video idea "How much is an 'instant'?"

11:33 When the cavemen first discovered a wheel

I saw a kid on a plane with a gyro just like this and I asked him where he got it. It was from the Boeing gift shop in Washington state and I lived like 20 minutes away from the place. My dad took me there to get one, but it was a really nice one and cost 100$ so I had to wait until my birthday. I never had such a hard time waiting for my birthday before, or since then. I absolutely loved that thing and it probably is what really planted the seed of my fascination with science. That seed grew into a lifelong passion for the STEM fields, particularly those of math and nuclear physics.

never before have I clicked on a video and the first words that came out of the person's mouth were "do you want my head delivered to you in a box?" "too bad."

Weird how, even all these years later, that’s still what the cool kids say. And how they say it

Thank you for making physics fun and easier to understand

Is it just me or are the thumbnails low-key modern art?

7:45 "I cut it out myself" *Looks at disk* Wow, that's impressive. Edit: *looks at comment section* what have i started

Best Disc Golf explanation of disc "stability" ratings/attitude, ever! When thrown, the disc should be relatively flat, if the leading edge is higher, air hit the bottom front more, disc leans = overstable disc. And, visa versa.

I love when he randomly turns into a salesman

The Coriolis Effect is my personal favorite QED with flat-earthers, because it's not some abstract thing. You can literally go out in the desert with a rifle and watch as your bullets land in different places depending on which direction you're shooting.

Would be a sick new design for a beyblade.

I am studying mechanical engineering, It's my first time to understand Coriolis ever thanks alot man, I appreciate your magnificent skills of delivering information ❤️

The intro is the most cursed part of this video

0:17 "The *_necks_* best thing"

That paper airplane example was so inaccurate, for that to happen I would need a friend.

I actually heard about helicopter rotors (and gyroscopes in general) "feeling" forces 90 degrees after the force was applied a while back and was very confused. Turns out I already knew why that happens, from doing orbital maneuvers in ksp. I just never thought about connecting the dots between orbital mechanics and helicopters. I love physics.

Wazzape, perfect cool kid slang by vsauce

If spinning things are so stable, why is my life fragile, unstable _and_ spinning out of control? HEY, MICHAEL?!

"I've run out of air" Don't panic everyone it's easy to find.

THANK YOU for not glossing over WHY force and torque are perpendicular to rotation. Never made sense to me until today bless you!

12:40 This is an incredible way to intuit the Coreolis Effect. I never quite pictured it before. Thanks!

7:42 I cut it out myself 👏 congrats you're a big boy now 😂

"This head ain't never comin off."

i just love you so much , this is so informativ and entertaining at the same time :D

If you think about it, this is like a min-maxing guide to how you can shoot properly in Rocket League

Much self promo... But if anyone deserves to do a lot of self promo, it's Vsause XD

7:44 impressive.

"It truly was a roundabout path... Thank you, Gyro."

me entering a vsauce video: confused me after leaving a vsause video: still confused with a existential crisis

No one: Not a single soul: Michael:would you like my head delivered to you in a box

My friends johnny and diego told me about a guy called gyro who knew some very cool spinning tricks

Man I can’t wait to open the curiosity box it’s gonna be so coo- AHHHH!!!!

0:20 Imagine Michael asking you if you want to be in a Vsauce video and your role is handing him a box off-screen

I wanted to learn Gyro's spin with steel balls. Worth it!

"Hey, Vsauce" Me: ok normal video Also Micheal: do you want my head delivered to you in a box?

Finally! My questions about spinny things have been answered! This was why fidget spinners would have weird twisty forces when you tried to spin it perpendicular to its rotation. And this is why tops work. And this is why bikes only stand while moving. I am happy now.

i havent had to think this hard about a v scauce video in my life im loving it
