in this video taken in zero gravity in a space station,
what I was looking at is called the Dzhanibekov effect, named after Vladimir Aleksandrovich Dzhanibekov who is a former cosmonaut, the effect is also called the Tennis Racket theorem, it occurs when any object is spun in each of
its 3 different axis,
to make sense of all of this I found this short video in the web, so the next time I drop my mobile telephone I can watch and now know why it spins, twists and tumbles, before Mr. Gravity claims it.
