Most liked posts in thread: Holy levitating Slinky!

Slinky's were brought to earth by aliens.... Actually, accidently left by alien kids..... They never pick up after themselves either. We have yet to discover the full attributes of the slinky. Some scientists believe they were portable worm holes.

Scientists someday hope to marry the Escher Ascending / Descending stair with the slinky in hopes of creating the first perpetual motion machine that will provide us with unlimited energy...

Government funding for slinky research continues to this day.

 

And I thought I wasted inordinate amounts of time participating in various experiments in velocity, inertia, compression, balistics, arc, spin rate and pointless score keeping. golf

 

So if you hang off the bottom of a slinky and release the top you can hover?:drool

 

Who would have thought the slinky was the missing link to fight gravity. lol

This is just like the show "The Big Bang theory" but no good jokes.

 

There's jokes in Big Bang Theory???

 

For some reason I just don't see how the bottom would not move downward, once the entire thing was released, but then I'm not a PhD. I actually have one of those and am going to try it. Not that I don't believe him or anything.

Fun stuff.....

 

I just don't believe it. :nonod:

 

Believe it..........

 

I think the spring has something to do with it... I think there is enough "pull" upward under tension, that it balances it out...
