Los gatos siempre caen bien

Con Los gatos siempre caen bien, no me refiero a que seas progratos, sino que son unos animales muy hábiles y ágiles que siempre consiguen caer de 4 patas cuando se les lanza. Precisamente este ha sido el estudio que han hecho los de Smarter Every Day

High Speed Video of Flipping Cats | Smarter Every Day 58 (Cute Cat vs Physics)



High Speed video. Cats. Physics. Weightlessness. Of all my videos, if you don't share this one, you probably never will. Please consider sharing by clicking here: http://bit.ly/FLIPPIN_CATS GiGi was not hurt during the making of this video. We took great care to make sure she would be safe. Next I'll explain how the physics involved in flipping cats allow us to operate Space Telescopes (Seriously).
So as simple of a question as this is, it turns out to be a MAJOR POINT OF STUDY in Physics, Robotics, Space Satellite Control, Weapons Development, Biomedical Engineering, etc. It's stumped scientists and engineers since Newton's day. Here's something interesting. The cat isn't twisting his back.. he's actually BENDING it. The next video will go into great detail about what's going on there, and explain how it relates to studying the farthest points in the universe (Seriously... the fact that a cat can do this allows us to study the Universe.. no exaggeration).

The high speed camera used was a Phantom Miro M320S. Rent one yourself by clicking here:
