Gyroscopic Motion Is Akin To An Illusion

Why does the gyroscope fall over at low speeds? Ideas are made up to justify the fictitious concepts of torque, angular momentum, and angular velocity. But no substantial mathematical analysis is presented of the basic physics.


It took me 28 years of thinking about precession to formulate the questions and analysis to be able to create a framework for AI to work with. At the same time I thought I'd never figure it out since I never saw AI coming at this speed of advancement. The 3D modeling is too complex for the human brain and I could only grasp at small pieces of the whole puzzle.


Claude AI did in a couple of minutes what the human brain can't. It solved precession with basic analysis bypassing nonsense like the right hand rule and torque vectors.


Garbage in, garbage out. That's what happens when one uses Euler's rotational dynamics like angular momentum, and angular velocity, to explain reality. I will repeat it again: Euler and Leibniz didn't do experiments and they corrupted physics with their physical laziness and religious ideological fervor. They were no Isaac Newton, who did experiments, and was in some sense able to separate his religious beliefs from his scientific works.


It's sad that humanity doesn't, for the most part, care about the truth and upholds people who propagate myths.


I pushed Opus AI to the limit and it disassembled gyroscopic motion to basic force vectors, momentum and kinematics. The animations don't work well as AI still isn't advanced enough to do such complex visualization tasks. AI still interjects some phrases and equations using "impulse" and I will work on removing this ephemeral concept, but overall the presentation is amazing.


The result is almost shocking and something I suspected all along. What we get taught in textbooks and in universities is not found in reality. The gyroscope always falls in the direction of its tilting force. This is virtually imperceptible when its spinning rapidly and has a large mass.


Precession is akin to an ILLUSION, however, using nonsense like the "right hand rule" and "torque" to "understand" precession removes the falling... leading to fantasy.


Precession is a displaced pendulum which is always dropping. The oscillation eventually ends up in equilibrium at the bottom. Just like a pendulum does:
