A closer look
Gyroscopic precession is the physical phenomenon that keeps a spinning top upright and resists changes to its axis of rotation, which is the exact same principle that engineers use to stabilize space telescopes and intercontinental ballistic missiles; it is deeply hilarious that the underlying physics governing the navigation systems of humanity's most advanced aerospace technology is identical to the mechanics of that cheap plastic fidget spinner you bought at a gas station to cope with your untreated attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, proving that science does not discriminate between groundbreaking orbital mechanics and mindless desk toys meant to distract you from sending emails
