Physics completely abandons intuition when things start spinning quickly. If you push on a heavy, rapidly rotating disc, the force does not affect the object where you pushed it. Instead, through the magic of gyroscopic precession, the force manifests exactly ninety degrees later in the direction of rotation. It is an absurd conservation of angular momentum that forces helicopters to have insanely complicated mechanical linkages just to steer.
