No matter how long the slinky is, the bottom of the slinky will stay still (hover) until the top reaches it. Even if the slinky is over 1000 feet long.
This kind of shit is why I love physics.
Science!
Woah.
Is this for real? Any physics fans have more info and can possibly explain this without too much jargon?
Update: More info at blogs.discovermagazine.com
P.s. Source seems to be the youtuber 1veritasium’s science channel. Seems pretty good, check it out!
Whoa.
This gif alone should make people love science, physics, and all that good stuff. How awesome is that?!

I wish I could remember how to explain this properly, but this is sooo cool.
I have to go buy a slinky now and try this. XP
