Where the philosopher Socrates would pose a question without giving an immediate answer, thereby inviting his students to think for themselves, and rather guide the students to enlightenment, instead of delivering the answer on a silver plate.
SIMPLE - because the phone's center of mass lies on the rotation plane in case 1, and on the rotation axis line in case 2. While in case 3, the center of mass doesn't lie on the rotation axis, hence the center of mass position shifts out of the rotation line, hence forces the device to rotate around the other dimension. You're welcome.
This video idea was stolen from one of his friends who has a chronic illness now and can't make videos. What a stab in the back. Remember physics girl and the Rodney Mullen Impossible flip vid?
As an experienced phone flipper, this is one of the first things I've mastered. I can literally choose which side it lands on, and even change the rotation speed on any of the chosen axis. Sometimes it feels like a superpower.
Veritasium isn't right about everything. As a matter of fact he's been known to push agendas. It's true. Idk why he does it but he does. Probably money related.
Intermediate axis theorem, basically every imperfection of your throw will be amplified, so not impossible, just very hard because you need a near perfect throw
I would also add in the combinatiom of air resistance to the larger surface area and the inability to perfectly align the force applied to the phone straight down the middle.
Nope. It would also happen if the phone had a completely uniform weight distribution across it's shape. (But it wouldn't happen if you were able to perfectly flip it in a vacuum, so that there are absolutely no forces in the unintended direction of rotation from the start on)
He has long video about this effect including very detailed explanation. This is Janibekov’s Effect - named after USSR cosmonaut who first observed and described in detail this effect at the Salut-7 space station in 1986.

It’s about symmetry of the center of mass. The COM is not vertically aligned with the charging port (probably from the weight of the cameras but that could be wrong) so when you try to flip the phone end over end, you are applying different forces on each side of the center of mass making it rotate.
For real, you just offset the way you apply the force to the phone and it flips just fine. I don't know why Veritasium has so much difficulty with this lol, it kinda discredits him a bit calling this "impossible".
Yeah, there's still irregularities, but they're much less noticeable because of the different axis, aka physics. If there's less momentum, then the weight differences will take over and make it spin weirdly like that. Kinda like the blowing your own sail myth, it works, if you blow reaaaally hard, which will kinda defeat the purpose of transportation, but it still proves that it is possible. Saying that this is impossible is just simply clickbait, and it worked, because we're here talking about it.
You can't do it. Not for at least a couple solid 360° rotations. One flip really fast doesn't count. Look up the intermediate axis (Tennis Racket) theorem, it's a well established effect. I would implore you to share a video of you disproving this theorem if you are indeed managing multiple rotations along your rectangular phone's intermediate (long/wide) axis.
@thequantaleaper According to the Wikipedia article for Tennis Racket theorm: "In almost all cases, during that rotation the face will also have completed a half rotation, so that the other face is now up." Note those first few words: "ALMOST all cases", meaning it is totally possible, just difficult. You just have to ensure that the force applied is arbitrarily close enough to the axis line to prevent significant rotation.
I think its Because it's center of mass isn't in the middle. The phone isn't symmetrical in weight along its axis thus making it divert or rotate along its askew center.
The *_OPPOSITE OF HATE_* is how i *_PERCEIVE_* for the part where he explained how... He gave *_CONSEQUENTLY EXCEEDINGLY_* information... It was *_UNQUESTIONABLY SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!_*
It happens because the internal parts weigh differently and are not evenly distributed inside the device. For example, the battery is not centered inside of the phone and is the heaviest part.
The phone is not perfectly aligned while spinning i.e. the center of gravity while spinning is not perfectly aligned to its home button or charger port for instance
Plot Twist: He wants us to just figure it out ourselves, so that we end up breaking our phones while trying. Sorry but I'm not falling for this trick even if my phone may be unbreakable.

no. this also happens with a perfect brick, with its center of mass right in the middle

It’s not just that, because it’s true even for objects of perfectly homogeneous density.

Great now im in the bathroom resisting the urge to start flipping my phone over the tile.
Dude, why? Phones today don't break so easily. (Except for apple)

myth busted, it's hard but not impossible.
For real, you just offset the way you apply the force to the phone and it flips just fine.
I don't know why Veritasium has so much difficulty with this lol, it kinda discredits him a bit calling this "impossible".
Indeed. You can learn to do it consistently in an hour

Ahhh.... Now I have a crack on my phone. Thanks a lot man🙄🙄
Probably all the gizmos and gadgets inside the phone weighing parts down
No bro, I don't have enough money to buy another
It happens because the internal parts weigh differently and are not evenly distributed inside the device. For example, the battery is not centered inside of the phone and is the heaviest part.
Why doesn't this work for when we flip it horizontally
I just broke the laws of physics
I did it…
I love how he did use the last 35 seconds to explain or at least try to. What a (non) scam.
The phone is not perfectly aligned while spinning i.e. the center of gravity while spinning is not perfectly aligned to its home button or charger port for instance
Because the weight of the phone isn't balanced across, as it's interior isn't perfectly symetrical?

Plus is is kinda dumb to use an expensive phone.

Because the geometrical symmetry axes are not the same as those of the mass distribution.
