This is not just true of slinkies - if you release a steel rod from the top, the top really starts falling before the bottom. If you hit a tennis ball with a racket, a wave has to travel from the strings to your hand before you feel it - and the ball is well on its way to the net by this time. If you hit a golf ball, the ball is well on its way to the hole before you can feel it. Rigid bodies aren't truly rigid and understanding this is essential to understanding the way the world works

This is an excerpt from a video I made 10 years ago - seemed like the perfect thing to show in vertical format. I was unaware Action Labs had recently made a video about the same thing. A regular video should be out Friday/Saturday this week.

Slinky: *isn’t falling* Gravity: wait that’s illegal

It's like in cartoons when the character runs off a cliff, but is still running on the spot and falls seconds later.

Now I wonder what happens when you get a REALLY long one and drop it from really high. Would it look like it’s floating for a couple seconds? If so then cool

"This is the longest slinky I have access to" Implying there's longer slinkies but they're in secret underground vaults protected by the pope

“That is the longest slinky I have access to.” The question is, what slinkies do you NOT have access to?!

This is the most counterintuitive thing I've ever seen.

The fact that a slinky is capable of defying physics explains why its arrangement gets screwed up after 10 minutes has been spent playing with it.

The slinky is just like a Cartoon character when He sees that there's nothing down beneath him, He falls.

Someone should make a slinky almost as tall as the Empire State Building and then let it fall from the top so it’s just staying still for a while

Crazy how the top of a slinky can get beneath the bottom before the bottom starts moving down

I think this proves it. Slinkies are magic.
