1. the internal tension of a slinky, even when its nearly collapsed upon itself, is greater than the force of gravity. a slinky is a torsion spring.
2. as you can see in the video you posted, the top of the slinky is stretched out and the bottom has a few spirals settled, putting the tension point above the bottom. even if it were stretched to max however the internal tension would cause the same thing.3 it is because of gravity that the top falls down, rather than both ends being sucked to the middle.4. however if you slow the slow mo down even more you'll see that the bottom falls just a slight bit before the two ends meet and the tension is released, because at some point near the end of the drop the 5.internal tension reduces to lower than the force of gravity.
6 gravity is an odd thing, it both holds all things to the earth that cannot defy it, and is at the same time a weak force compared to a lot of things. 7we walk around without feeling its effect unless we jump.
i numbered it off to help.
1. so this slinky is anti gravity and it can SUSPEND itself in mid air? due to tension it can FLOAT?
that really didnt make sense to me.
2. really still didnt show how tension can make something "float".
3. that was an assumption of what you've been told, "because of gravity" what kind of explanation is that, really didnt accept that for proof.
4. i took the time to go back and pay even closer attention and did not see it "lower", just kind of "looping/wobbling"
5. i saw it going the same speed the entire time, i didnt see the tension speed up or slow down the fall.
6 its a made up thing, it defies what my senses tell me and what i FEEL, its what we are brainwashed to believe is the 'reality'. thats why it's odd and flawed
7 when i walk around i can feel that i am denser than the air, likewise when im in water i can feel that im similar density so i can move in all dimensions.
