The Dzhanibekov Effect (also known as the Tennis Racket Theorem) describes a phenomenon where rigid bodies with three different moments of inertia exhibit unstable rotation when spinning around their intermediate axis; in zero gravity, the kinetic energy and angular momentum engage in a periodic tug-of-war that causes the object to flip 180 degrees repeatedly, appearing as a physics glitch but actually representing a mathematically perfect correction of the rotating body's orientation.

Why things "flip" in space... π°οΈπAdded:
This isn't a camera trick or a ghost.
It's an unstable axis of rotation. This is the Johnny Beckov effect. In zero gravity, when an object spins around its intermediate axis, the kinetic energy and angular momentum engage in a tugof-war. The result is a periodic 180Β°ree flip that looks like a physics engine error, but it's actually a mathematically perfect correction of a rotating body in
