Quote:I just tend to question the validity of "scientific fact". But, can you explain the phenomena of gyroscopes? How in the hell do they defy gravity?
It's good that you question things. But you have to understand that you must accept some aspects of a system in order to build on it. You must accept the laws of gravition and electro-magnetic forces in order to understand orbital mechanics...shit like that
About the gyroscope thing, what you are refering to is a phenomenon known as precession. I can try to explain it, but there is a site that does a pretty good job of doing just that. Try this site How Stuff Works: Gyroscope
It's a pretty straightforward and simple explaination.

Your pocket Bible will stop an assailant's bullet, but not before it passes through four innocent bystanders, a school-bus gas tank, and your genitals.
