Will a spinning object come to rest? That's what I thought -- so the sphere can stop spinning, but does it? |

Will a spinning object come to rest? I don't think that's the case. If it were, then how does the earth tidally lock the moon? Can't the total angular momentum of the system be preserved in the particles of the sphere while the sphere itself stops spinning? You're absolutely correct for point-particle spheres (though it's not clear what it means for a point particle to spin), but I'm wondering about the internal stresses of macroscopic spheres, and whether there is a force resisting the rotation. |

How does scattering work? @MartyGreen, Kitchi is correct. The original motivation for my question stemmed from considering Rayleigh scattering, but I was wondering how a "particle" moving in a "straight line" can scatter as if it were waving all over the place. |

Why Gravity attracts all objects with the same speed? Great answer. Nitpick, though: you can sometimes prove that two quantities are exactly equal. For example, we know that electrons are identical due to their interference. I can't think of a way to do such a thing measuring gravity, but hey, never say never. |
