Smarter Every Day – Slow Motion Flipping Cat Physics
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

If my wife ever sees this video, that guy is a dead man walking.
Cat: So what? Time for my nap.
Cat: Are you still here to bug me ?
Cat: You are so pitiful. Go be a human elsewhere.
Cat: snooze ……
This is a pretty zoned out cat. Just another day in the park!
Only humans will put human emotions on animals. For this cat, it is no problem. It can do it with a blindfold (Almost).

Reminds me of a segment of the TV program “You Asked For It” from the early 60’s. They were asking the same cat question except they drop a cat from a low flying, very slow speed Piper Cub. Yep, 4-leg landing every time. Can’t do that today because the Animals-are-more human people than evil humans are Liberal crowd would burn down the station, but execute the person dropping the cat.
Bread always lands butter side down, as well.
So if they attached buttered bread to the back of the cat and toss it in the air…
perpetual motion!!!
