If it was, the pens on my desk would be floating in the air. Of course!Īs would be the case in the special alignment of the planets, while there is a small shift when the moon is right overhead, it’s not enough to disrupt Earth’s gravitational pull. The two also heard what sounded like a music box playing, only to have the sound stop after their attempt to investigate. Then it has to be the moon’s gravitational pull. According to Twitter, the challenge came from NASA, who said that todayFebruary 10, 2020was the only day a broomstick can stand up on its own because of something to do with gravitational pull. Jeff and Amanda Davis have also witnessed a broom standing up on its own in the doorway of a room in the kitchen. While things may float around in New Orleans, or in The Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World, I did not have random objects weighing less than a broom floating around my house. can be angled or straightwith relatively stiff bristles, and stand it up so that. Wouldn’t that be wicked?! A shift in the Earth’s gravitational pull would cause things not only to stand, but float and the effects would be obvious. There are no special cosmic circumstances making it possible to balance. However, brooms can stand up by themselves if they are balanced right, according to CBS 2. If this were the case, objects weighing less than brooms would stand alone. There I am watching the news (I know, I made a mistake) and I see a story about an amazing, possibly paranormal broom that stands up by itself. Planetary alignments can not cause a considerable amount of gravitational change to make brooms stand alone. In the meantime, though, all the #broomchallenge posts are giving us a welcome new way to procrastinate on cleaning the house.If it’s not spring equinox then it has to be the planets, right?Īccording to the theories of science, nope.

So if you can get the bristles to form a sort of tripod under the broom, the handle won’t make it fall over. No, your broom isn’t haunted- there’s a scientific explanation for why it’s still standing there once you take your hand away.īrooms have a low center of gravity, down near the bristles. Balance the broom on its bristles, then let go. If you have a broom with bristles that aren’t bent out of shape, you can try it for yourself. But anyone late to the broom party needn’t worry the same thing worked just as well on the 11th and every day after that. This created a lot of excitement over the #broomchallenge on February 10th. Thanks to a viral Tweet, NASA was falsely credited with the claim that gravitational pull allows brooms to stand up unaided just one day out of the year. 144 views, 1 likes, 2 loves, 2 comments, 2 shares, Facebook Watch Videos from The Del Harrison Rockout: TheDelShow 2020: Broom Standing Up On It’s Own Day. However, if anyone tries to tell you that it happens thanks to gravitational pull or the position of the planets, they’re wrong.
