Falling Felines and Fundamental Physics

How do cats land on their feet? This question has intrigued humans for a long time. Physicist and cat parent Gregory Gbur explores how attempts to understand the cat-righting reflex have provided insights into puzzles in mathematics, geophysics, neuroscience, and human space exploration.The result is an engaging journey through physics, physiology, photography, and robotics to uncover the secret of cat-turning, the cat flip, and the cat twist. Readers will learn the solution but also discover that the finer details still inspire heated arguments. As with other cat behavior, the more we investigate, the more surprises we discover.
