The Dzhanibekov Effect Revisited: Informational Hysteresis, Anisotropic Latency Fields, and Regime Transitions in Torque-Free Rotation

2026-03-05

Abstract excerpt

The Dzhanibekov effect—also known as the tennis racket theorem in its classical formulation—remains one of the most visually striking and widely circulated demonstrations of rotational instability in torque-free motion. A rigid body spinning about its intermediate principal axis undergoes abrupt, repeated flips that appear paradoxical to non-specialists and counterintuitive even to many trained physicists when enc...
