VENUS Rotates BACKWARDS And Nobody Can Explain Why — Feynman's Warning

Описание: You think you know the planets. You learned the order in school, maybe even the colors. But there's one detail about Venus that should keep you up at night — it's spinning the wrong way. Every other planet got the memo. Venus didn't. And after 300+ years of trying, we still can't definitively explain why.
In this video, we explore Venus's retrograde rotation through the lens of Richard Feynman's approach to unsolved problems — the honest admission of what we know, what we suspect, and what we're still guessing at. Drawing from Feynman's philosophy of scientific honesty, we investigate the competing hypotheses: catastrophic impact, atmospheric tidal evolution, and the remarkable 2001 Correia & Laskar model that showed Venus could only end up in one of four rotation states.
