Falling Felines and Fundamental Physics

Abstract

How do cats almost always seem to land on their feet? Greg Gbur takes us on a history of the subject, which ranges from the formal beginning of physics itself to the current day, and discusses the physics, history, and controversy of the phenomenon, as well as its connection to more profound physical concepts. There will, of course, be many cat videos.
