How do cats land on their feet? Discover how this question stumped
brilliant minds and how its answer helped solve other seemingly
impossible puzzles The question of how falling cats land on their
feet has long intrigued humans. In this playful and eye-opening
history, physicist and cat parent Gregory Gbur explores how
attempts to understand the cat-righting reflex have provided
crucial insights into puzzles in mathematics, geophysics,
neuroscience, and human space exploration. The result is an
engaging tumble through physics, physiology, photography, and
robotics to uncover, through scientific debate, the secret of the
acrobatic performance known as cat-turning, the cat flip, and the
cat twist. Readers 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.
