The BroomstickChallenge, which emerged on social media Monday, is based on faulty science, NASA says. 'There's no special gravity that only affects brooms...'
The #BroomstickChallenge, which emerged on social media Monday, is based on faulty science, according to NASA.
The challenge originated from a viral tweet, which claimed that NASA said Monday was the only day a broomstick could stand on its own because of the earth's gravitational pull. The tweet was accompanied by a video of a woman propping a broom up. As the woman watches the broom stand up on its own, she yells,"No strings, nothing."
Okay so NASA said today was the only day a broom can stand up on its own because of the gravitational pull...I didn’t believe it at first but OMG! 😭😭😭😭😭
