Okay so nasa said today was the only day a broom can stand up on its own because of the gravitational pull.
Brooms standing up alone.
If you ve already tried this rest assured that you re not alone.
It has nothing to do with earth s gravitational pull on a certain day.
It s just a matter of fanning out the bristles like a tripod and.
The bristles are soft enough to spread out a bit at the contact point with the floor and provide a stable base to support the handle and allow the broom to balance.
The truth is the idea of a broom standing up by itself because of the earth s gravitational pull is nothing new.
There was a cnn news clip from 2012 that actually dispelled the notion altogether since there is also a theory that the spring equinox causes the same effect as people claimed the elusive feb.
It also has nothing to do with the vernal equinox another day of the year when this magic supposedly happens.
Getting a broom to stand alone has nothing to do with the date on the calendar in case you were sucked in by the original tweet.
