This is patently untrue (out of all the other mistakes):
but we spin on earth's overunity, ie free energy. They lie about that kind of stuff too!!!!
And here's why --- NO friction for a rotating body in space.
The initial energy came from external influences and forces, and that energy is stored as per the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. Or alternatively, Moment of Momentum, or Rotational Momentum. This should have been learned in second or third grade school....
Here, a refresher:
conservation of momentum
n
(Physics / General Physics) the principle that the total linear or angular momentum in any isolated system is constant, provided that no external force is applied.
www.thefreedictionary.com...
Where it is well-understood that in space there is no (or extremely minimal) friction.....friction being one example of an "external force".
People hate Wikipedia, but show where any of this much more in-depth explanation is incorrect in any way:
Angular Momentum
This is the same principle for all celestial bodies.
