   You may have seen videos of a wing nut in space spinning and suddenly flipping about its axis. Here, Veritasium offers an intuitive explanation for it (originally given by mathematician Terry Tao).

   He then goes on to show why objects in space that spin on their long axis will start to tumble and spin on another axis. And also why ideas that the Earth's axis will flip are wrong.
