This looks so fun to do! Would this be angular momentum?

Yup! Exactly that. It's the same thing that will make it not fall straight down when suspended.

Feels like there's another part of the lecture showing that

Hope someone will post a video of it if there is! That would be cool to see!

Not the same lecture, but I found one that shows it! I'll post it here too!

Professor Walter Lewin! The whole video is great and makes me wish all teachers were as enthusiastic as him.

Just went to find it and wow is he awesome!

You weren't kidding about the whole video!
