Quantum Snark

Angular momentum is conserved in a closed system.

✓ TRUE FACT
If no external torque acts, total angular momentum stays constant. That’s why figure skaters spin faster when pulling arms in (reducing moment of inertia).

🤯 "Angular momentum is conserved in a closed system. Spin responsibly—it adds up."
