Levitation, magical weight loss and perpetual motion — these are just some of the tricks that have been attributed to things that spin. So do gyroscopes need their very own version of physics? Hugh Hunt debunks some myths.

Tim explores the development of this interface between abstract mathematics and our everyday lives, and explains why a painting may only be worth its wall space.
