Do so. A good friend of mine is a phyisicist and I know what he will say when he sees this: “Well, this is perfectly simple, because [technobabble].”

There’s an elastic force pulling upward, countering gravity. Not unti this force is countered (coils collapse to their rest-state) is this energy dissipated and gravity takes over.
I hear y’alls, but it’s more that she’s the kind of person who doesn’t truly believe something until it happens before her very eyes. No amount of Googlage will convince her (I’m aware that I’m probably being trolled here, but what the fuck.)
If I go through the trouble of purchasing & demonstrating this and she STILL doesn’t believe it, I swear I’m going to teabag strangle her with the fucking thing.
A colleague believes this to be fake.
I may have to purchase a slinky to prove otherwise.

Google “slinky drop” and there’s pages of proof.
