The Life Insurance (2022) Hindi Web Seriesinternet loves a viral challenge, doesn't it?

The #BroomStickChallenge appears to be the first major one to strike in 2020. A video on Twitter went viral on Monday showing a person making a broom stand up on its own, claiming NASA said it was the only day anyone could do this because of a strange phenomenon involving the earth's gravitational pull.

Of course, there were also skeptics mixed into the slew of amazed and entertained broom challenge takers.

While the broom challenge might seem like a revelation, NASA has not said anything to support any of the challenge's claims. Astronomer Phil Plait also refuted the claims on Twitter, saying, "As for the #BroomChallenge itself: If the broom stands up, it stands up. But it has nothing to do with Earth’s gravity in balance or whatever."

Plait actually penned an article in Syfyin 2012 about this whole myth.

"It's actually a simply matter of center of mass and flat bristles," he wrote. "Honestly, it's not more mysterious than standing a brick up."

There's nothing significant about February 10 and the earth's gravitational pull that would make a broom stand up. In fact, you can actually stand your broom up pretty much any time you want. To further prove it to ourselves, we gave it the ol' college try.
