DESCRIPTION:
Why does a curve ball actually curve? Athi Selvadurai breaks down the Magnus effect — the science behind how spin, air pressure, and motion create lift on a ball in flight. Through simple analogies and sports examples, he explains how faster airflow reduces pressure and redirects the ball’s path. The discussion connects physics to performance, revealing how understanding lift can give athletes and fans a new way to see the game.
