there are verry little particles in space so there is verry little friction to stop the spinning top. but when you touch it it would instantly move away from your hand so there is almost no friction given by your glove.
Yes, the top represents the only proof of the "real world" within the movie. If the top fails to stop spinning it proves that the current world is the "dream world" and in fact not reality. This is why at the end of the movie it cuts to credits before we discover whether or not the top stops spinning. If it stops it is the real world, if it doesn't then he is just in another dream. Whether the end scene takes place in the real world or not is another question all together. After all, we didn't see Saito actually shoot himself at the end of the movie in that room that resumed after the very first scene in the movie. Crazy isn't it? :P
You don't need to buy it, you can dream it.
Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) noted earlier in the movie that his totem, the spinning top, would spin forever if he was in a dream. In the real world or his own dream, the top would eventually stop spinning and fall over. The last 5 seconds of the movie should very closely watched. The ending was meant to be ambiguous so that the viewer doesn't know if the top fell over (he was back in Saito's dream, his dream, orthe real world) or if it just kept on spinning (he was still in a dream, and would likely be forever). So far this question has two rival answers. 1) The spinning top keeps spinning, so he is still in a dream and we don't know what happens to the rest of the team as he didn't wake up on the plane but was asleep. This makes some sense because the children and house are identical to his dreams - they haven't grown up yet we have been led to believe that time has passed. Or, 2) some people are saying that the spinning top actually slows and starts to wobble at the very end, showing that he is now in 'his dream, Saito's dream, or reality (as the top was his wife's totem and would only fall in if it was in someone who had touched it's dream or reality).
top right,lower left,top right,top left,top left,lower left,he he Unkowns Are funny letters :Dthe one on the very last floor says: all lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive
u have a space helment thers a hole on top
The force of friction between the spinning top and the surface it is on causes it to stop spinning. Over time, the energy of the spinning top is transferred to the surface as heat, resulting in a decrease in the top's spinning speed until it comes to a stop.
A spinning top will continue to spin in space. A floating ball will continue to float in space because there is not gravity.
When a spinning top is about to stop, the friction between the top and the surface causes it to slow down. This friction can create forces that make the top wobble, leading it to reverse its direction of spin momentarily before coming to a complete stop.
It tends to lose rotational energy due to friction.
The spinning top does not show space quantization because the system of a spinning top is not quantized in the same way as fundamental particles like electrons. The motion of the top is dominated by classical mechanics, where continuous values of position and momentum are used to describe its behavior, rather than the discrete energy levels and quantization seen in quantum systems.
The Spinning Top was created in 2008.
because of friction and gravity
A Jewish spinning top is called a "dredel".
The word 'top'... table-top spinning-top and top-dog
A spinning top eventually slows down due to external forces like air resistance and friction with the surface it spins on. These forces gradually sap the top's rotational energy, causing it to lose speed and ultimately come to a stop.

A victoiran spinning top is a toy the poor used to play with in victorian times.
