VISIBLE MOTION → TESTABLE CLAIMS

Test the physics,
not the hype.

Measure what the clip shows. Compare what could explain it. Leave with a claim that keeps evidence and assumptions separate.

EVIDENCE REPORT

Curved path with visible acceleration

SUPPORTED CLUE

The clip supports a change in direction and may show increasing speed. That points to a net force, but the video alone cannot identify whether contact, gravity, tension, or propulsion supplied it.
