I was busy reading an exceptionally interesting and inspirational book (In His Spirit) outside in the yard in early spring, when nature got in the way. A cool gentle breeze blew couple 100’s of maple seeds. They looked like confetti in the air.

Strangely, one of the maple seeds made its way near me instantly grasping my attention. Somehow, it intrigued me momentously as to whether the seed was rotating clockwise of counterclockwise as it made its way to the ground. I tried to ignore the nagging question but my brain would not let go.

In no time, I had put the book down and was busy experimenting as to what the direction of rotations was. I collected a bunch of the maple seeds and threw them one by one. The more I threw the seeds, the more the answer seemed to elude me. Now I was a totally confused scientist and nature had gotten the better side of it. I was however, not letting go.

I had to discover which way the seeds rotated. Consequently, I asked few individuals, and everyone seemed to have a different answer. One person actually said, the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation was depended on what side of the Poles you are on (North or South). Someone had a better idea…he suggested we could record the seeds as the fell. This way we would know the direction of the rotation…

Well,  Over to you…it is clockwise or counterclockwise…?

What's your take?
