但它完全不同，转动惯量，如果将其绕这轴旋转。
But it's completely different, the moment of inertia, if you rotated it about this axis.
一个飞盘是有边缘，所以可以，让它绕着边缘上某点旋转，就像这样，绕边缘点转动它。
A Frisbee has this rim so you can actually try to make it rotate around the point on the circumference by holding it near the rim and spinning it there.
特别地，绕平面上一点旋转物体，同样可以想象，旋转一个实体。
In particular, we have been rotating things about just a point in the plane What you could imagine also is instead you have your solid.
它是绕垂直轴旋转的。
我迫使这个物体，绕这轴旋转。
And I'm going to force this object to rotate about that axis.
举个例子来说，把一个圆绕中心旋转，你会发现它保持不变。
A circle, for example, is symmetric under rotations around the center of the circle. You rotate around the center of the circle, the circle remains unchanged.
然后我将使其绕轴旋转-,像这样旋转-,为角速度,这个距离记为。
Now I'm going to rotate this about this axis-- - it's going around like this-- with an angular velocity omega R and this is at a distance, R.
然而，如果在诞生之时宇宙就绕轴朝着一个方向运动，那么星系就应该保留了这样的旋转。
However, if at birth the universe revolved around its axis in one direction, then the galaxies would have retained the rotation.
许多人相信太阳绕地球旋转，即古希腊学者Ptolemy于公元150年建立的地心说。
Many believed the sun revolved around the Earth, with ancient Greek scholar Ptolemy formalizing this "geocentric" model in 150.
