the rotation of the tube + it spinning results in it only showing the 0 side. its kinda like the pull of gravity + the speed of a satalite going around the earth canceling it out from leaving orbit or crashing into the earth.

Youll gonna see the letter your that u put your finger on when you spin,because the end of the pipe os long than its center so your eye cant catch because its longer and faster than the center, its like bringing a long rope and tie one of it end with an flash light your gonna see a big light circle but u can stil see the center caz its kind fixed

because the two seperate spins (vertical spin of the tube itself and the spin of the tube on the table) are equal....?

i think ,the side you press on to make it spin,spins slower then the otherside with the other letter,since the eye only catches a max of 24-25 frames a second,the other faster side exceeds this,so therefore it becomes "invisible"
