Mastering the Basics of Rotational Motion

According to Euler's rotation theorem, simultaneous rotation along a number of stationary axes at the same time is impossible.

Rotation around a fixed axis is a special case of rotational motion where the axis of rotation remains fixed, stationary, or static in three-dimensional space. It excludes phenomena such as wobbling or precession.

The concept assumes that the rotation is stable, meaning no torque is required to keep it going.
