A symmetric harnessed gyroscope accelerated to a given spinning
frequency takes different time periods to stop, depending on the
direction of previous spins. For repeated alternating, anticlockwise
and clockwise spinning, the rotation period in both directions
significantly increases, which is not the case when the gyroscope is
repeatedly rotated in the same direction. Using the measurements it was
observed, that the time of gyroscope's rotation was significantly
lengthened or shortened, what indicates that it either increased or
decreased the movement resistance of the gyroscope. The presented
experimental results suggest the existence of anomalous movement
resistance and demonstrate that a fixed spinning gyroscope displays
unusual history-dependent movement resistance effects. The effect is
real, large, reproducible and does not follow from experimental errors.
The manuscript was reviewed thrice, according to the publishing
procedure in "Physical Review Letters" within two year. The remarks of
all the reviewers were taken into account during its correction.
Because the publishing procedure for our manuscript in "Physical Review
Letters" finished, we decided to publish it in Journal of Technical
Physics, J.Tech. Phys., 46, 2, 107-115, 2005.
When polishing a surface, do we always rub in the same direction,
or do we alternate the rubbing directions as much as we can?
It seems to me that the latter approach gives a much better result,
i.e. a smoother surface, which in turn gives less friction.

You're becoming awfully repetitive. Why are you beating
the same dead horse over and over here?
Must be for the same reason Valev and Conrad do it. Improper toilet
training? A desire to noncooperatively waste as much of the Earth's
resources as possible, ulimately toppling modern civilization? Anal
warts? God only knows.
Teflon is denser and thus heavier than plexiglass, so Teflon
gives a better polish, so that might give a stronger effect,
so that doesn't explain much.
Did you investigate the influence of mixing "Unmemorized"
with "Memorized" rotors with ditto spindles and ditto bearings?
As far as I can see you have only tested UUU and MMM.
Testing the other 6 combinations might help you find out
which part is actually doing the "memorizing" :-)

Teflon has rather piss-poor structural characteristics, e.g. it is
quick to flow under pressure.
I haven't a clue how you would polish teflon or expect it to stay that
way.

Not the rotor, but the spindle and the bearings get "polished"
by and under the rotation and the weight of the teflon rotor.

How do you know that if you have not investigated the
influence of mixing "Unmemorized" with "Memorized"
disk material (rotors) with ditto spindles and ditto bearings?
Apart from the tested combinations UUU and MMM,
there are 6 others.

"We cannot establish the cause of this phenomenon. We have discovered
the effect and now theorists are trying to get their head round it. But
this may change thinking about basic mechanics. We have run this
experiment for a few years on different gyroscopes and we have achieved
the same effect. " - says Mazur.
So the influence of mixing "Unmemorized" with "Memorized"
rotors with ditto spindles and ditto bearings was not tested.
Tell Mazur that as long as no one is interested in finding out
which part of the gyroscopes is actually doing the "memorizing",
no theorist will try to get his head round it.
