Imagine an object in space with no other forces acting on it. Why is it that if you apply a torque on the object, it will rotate around its center of mass? That is, why does it "choose" to rotate around the center of mass? I can't come up with an answer and this question has been bugging me for a long time. Any sort of insight would be greatly appreciated.
