Thanks, friend, for introducing the subject of gyroscopes. You seem to know a
bit about this. Can you tell me if an object like the earth (say it operates
like a gyroscope) could ever reverse direction (reverse rotational direction)?
I had one a gyroscope as a kid, and it simply wound down in motion. It never
reversed. Objects that hang from strings and rotate reverse their direction.
But if the earth is not connected to another object by a string-like something
(which no one is presuming it is), then is there anything that could
potentially cause it to reverse?

Are you talking about a pendulum or a gyroscope?
Gyroscopes are seriously odd things, and can lose
weight when spun up, and provide reactionless force.
Have a look at this:
http://www.gyroscopes.org/1974lecture.asp
and google for "eric laithwaite". This guy did a lecture
for the prestigious Royal Society, and passed a heavy
spinning gyroscope to the audience. Nobody could pick it
up when it was stationary. This lecture was expunged from
the record.
Mix in magnetic fields, homopolar generators, electrostatic
charges and you start looking at ufo design propositions.
Then, take a stiff whiskey, and, if you dare, google for
boeing, antigravity and patent. You can chuck B2 into the mix.
