Physics nerds unite! This is that rare moment when Lisa Simpson is actually making sense! Moment of inertia literally measures how mass is distributed around an axis of rotation - it's basically the rotational equivalent of mass. Calling it "angular mass" would save first-year physics students countless headaches and confusion. The real conspiracy is why we keep using confusing terminology when perfectly intuitive alternatives exist! Someone start this petition for real!
