So what's the science behind the fidget spinner?

you fidget with it until it spins

one of the symptoms of autism is fidgeting.

ball bearings perhaps? idk

I would guess, surplus skateboard parts.

Once you provide force a gain in momentum it continues in right angles from the center as it's mass propagates in this fashion spin is slowed down by many factors of different types of friction mainly the friction from the ball bearings
When spun fast enough the mass will increase a slight bit and propagate at right angle providing the gyroscopic effect felt by holding the fidget of spin
Other science behind it is organic chemistry the plastic is likely a combination of a resol and a phenol which the reaction between the two create a hardened substance that can be molded the oil between the bearing is a likely result of millions of years of decay of biological matter such as plants dinosaurs the bearings are a result of a supergiant star going supernova in which when the star explodes its explosion provides the necessary energy for fusing heavier elements which the ended up in our solar system at the time of its creation via many large meteors and we're the dug up as iron ore and processed thanks to advances in technology from our some million or so year of development into humans yes ladies and gentlemen the fidget spinner is the greatest thing we have ever created as human beings your welcome
