Jacob floated a long steel sewing needle on a small piece of cork in a glass of water. He noticed that as he turned the glass around, the cork and needle continued to point toward his backyard. Even after he turned the small floating cork around gently, the needle finally pointed toward the backyard. What is the MOST LIKELY conclusion Jacob will draw?
