No matter how long the slinky is, the bottom of the slinky will stay still (hover) until the top reaches it. Even if the slinky is over 1000 feet long.

Update: More info at blogs.discovermagazine.com
P.s. Source seems to be the youtuber 1veritasium’s science channel. Seems pretty good, check it out!
