Ever since I took basic physics and learned about the Right Hand rule for Torque, I could never figure out why would this rule is the way it is. I mean, if you are facing a wheel and turn it counter-clockwise, why does it always direct (point) towards but not away? I would really love to read about why this is, because I've researched briefly on some search engines and most of them just explained torque as change in direction and its equation formulas. So far, it just seemed like the creater for the law of physics for this universe just "picked" a direction to point when you rotate things...
