In the March SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN you will see how this paradox is resolved. You may be relieved to learn that divers and gymnasts (and free-falling cats, too) perform their midair rotations without violating any laws of physics. Moreover, the underlying physics is the same for the astronauts in space who need to control their body orientation in a weightless environment.

Intended meaning:
The sentence presents a comparison between two principles.
Principle 1: One that controls the midair gyrations of divers and gymnasts
Principle 2: Another that controls the body orientation of astronauts in a weightless environment.
Quote:
Incorrect comparison of principle vs human body.
Though we are comparing two nouns, the comparison is illogical.
Quote:
Correct.
those = refers back to principles
controlling = without coma, a verb-ing modifier correctly modifying the preceding noun: those
Quote:
we need a verb-ing modifier, not an infinitive / purpose.
The purpose of principle is not to control the body orientation of astronauts in a weightless environment.
Rather we need a modifer, giving more info about noun: principles.
Quote:
why is there a need to specify specific principles by using ones : ambiguous.
again incorrect used of the preposition: in
Concept tested: comparison and usage of verb-ing modifier.

A question of comparison, its abuse and misinterpretation.
(A) as the body orientation controlling ---- the comparison is between physical principles and body orientation -- irrelevant comparison
(B) as the body orientation which controls -- same as in B.
(C) as those controlling the body orientation of -- The pronoun, 'those' saves the day. Now there is balance in the comparison. Correct choice.
(D) ones to control the body orientation of ---- The same principles used in midair gyrations are said to be used in controlling astronauts -- a blatant distortion of intent.
(E) ones used in controlling the body orientation of -- same as in D.
