      You beat me to the punch, sir. At no point was there any chaos. I was skeptical when I read the title of the video. Order will always break down into chaos because of entropy, but order doesn’t naturally arise out of chaos. I was wondering how they were going to try to show that in this video, heh.
      Edit: I forgot to mention that it was still pretty damn cool to watch though.

    If you blur your eyes and focus on a point on the wall behind the pendulum, you soon see that there is never any chaos to the system at all. At the times when it looks like all the balls are out of order, you'll see a pattern appear that looks like a triple (and double and quadruple!) helix rotating.

  • @TheGraveMage
    @TheGraveMage 3 года назад +24

    For those wondering how it works-- each of the balls are attached to different length strings (obviously), which causes their swinging pattern to become different as time goes on. At first it transforms into a sine wave due to this simple fact-- each ball is going through its own oscillation, but is synchronized with the next due to the length. The reason why the balls separate into 2 then 3 different formations is again due to this difference in length. However, this was also intentional as the balls which separate into these groups should have a string length relative in length to one another.

    • @paristo
      @paristo Год назад +3

      ​@@familyg7 there is motorized manipulation as balls maintains their energy from just hanging up. At the end they even accelerate to greater swing.
      That is against physics laws as the ball can't never return back to original height of release point.
      Why it isn't shown, as there is likely a motor for each string that is computer controlled to give them timing (or just mechanical pattern, but still giving energy for speed).

      The bar the balls are suspended from is not shown, I suspect it is at a slant, with the strings adjusted so the the balls are all hanging at the same level. The furthest ball has fastest oscillation with the nearest ball the slowest.

It then does that whole order in reverse before coming back to being in unison!!! And then it repeats all over again. It may look like chaos, but it definitely is NOT!

    That’s exactly like how a pendulum wave works too.

      nothing special as to how they are attached. The magic is from the length of the cords connecting them. The closest balls has the longest cord and the farthest ball has the shortest cord. The longer the cord the greater the lag.

    An interesting demonstration of how the brain works. As others have observed, there is no chaos in the balls' motion. Nor do they resonate into any modal patterns. The patterns you see are the ones your brain recognises, just like it is recognizing the form and patterns of letters making up these words. You are seeing patterns created by a very simple mechanism and only a dozen or so balls. Just imagine the patterns that can be created with millions and billions. That is the foundation of the universe and life.

    There is no chaos Bro!!
    Harmony is the ability to accommodate, manage and ultimately remove the excess energy that disturbs a medium's natural state of rest.
    Chaos just wants to break everything.
