Common nonsense. Gravitational force is the same on both balls, but the one with curved path gets faster acceleration due to steeper slope, and since gravitational acceleration is quite bigger than the difference in distance, left one reaches the end sooner. Also, it is not an "optical illusion" but observable reality.
My older brother loves these types of hats.You made this seem doable I smell a DIY gift! I have the perfect fabric for it,but I wish I had got started with this sooner so it could be a Christmas gift.I know he'll love it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!!! I was trying to put this together in my head and was missing something... I actually pretty much had it, except I was making the piece that goes over the head way harder than it needed to be. 😅 You saved Halloween for my (big headed) 5 year old grandson! 🤣
