We tried making one years ago but used smaller snooker balls and it rarely stayed in sync. for long once adjusted - this one is by far the best I have seen!
The best GIFT from the Universe I have had. I'm a naturephile and I always look for my spiritual grounding from all things natural on my Path. This pendulum speaks to me. It gives me peace. Thank you for sharing.
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.
Those who were seen to be waving were thought to be chaotic by those who were too busy listening to "Stairway to Heaven" Frederick Nietzsche, eat your heart out!
So did you explain WHY this happens? There has to be a formula that explains it mathematically. And if the teacher doesn't know why this happens, maybe it's time to get rid of the teacher and let AI explain it.
Whenever I feel sad or lonely I come back to this video, the music and the motion of the balls makes me feel so happy. It makes me remember to not take life as seriously and to enjoy myself
That's cause you were not in love with the teacher. I was in love with her and after forgetting all other subjects existed I excelled in Physics. True story, power of Love if you wish, haha.
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.
i saw a 1 minute version of this exact same video and i came here to see when it would settle and stop swinging but i still have no clue how long it can go, plz, i want to see it all the way to the end
I think we saw it all the way to the end around the 1:29 mark. At that point, the "chaos" started againj. Something similar around 2:55, (twice 1 min 29 secs, almost). So I think we got 2 full cycles here. But I would have liked to have watched until they stopped swing altogether.
Well we all know the balls are not going to swing forever. I didn't SEE them stopping. But sometimes you just have to use your imagination and not visual stimulation to come to conclusions. But there was more than one complete set of movement in there.
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.
@@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.
My mind does this. A LOT! I remember in daycare when I was supposed to be napping, I couldn't go to sleep because of it. I still don't have words for it but this is what it does.
The space between each ball was calculated with great accuracy! I thought he it was cool to see the balls in groups of two or three. Red Yellow Brown and Orange go well together, as do Blue Green Purple and Black
The natural sound would have added another very cool dimensional experience and learning to this. Thank you for building it and sharing this video! 🙏😁 Would also love to see it through to it returned to how it started. Thank you, again

No chaos here --- just pendulums with slightly differing resonant frequencies. Physicist and mathematician Eugene Wigner once said: "The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve."
That was fascinating, probably the most interesting thing I've ever seen on RU-vid, would loved to take physics back in high school but my math skills were not up to snuff, dam I just threw out a set of snooker balls I thought were of no further use.
What the actual fuck. I can’t believe that this is just what physics does. In its past time. As if it was nothing. And all this time it didn’t even boast about it. Cool lad. Genuinely cool lad.
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.
I love seeing how the balls start out together, start to appear to twist, move in a very complicate manner that's hard to find a pattern; then you see four 'structures' appear and disappear, then three, that then two groups. 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! OH, and those string lengths ahve to be extremely precise, and the frame has to be extremely rigid!
Is nature ever in chaos? If laws of Nature are unchangeable, un-cancelable then probably not. It's only our perception and our limited understanding...
The video "A simple demo of order and chaos (and order again) - Home made Pendulum Wave with 15 billiard balls" is a sophisticated display of physics through a homemade apparatus. Fifteen pendulums of different lengths, each holding a billiard ball, are simultaneously released. Due to their varying lengths, each pendulum swings with a different period, creating a mesmerizing effect of waves that seem to move through the array of balls. This experiment visually demonstrates the concepts of synchronization, phase difference, and wave interference, akin to phenomena in quantum mechanics where particles exhibit wave-like behavior under certain conditions. The swinging of the pendulums from a state of synchrony to apparent chaos and back to order illustrates how systems can evolve dynamically over time while governed by underlying physical laws. The pendulums' movements initially appear coordinated but quickly shift into complex, seemingly chaotic patterns, only to eventually return to a state of synchrony. This cycle mimics certain aspects of quantum systems, particularly how particles' positions can seem random and spread out but are actually governed by probabilistic laws that predict where they are likely to be found.
