New to this channel? It's all about teaching math visually. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to learn.
NY Times blog post about this problem:
wordplay.blogs.nytimes.com/20...
The original paper by Gregory Galperin:
www.maths.tcd.ie/~lebed/Galpe...
Evidently, Numberphile also described this problem (I had not known):
• Pi and Bouncing Balls ...
You'll notice that video has an added factor of 16 throughout, which is not here. That's because they're only counting the collisions between blocks (well, balls in their case), and they're only counting to the point where the big block starts moving the other way.

This is why I love math. You always look at a problem, read it out loud, then discover something about that problem. It's like there is always a hidden puzzle in math equations. For example, in 7th grade, we were learning about circumference. My teacher showed the class a video which said that if you take the diameter and try to wrap it around a circle, there's a tiny bit left, to which I realized that that tiny bit looked EXACTLY like pi, or 3.14. It's so cool finding small details that make so much since!

Another interesting observation : When the masses colliding are powers of some other base (say 3), the number of collisions still equal the digits of Pi, but in the same base. Eg : Pi in base 3 is 10.010211012222010211002111110221222220111201212121... If you run the simulation with masses of 1, 3^(2 * 1), 3^(2 * 2), 3^(2 * 3),..., then the number of collisions will be 1 (base 3), 10 (base 3), 100 (base 3), and 1001 (base 3) respectively. Number of collisions for 1,3^(2 * 50) will be first 50 digits of Pi in base 3 : 10010211012222010211002111110221222220111201212121 , or 2255343044159619899886237 in decimals.

I like how the speed of the last collision is an expression of the remaining digits. So when it's 314(15...) collisions it juuuust reaches the line, but when it's 31415(92...), it gives the moving block a proper final spank to send it on its way.

3:56 Why is this cow your idea of "way over-idealized" and why do I agree?
@different_stuff
@different_stuff 4 года назад
i don't know about a spherical cow, but there is popular joke about spherical horse: Some man hired physicists to calculate which horse will finish first in the upcoming races. They gave him their results. And that horse didn't win. Angry man asked physicists why is that so, and they replied, that they calculated race results for spherical absolutely black horses in vacuum. So this is a joke about over-idealized conditions that physicists use in their calculations.

DifferentStuff Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Both my engineering teachers in the past enjoyed the phrase “spherical cow in a vacuum,” which just says how engineers and physicists would assume the cow is a sphere so that calculations are much easier

in topology, you count holes. A cow (assuming it had no holes) would be the same as a sphere from a topological perspective since they both have no holes.

@josephnimal953 4 года назад
It's from a Neil deGrasse Tyson's joke. It's about how physicists love to see the things in universe to be a perfect sphere. If u ask a farmer what is a perfect cow, he will answer a perfect cow is the one which will give lots of milk, a butcher will answer a perfect cow is the one which is fat. But a physicist will answer that a perfect cow is a cow which is spherical.

Perhaps you could set up analogous situations for any other base: 0. You have two blocks with masses of 1 and b^2^(d-1), where b is the base of the number system and d is the number of digits in that base you want to compute. 1. Count the number of collisions in that base. 2. You now have an approximation of pi*b^(d-1) in that base.
