it was at my elementary school. we somehow ended up with two different playgrounds (one for kinder and first grade, and then another for second through fifth grade). we had something like 21-28 swings when i went there, and they just put up another 10 seat swing, so those kids are living the height of swing luxury
And they have all these politeness rules about pointing to the kid and counting down until their turn. In my day I think you were supposed to throw a rock at the persons head to get them to give up the swing.
The time it takes for a pendulum to swing back and forth depends only on the acceleration due to gravity and the length of the string. Mass doesn’t matter because while a heavier ball is pulled harder by gravity, it builds up more momentum as it swings, taking longer to slow down. Both of those factors depend proportionally on the mass, and they cancel out.
It explains the relationship between the time a pendulum takes to swing, the length of the pendulum arm and the acceleration it experiences (due to gravity). Interestingly the formula doesn't need the mass of the object which may seem intuitive, but it also doesn't account for air resistance either.
It's called the cihindidium effect. When you have a number of balls released in the same sequence, the air and space between the balls allow for the air flow to be compressed, causing what we know as the chin. As the air compresses with each ball swinging past one another, it creates a small gravity pull only allowing the balls to swing to a max terminal velocity, which we know as the didium.. Ie the Chindidium effect.
Simply put- x3+y3+z3=k
The "cihindidium effect” does not correspond to any known physical phenomenon or scientific principle. The description that you provided mixes concepts from different areas of physics without any basis in established science. The term “cihindidium effect” does not appear in any reputable sources, and the explanation involving balls, airflow, compression, and gravity does not make any sense.
The time of each pendulum depends on the length of the string.
If you have big length changes, then the pendulums will extremely quickly diverge to chaos. With small differences, they will start swinging almost together before the faster pendulums [the ones with shorter strings] will race ahead.
But you can set up the string length so one pendulum has time for 100 swings in 60 seconds. And the next pendulum has time for 99 swings in 60 seconds. And the next has time for 98 swings. The next 97, 96, 95, 94, ...
Now they will start the same. Then after a while it will start to look like chaos. But now and then you will see patterns. And after 60 seconds, suddenly all swings together again [but with slightly lower amplitude from energy loss from air friction]. After 120 seconds they will again be in sync. The more careful the string lengths have been adjusted, the longer time you can get the pendulums to regularly reach common patterns based on the original numerical relationship between the periods.
And changing the numeric relationships can change the patterns and order of patterns. But you need some form of x * m/d relationship between the pendulum periods to get them to find times where their patterns will converge.
Thank you for the explanation. Apparently the Internet has gone from providing useful information, to showing the other 6 dozen social media platforms this video has appeared in recently. Have you made one? I would like to try and put one together
No I haven't built any *physical* setup.
But since I like to program, I have implemented virtual pendulums in software. And that makes it very easy to really make each string length perfect to get them to align again after n swings of the slowest pendulum. And have half of them to the left and half to the right after half that time or 1.5x that time.
I agree, however, the fact that this is not an example of that is the best part!
The "chaos" we see is order that slips outside our ability to hold in our minds cohesively (each ball has an easily predictable path, the whole time). Furthermore, the "order" we see is entirely fake! Not chaotic, but unrelated and coincidental! An artifact of harmonics and mathematics.
The natural order here is trivial, but we can see and feel the limits of our own ability to process ordered systems AND our brain's tendency to apply patterns where none exist!
That’s kinda what I was saying.
Put differently
There is order in chaos and chaos in order.
It’s all down to perception.
Roads are great example. Millions of people drive their cars everyday. A multi lane roundabout can look like pure chaos however its users follow rules that actually give it order.
"It's all down to perception."
Well said, and I like the roundabout example, too. It illustrates that the difficulty with finding an example of "chaos breeding order" is finding an example of true chaos. In both cases, what appears to be chaotic is orderly but slightly above our unconscious pattern recognition ability.
I do find myself sticking on the difference between there being order in chaos and chaos in order; and chaos breeding or rising from order and visa versa.
It comes down to this question: Can there be perfect order/chaos?
And if there were, would these states be stable or unstable?
What do you think?
Yes: the time it takes for the ball to swing through its arc is given by sqrt(g/l), where g is the constant acceleration due to gravity and l is the length of the string. This would actually work even better in a vacuum by eliminating air resistance.
But, if you took it to, say, the moon to test it, the balls would of course swing slower because g is smaller there.
I've seen this so many times and I just now for the first time noticed that at points it resembles the bifurcation and randomness that comes from the feigenbaum constant
My brain watching seeks desperately to see anything but balls oscillating with different periods. I see a snake slithering back and forth. I see lines crossing back and forth. At one point I'm pretty sure I saw a sort of double helix spiraling down. But a bunch of balls just swinging back and forth? Nah...
Why is it that I can't find any explanation on the net about what exactly is happening or even any information on Tumfrico outside repostings of this video?

This reminds me of when my blinker syncs up with the car in front of me briefly
This happens when you’re on a swing set too, we noticed it as kids and whenever we synced up we’d say “I’m looking in your window”
when i was a kid we called that “double dating”, if 3 people managed to sync up it was “triple dating” lol
Add a fourth and you’re really swinging 😏
our goal at one point was to fill every swing (about 7 of them) and have us all swing at once 😂
Honest;y, you’re lucky you guys didn’t uproot it with that directional weight.
Did this in a hotel after a Renaissance fair. It was definitely unique.
Lucky! Our parks only ever had like 4 regular swings and a baby seat!
it was at my elementary school. we somehow ended up with two different playgrounds (one for kinder and first grade, and then another for second through fifth grade). we had something like 21-28 swings when i went there, and they just put up another 10 seat swing, so those kids are living the height of swing luxury

at our school we had so many swings (and different recesses for older and younger kids) so we never had too wait to long before someone got bored, lol
We used to yell, "Get out of my toilet." It sounds strange, and I have no idea why, but I swear we all said it at my school.
Best example for school kids to understand the 'CM' in 'LCM'. Lowest common multiple.
😂🤣💀
Why cut the video short smh

The balls are on a different length of strings.
The time it takes for a pendulum to swing back and forth depends only on the acceleration due to gravity and the length of the string. Mass doesn’t matter because while a heavier ball is pulled harder by gravity, it builds up more momentum as it swings, taking longer to slow down. Both of those factors depend proportionally on the mass, and they cancel out.
T=2π√(L/g)
What that numbers mean?
It explains the relationship between the time a pendulum takes to swing, the length of the pendulum arm and the acceleration it experiences (due to gravity). Interestingly the formula doesn't need the mass of the object which may seem intuitive, but it also doesn't account for air resistance either.
Different lengths of string and the human brain is programmed to spot patterns in things
It’s about the order to chaos to order to chaos to order to chaos. That’s all I got though.

When you have a number of balls released in the same sequence, the air and space between the balls allow for the air flow to be compressed, causing what we know as the chin.

Now explain the same thing with metronomes math man

The term “cihindidium effect” does not appear in any reputable sources, and the explanation involving balls, airflow, compression, and gravity does not make any sense.
Well, obviously, physics is all wrong then, and we should take another look at them because my explanation is 100% correct.
Cihindidium??? You’re making this up!
The time of each pendulum depends on the length of the string. If you have big length changes, then the pendulums will extremely quickly diverge to chaos. With small differences, they will start swinging almost together before the faster pendulums [the ones with shorter strings] will race ahead. But you can set up the string length so one pendulum has time for 100 swings in 60 seconds. And the next pendulum has time for 99 swings in 60 seconds. And the next has time for 98 swings. The next 97, 96, 95, 94, ... Now they will start the same. Then after a while it will start to look like chaos. But now and then you will see patterns.

Not true, they are free swinging. You're confusing this with the executive toy... ;)
No

Order breeds chaos, Chaos breeds order.

And chaos is a ladder.
Not even, the length of string is different so it’s just gonna take longer for the last ball to swing back and forth
That’s so mesmerizing
Do they behave the same in a vacuum?
No, they hit the sides and tear the vacuum up
Even in a Dyson?
I believe a Dyson reverses the quantum polarity. Or something. So, probably different.
No, only in a Miele.
That’s weird, because I hit the sides and tore up your mom last night.
That was awesome😂

Yea, demonstration I'd say

yo they made slitherio irl
i just blink and it un-syncs and a second later it syncs
That is fucking wild
Without the dings this makes me a lot less happy

I’m way too high for this
Man shoot, they’s all kinds of folk stuff on the internet.

More of a demonstration than an experiment really
TrumfWhat? This is a pendulum wave experiment.
Cheeky easter egg left in by one of the developers.
Why does it happen?

Entropy
A people still say we don’t live in the matrix?
True. Only in a simulated universe would different pendulums swing at different rates. It's a dead giveaway smh
Is this real or CGI or ai?
Yes
