[livinglikeaRoxatr]

[hoax4254]

And of course one of the related videos is someone popping a pimple on their chin.

Words fail me.

[fenrirgg]

Cool music for this. And this kind of toys make production rate at offices drop at least 30% :D

[SomeoneCommenting]

Can you make one with the balls painted in the color spectrum? I would love to see how each color shifts position when they do the two and three groups effect.

[SomeoneCommenting]

WOW UBER AWESOME!!!

[DasIstMeinKampyCouch]

An evening with Philip Glass! Ooo, Just an evening?

[mayzon111222]

They should do a testies version!

[YTDekus]

This is the porn of physics?

[SaraMlkw]

Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore.. Hold me close.. SWAY me morrrrreee...

[FullDerp]

Someone make a 10hr version of the swinging.

[brendendas]

how many retakes did you guys take?

[SrNutritivo]

Great!... I'm a great fan of Glass, but I think this would fit betther with music from Phil's buddy Steve Reich... that is because Reich's music uses that principle (composing diferent instruments in different phases, like the balls of that pendulum) as composition technique... Try out a composition like musico for 18 musicians... Anyways, this is amazing!... thanks for share!

[Soyokaze17]

amazing O.O

[disastergrl1234]

Hate the beginning audio but the mauic was awesome

[metalfightbeyblade01]

Cool!

[HidieLovesYou166]

[numbstateofennui]

Order and chaos are the same thing...o_O

[claire227paradiso]

this pendlum is like his music, you can see it in different ways...

[1888bfs]

heavy balls with different legths of stirng,,who knew? Great video, and lots of fun

[jleer1]

I love Philip Glass's music. He's created some amazing music! He's also written music especially for some films, such as Anima Mundi, and the music always fits the scene exactly. He did not write this piece of music for this song, this is just one of his songs as a sound track to this video. It's a good video though :)

[zugarpies]

Beautiful. Like a snake.

MOM MOM MOM! I SAW WAVES, DNA SNAKES LITLE WHITE PLANETS TURNING AROUND! IT WAS WONDERFULL!

mom: STOP DRINKING ASSHOLE!

[DevillYouth]

can someone explain what's happening? layman's terms?

[vmcookr87]

@DevillYouth mmm... have you ever been waiting on a red light with your car's blinkers on and noticed other cars' blinkers sometimes lit same time as yours before going out of sync, and then lighting up simultaneously again? something very similar is happening here, but you get to see each pendulum at all times, not just on or off like in your car's directional light, so more interesting "patterns" appear... The fastest oscillating pendulum is in the back and the slowest is up front

[kbaj0]

@vmcookr87 have you ever noticed when you are brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush and you look at a digital clock and the numbers bounce up and down? i think its a similar thing here.

[evilkillerpenguin]

That's some trippy shit, yo.

[joyceleigh1]

I love it ;-)



[darrendsi]

O.O

Epic @0:27

[Bloxkorner]

omg this is sooo awesome!!

[lehamic1]

Anyone who is nerdy enough to enjoy this (like me) will also enjoy watching the sections on cymatics.

[kalitheamare]

@lehamic1 do reassure me: i'm not the only one. two straight days now

[HarmonixHealing]

A Purely Pythagorean Phenomena.... Harmony of the Spheres!

Excellent Selection of Music

[lehamic1]

@HarmonixHealing

It also involves Pythagorean string length ratios and their affinity with musical harmony.

[renexdt]

genial!

[danyxv97]

I love that

[Churavis]

swinging balls!

[sumxhi]

Beautifully done!

[EdouardDubois]

It's good, but next time try reuploading the video without butchering the already questionable image quality.

[nycjofus]

@EdouardDubois sorry man! my video/audio editing skills are minimal at best. I'll try to do better on the next go around :)

[KingHind]

@nycjofus Don't listen to him, the video was beautiful. Thanks!

[milly0404]

@nycjofus Thanks for sharing this! Prreeeeeetty awesome!

[Gnawrbucks]

@nycjofus I think you did a great job uploading it! Great music choice.

[shadeslate]

@EdouardDubois whats wrong with the quality?

[EdouardDubois]

@shadeslate

The original was a little blurry (at around 480p I think). He edited it and then saved this one in a lossy format (at 360p) resulting in further blur. If you can't see it try putting the image in full screen.

[ipod4]

there is something we are not seeing

[TheCheerfulMessiah]

Wow

[juandesant]

Indeed the music goes with it incredibly well… and good intro too ;-)
