@TheDuseanmandic This animation in particular may or may not inspire anyone to a technological innovation. But, the curve which is here illustrated, the cycloid, belongs to a family of related curves which were put to work in real technology before you were even a twinkle in your dad's eye.

"I assure you this animation will never bring, or contribute to any technological advancement."

Where's your support for such an illogical claim?

Every man is entitled to his opinion, but not his facts.

@TheDuseanmandic I will not tolerate your language in my video comments.

@The3nlightened0ne Evidently, you and I differ greatly in our conception of Intellect. Im sorry if my mind is set to seek out the possibility of using actual "mind-bending" instruments and ideas for the betterment of humanity. I assure you this animation will never bring, or contribute to any technological advancement. So you and your lil 13 year old brother can continue to jerk off to this insignificant piece of shit. I know it's irrelevant, but how many dicks did you suck in college ?

@TheDuseanmandic The significance of your comment pin-points a intellectual deficiency in your brian. My little brother at age 13 is able to comprehend the mathematics of this mind-bending concept. I suggest you go back to school, kid.

@TheDuseanmandic - plotting the motion of a rolling object. Not everything in life is exciting. I did this in 8th grade as part of a lab.
