When we don’t understand the synchronization, we call it chaos.

Absolutely cracking video. I always had this question , when I read 2nd law of thermodynamics. Entropy always grows. Then there must be a fight between system getting destroyed over time and system maintaining itself .

Prof. Steven Strogatz was absolutely amazing to listen to! I'm definitely grabbing a copy of his book.

the most stunning part of this video is the quality can be set to 2160p 😦

2:25 SO SATISFYING OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

watching the footage of the people crossing the bridge in these times reminded me how physically close we used to be to other people

We can't use psychologically/ biologically synchronizations of people and bugs as an analogy to physics.

Effect spoiled by using fake pendulum clocks

Hi I have a question. Why when we want to spin a can with liquid inside in the air it stops by itself?

This phenomenon can be used in analog synthesizers, or in digital imitations of the principle, to obtain the syncronized sound of different waveform, which give different results depending on the waveshape, the oscillation period, the phase and other parameters. It's amazing how things apparently so different can follow similar, simple rules.

Another example: In Football stadium, one fan begins a chant, then another joins, then another, then the whole crowd's singing. Same with the Mexican wave.

wow. an 'unprompted' experiment

Thumbs up if you are really skeptical of the year 1656

I need to poop at the same time every morning, does that count?

why is Earth not locked to Sun like moon is locked to Earth?

Women who are around each other a lot their ministrations fluids will synchronize together 🧐

Just amazing... I love this topic

Your son!! How cute!!!

Energy creates energy? Objects in motion stays in motion. But law of energy states, it cannot be created or destroyed.

16:16 funny how that would be obvious to any musician !

I see my city, I upvote.

10:00 i don’t think this is a sync ... it’s just something that is done after every show to call actors back on the scene .... Literally every I’ve been to or saw

The most annoying thing about you is ... that you were on YouTube for 10 years before I discovered you!

Best 20 minutes I've watch in a long time.

Everything just adjusts to universe's tick speed

The clip where the audience was clapping and then when they all clapped in sync freaked me out. How beautiful nature is, man

mannnn hell of a video!

What if you started the metronomes on separate tables. Would they still pick up the syncho from the floor?

If all humans sync their steps maybe we can push the Earth out of the Solar system.

This is a cool science project omg

Add my Snapchat if your down like that!!!@ soloriogeorge82

Laan-juh-tood.

I see those chemical waves when i close my eyes

I see those chemical waves when i close my eyes

Seeing all those people crossing the bridge in step like that reminds of what lemmings humans are.

ANOTHER GOOOD VIDEO

I think I have actually built a perpetual motion machine using pendulum motions and magnets. Well it's been going since the 4 days ago I've built it

Yippee science stuff xxx

would it work with drummer and bassist in my band?

I did the clock thing with the pendulum myself and have whipless that's in action I just thought I was going nuts and moving things with my mind

Im high asf this video almost exploded my brain

air is the coupling between fireflies. The Vibration of the Coupling is what determines the speed at which actions Synchronize. Increase or decrease the Vibration of the Coupling or Medium and you will see the speed of Synchronization occur faster or slower. You can control this.

This is a cool science project omg

super interessant! danke

When I listen to music inside my car, it’s only a matter of time until every pedestrian I look to, moves in sync with the music. Now explain this.

imagine breaking a bridge because your to synchronized

The answer to the question not asked is, "Cosmic collective consciousness"

Yelp

00:25 People with anxiety disorder: "AND EVEN WHAT!?"

regarding the frequency of steps to make a bridge move. it's not only half and double the frequency, it's also the thirds. in other words 2=3 and viceversa, same what happens in triplets in music. 75 b.p.m = 100 bpm (3=2) and also the other fractions same as the nodes for harmonics in guitar string.

Blinkers synch up for me too

Is this how grasshoppers turn into locusts ?

Any suggestions on where to find methods for determining/calculating the resonant frequency of a structure like a bridge? I'm not looking to learn all of civil engineering, but rather a short instructive video?

This is why the Universe is not governed by the laws of thermodynamics. As such, theories such as the Big Bang, Dark Energy, and Dark Matter are based on a foundation of flawed assumptions. The Universe is actually governed by plasma dynamics. Plasma researchers have long observed self-organizing systems. The Universe may actually have become more ordered with time. There may actually be a natural balance between plasma dynamics and thermodynamics where increasing order in one place is balanced by increasing disorder in another. In this sense, our Universe may be an eternal system. If humanity believes the Universe is an eternal system, we will finally be able to give up our harmful obsession with fatalism.

Excellent video. I suspect predicting the behavior of individuals in response to economic factores might take a step forward using the principles illustrated in this video.

The funny thing with the clapping is that quite often the entertainer will get the audience to start clapping in time. Once the sync has started, the speed of the claps increases as the fervour grows until spontaneously the sync disappears and random clapping takes over. I've never seen it go from chaotic to synchronous.

Same thing happends when you lay with someone, like cuddling. Your breathing tend to synchronize naturaly

Why does this make me happy?

*Penguingate* - Read all about it, the millennium's greatest scandal in synchronisation.

This video was so cool!

Murmuration has the same action towards the other birds when flying together, their result is breathtaking...

Trigger warning: Wrong animatied pendulum at 2:20

Subtitles are kinda meh.

Love your shows. Also the electro-music you use. Thanks.

3:50 simple. its a bug.

I knew our moon was gravitationally locked to match Earth’s rotation....but not how! This vid explained it very well with its bulging moon diagram....Thank you!

for humans that think.. it's more of patterns and synchronization.. the moment we hear a patter we immediately pick it up and copy it..

I didn't even know I was into science like this.😳 You made this topic very interesting to learn about! Thanks for teaching me something new today!🤓👍🏾☺️

Nobody: Scientists: hold my RGB water

Can this also be said for the Mexican Wave in soccer stadium?

WHY DO OTHER PEOPLE SYNCHRONIZE THEIR LEGS WITH ME WHEN WALKING WHEN IM TRYING TO NOT BE IN SYNC? ITS SO FRUSTRATING

Is synchrony a word?

Imagine being stupid enough to see that the bridge is moving, and you still stay on it.

sympathetic harmonics - very cool for us musicians who love the maths and physics of music.

before you explain ı just see you it just happens from the people who walk on the bridge it just happens while you just walk. only need few 100 people to just walk on the bridge. (only walk)

Synchronized applauses are "obviously" a code for "again again" to artist to come back on scene to perform some spectacle supplement ... Chimical reaction is known as "fox, rabit and grass" reaction it's cyclic while "grass" component is present in the solution.

it is natural frequency , we can run from one side of ship to the other side to make a ship upsidedown as in pirate of the caribbean

A P in maths ?

15:02 My brain while watching Veritasium and Vsauce videos

What I took away from this video is that our hearts contain spiral energy. Gurren Lagann is real.

Really happy to see prof Strogatz in this video. He's a great teacher and has an online course on dynamical systems and chaos which is definitely worth a look if you are interested.

Amazing video

Oh, man, the story with the bridge and with the people who Syncro was run over at the same time, that has been refuted 3000 times.

Amazing creation of God.

What would happen with the two metronome experiment if the metronomes were exactly 180° out of phase with each other? I'm thinking that the forces would cancel each other out and they'd remain in that state (or the earth would stop spinning and we'd all be hurled off into the blue yonder?) Very interesting thanks

It's so satisfying hearing "damper" and "damp" instead of "dampener" and "dampening", you can tell they actually know what they are talking about.

Is it always the case that the pendulums end up completely out of phase and the metronomes end up in phase? Or are the outcomes sensitive to initial conditions? I suspect that the first is true, and that it has to do with whether the counterweight is much heavier (The entire Earth) or of similar weight (The board on which the metronomes are placed) to the pendulums. I suspect that the local minimum of the action, as a function of phase difference, depends on this mass ratio, but I have not found the time to show this. Does anyone have a good reference?

I wonder if soldiers are subsequently trained to walk effectively out of step, so that they not even involuntarily synchronize like at the millennium-bridge.

Fascinating. Thanx.

quantum darwinism

So I'm told women who live together will synchronize their periods. If that is the case wouldn't a woman who was not in Sync have a better chance of reproducing and giving her a better chance of picking the best mate? Also do women in a city tend to have their periods at the same time of month or say in an Office where they work together? I'm a guy so I wouldn't know. We're just ready all the time! LOL

1:32 60 men fell into the river in lego city

5:10 I literally heard one of the metronomes say to the other two: dance with me~

Personally this video helps explain how I can press nine or ten different keys, engage any pedal and combine that chaos of vibration into something I predetermined...... it really does feel like predicting the future sometimes I'm not gonna lie.

The sync is a consequence of chaos

"Let's dance" David Bowie

I get the eerie feeling that it would be a lot easier to understand the machine if you weren’t one of the parts
