The Gravity Illusion



#shorts The results of this simple experiment may surprise you. We have two different ramps that a metal ball can roll down. Stay until the end to see which metal ball made it down the fastest.

  1. You couldve guessed right if you wouldve just paid attention to the shapes of the slopes. The straight one is linear, y=x… While the curvy one could probably be modeled by x^2… Say x = 5, linear function says x=5, y=5… Quadratic function however says x=5, y=25. Hope this helps โค

  2. The problem is the wavy one doesnโ€™t go back above the straight one. It is consistently below the other thus the speed difference. Just like an exponential curve would be way faster even though they end at the same point

  3. I only had a big hunch the left side would win after it was made clear the results were 'surprising'. If you look closely intuition can take you to the answer. The first thing to notice, the dips are more extreme than the hills. Quickly though, the next thought had me swapping the guess. The right would win. Left might launch off the first hill or 'ramp', crash into the next ramp and lose enough momentum to let the right side overtake, as it deflected off of 'awkward' surfaces.
    My third thought was just imagining how marble runs tend to behave, i've seen them grip tracks that were even more extreme than this. The left marble would shoot off, combining all of these factors, you strengthen your own intuition.

    I love this stuff, it reminds me that understanding physics problems and even science in general benefit from assessing things that are intuitive to us, combining them, and then using the result to realise and sit within a new intuition.

    Essentially, our fleshy, middle sized, survival concerned brains have a lot of trouble with building new intuition.

    I can deal with a deceptive marble run, but jeeze, it must be incredibly hard for modern scientists to take something like a black hole and go "you know what this reminds me of?"

  4. I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.

    78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High — 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.

    81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.

    88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.

    92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;

    and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.

    99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."

    102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." …..2 Esdras 7:75

  5. Can some please explain, I only have a high school understanding of physics and I would think that because both of them have the same potential speed both should have the same speed by the end. Do they have the same speed by the end but itโ€™s just that the curve balls initial acceleration is faster but slows down? Or is it that it is faster?
