Very, very interesting.
In the video, people looks like penguins walking...

Does the fact that planets circle around their sun more or less in same plane also have a synchronization explanation? Also, I would perhaps think this plane is more or less perpendicular to the rotation axis of the sun ...

I know how every polyrhythm eventually syncs up on one beat even with vastly different rhythms like 34:83 or 12:95, a similar principle here.

Every prostitute should be forced to watch this video every day around 4pm.

All people are horses.

I saw this Nike red video. That dude does some crazy chemical experiments

12:29 What instrument is that ?

disorder and chaos are subjective terms

An intelligent designer made the universe Yahweh is his name

9:53 synchronised clapping after chaos clapping is a cultural thing in Hungary, it may be due to what you said, but people do it consciously as it means ‘again’—for the performers to come out and bow etc

The law of entropy is not really about order in the sense of organisation and synchronicity.
It's actually more about one very fundamental concept.
For any process, the amount of energy available for work is diminished.
As long as there is a difference of energy levels, there is a potential for a flow of energy and therefore a potential for work to be done.
If all the energy in the universe was evenly distributed, things would be very orderly and synchronised, but the universe would be stone cold dead.

scapegoat central, no need for sorries or thank you. I don't care

What was the last bit "How can you figure out properties of the whole given the properties of parts?"

best friend women can synchronise their periods

Quality content.. Love it

This has to be one of my favorite videos ever on YouTube

The millennium bridge wasn't swaying because the people were walking in step, the people were walking in step in response to the lateral sway of the bridge. Their walking in step then caused it to sway ever more.

@Prof. Steven Strogatz and @Veritasium,
I believe the reason why it is hard to figure out the properties of whole given the properties of parts is because, of the level of mental activity human mind can reach in normal state. Due to the limited amount of energy our body can process, it becomes very hard to understand the bigger picture, which is relative in different people's case.

Coupled oscillation via vibrational transference, got it.

Well I am not auto synchronised to my missus, maybe I am a freak of nature?

Chaos and Order are not different to Nature.... They are 2 sides of the same coin.

Finally, something to adequately explain Aphex Twin's video, windowlicker.
Thank you for your service, good sir.

Actually at all you challenge the physics.

Super cool video thanks!

Obviously there is a God, unfortunately this fact is not obvious to many. Giving credit to "Nature" is naive and illogical.

This can apply to all life, I’ll give you an example I was at a concert and somebody started a fight and somebody else in the crowd got angry and they started a fight, at the end of the concert it turned into a riot and everyone was starting to fight.
This theory applies to everyone and that GOD is real, And synchronization is the key to the multi-verse.

I notice this happening in a line of cars, with their turn signals on. They'll sync up for a while, then go out of phase again, creating interesting rhyrmic patterns.
I am very easily entertained.

Very informative

Hey..babies in the nursery cry and dogs in a kennel bark out of sync...

So...if one clock stops..or..is out of time..how would anyone know the correct time?
He should have had a third clock as a tie breaker..or..better yet..a fourth clock for confirmation🤣

Your opinion on nature being chaotic and disordered is a subjective point of view. These smaller chaotic occurrences are part of a bigger order.

This is interesting, because when a group of women get together, like in a roommate kinda situation, then tend to get their periods at the same time!

So everything has a frequency including us humans. Everything living and inanimate is effected by frequency, however living things have a higher frequency than inanimate objects, and some humans have a higher frequency than others.

that was 20 minutes.....? i thought it was 6 yo

Gravity 👈 morons🤓

1 Hz seems worse than 2 Hz would be, but maybe I'm just not a civil engineer

“Entropy is the natural order of the universe.”

The man at the end sounded like David Bohm :)

yet another reason to realize God controls the entire universe.

Its same with my walk i literally Almost always walk the same speed in steps as the person Im walking with

Even more interesting is the oscillation in American politics...

Hehe penguins

Many years ago myth busters used a linear actuator on an old disused bridge, the movement was maybe 4 to 6 inches but after a while the resonance created a measurable sway within the bridge.

It was great to learn more about synchronization. It really helped me strengthening up my faith a little bit more. It reminded me of a God that puts order in chaos as Genesis 1-2 shows us. A God who holds all the wisdom and the secrets of cosmos (Job 38). A God who loves me and you with sacrificial love (John 3:16) and who will eventually put everything in place again (Revelation 22)

maybe fireflies were celebrating saying hip hip hurraaaaaaaaayyy

This is very interesting. Great video. But does this also applies to lights? What if we had blinking multiple blinking lights? Does this apply too?

Two pedantic notes from a retired electrical engineer:
[1] The bridge sync is like any system that has a resonance (and there may be more than one resonant frequency in a system). Electrical engineers routines apply "white noise" (randomness) to a resonant system to determine its resonant frequency(s).
[2] When two timing sources are "close" in frequency, then something called a "beat" frequency results from the difference between the two frequencies. For example, if one is 0.1% different from the other (i.e. "close"), then there should be one "beat" every 1000 cycles. If 0.01% apart, then 10000, etc. Now if that frequency is from something slow, like a metronome or pendulum, say 1/sec, then you would have to wait 10000 sec (about 2.8 hours) before they sync, but only "momentarily", before they start to drift away. Then there's the "anti-beat" when they're motions are synced oppositely, at half the time, but repeats at the same frequency of once/2.8 hr. Now that also assumes that these are perfect timing systems with no animalities to throw a stick into the spokes, otherwise, more chaos ensues. Now multiply that to say 50 metronomes. The math gets more sticky, like the complexities of the 2-body vs. 3-body (or more) celestial orbital equations. But then computers were made to simulate is stuff so we humans can stay (mostly) sane.
And this shouldn't detract from any enjoyment of the simplicity of the world around us, just know that it's there and the engineers (mostly) know how to address any issues that come along (albeit, after the fact sometimes).

I appreciate over exaggerated examples, thank you

14:12 Golden Ratio.

This universe and this life is not random, but meticulously designed by a higher thinker.

1:56
"They aren't part of an army"
That's what you think

17:24 shouldn't it say swayed instead of suede in the subtitles? Fabulous video all the same...

The unstable base is the answer.

Thanks 👍

Wait is this why women living together get their periods around the same time?

All this is common sense

Is there a formula as to when does the sync happen? At least for something simple, like metronomes? Ah, this is some exciting stuff.

woop nilered

The big picture.

Esto significa que nosotros volveremos al sol?
(Se volvera a juntar la tierra con el sol xd incluidos otros planetas del sistema)

Quality+Quantity=Veritasium

Hmm. There must be a God somewhere?

I always wondered why clapping would line up like that!! Omg.
When I used to sit in chapel in high school (private Christian school) we would always end up clapping in sync. I would hear this and intentionally change my clapping, lol.
I never knew this was almost a rule of nature

God.

OK Now, -- Now that my friends is how you start a morning with your cup,of tea!! - Had more of my school-age and muddle adult pedestrian observations answered in 5-minutes than any other source -ever. Yep, gonna be a good many days after this, probably decades and lifetime what's remainning after this one. . .thanks..*

God is amazing

Lightening bugs not fire flies

That is absolutely MIND BOGGLING سبحان الله

Veritasium, can we please agree there is no experimental proof for entropy. If entropy is proven wrong over and over experimentally, if planets form from stars and organic life cycles thru life and death, exchanging disordered matter to then reorder. If we can consume elements like minerals and via enzymes convert them in to living cells then entropy is NOT REAL. Just the same as medicine, dogma exists. Entropy I hear over and over to explain time flowing in one direction... you don't need entropy!

21 minutes to explain this? You should be ashamed.

In Rotterdam a big bridge nearly collapsed when there was a dance parade and people where all jumping at the same time

12th standard education i guess

Quality video!

Human was a Metronom too.

Reality is more fascinating than any theory. The magic attributed to the unanimated world is like a veil that prevents people to see its actual reality.And sometimes people becomes frustrated and even irritated when it is explained in simpler terms. The best example I know about it is when the great English poet Milton said Newton had removed the magic of the rainbow after Newton’s explanation of light.

0:28 . GOD

7:30 you can do better than that

👍🏻

So we could eliminate traffic jams by using wobbly roads?
I'm pretty sure those traffic jams are the only event ignoring the laws of physics.

Ethereum

So youre telling me that there will be a point of time that the entire people on earth will say the same thing or walk or jump the same?

6:06 I can't be the only one seeing an army of marching swordsmen?

I'm surprised Huygens didn't intuit and anticipate or at least immediately understand the cause of this effect. Had he never seen how pendulums in different forms synchronize on a ship, or in a carriage, or even when you are just out walking and things hang off of you? Why would pendulums hanging from clocks be any different?
O_o
Maybe I'm a physics savant, who just never studied physics. Or maybe Huygens had an off day at work :P
Edit: Seriously, how do people not immediately just see how this works? What causes the effect? I am starting to think I've wasted my youth in the wrong career.
No need for fancy explanations. The more a pendulum moves on an angle to gravity, the more it pulls whatever it is tethered to out of place. Simple so far, right? One could delve into it, but I think most who have used a swing can intuit it. When a swing is at the top, it can pull the whole swing frame out of place. Okay... So when a swing is at the top, it transfers energy to the frame it is tethered to. The frame then shifts perpendicularly to the ground. The shifting frame will transfer energy to other pendulums attached to it. The more parallelly to the ground a pendulum is moving, the more of the energy that the beam transfers to it results in movement because the frame is moving completely parallelly to the ground. If the pendulum is moving at 45 degrees to the ground, half of the energy transferred to it will be directed towards the ground, and just result in friction. The other half will result in movement along the axis that the pendulum is moving.
The frame transfers energy from pendulums moving perpendicularly to the ground to pendulums moving parallelly to the ground. The more perpendicular and parallel the motions are, the greater the effect. So energy is transferred until the pendulums are in sync.
The pendulums don't even have to be influencing the frame they are attached to to sync up. It is enough that the frame is moving fairly rhythmically, like from wind or waves. Pretty sure that is by far the biggest factor for pendulums on ships, for instance.
Huygens, you n00b.

And it relys on the fact they all are the same. If one was bigger or smaller it wouldn't work. There is a lesson here.

When you look att the the turn signal on two different cars when they have stopped due to a traffic light. These turn signals will also synchronise. How come?

That's not Huygens, that's Dave Mustaine.

I see turn signal lights on cars Synchronize randomly

The whole University has synchronicity. It has to do with the Rythm of The Spirit we are living in.

LMAO THIS WAS ON A STATE TEST! Thank you for making educational, yet interesting content! Pretty sure they used the same sources you did.

Nothing beats the ancient civilizations' innovation which last thousand years

Firefly populations in different locations around Tennessee, if memory serves, light up in waves.

The 2 clocks synchronize because it's love!

The videos are so satisfying to watch

We don’t really have to go back 350 years.

Humans. Don't get me started. As the herd of we primates fell into step, a perfectly reasonable way to move in a dense crowd -- Hello, army! -- they set up a dangerous resonance in the bridge structure, something the engineers had not anticipated. They should have studied human herds, amd the military, before drawing up the structure. During the American Civil War, and I imagine in all the wars of humanity whenever a pontoon bridge was laid over a body of water, the troops were instructed to break route step, and just shamble randomly over, like any crowd in a street. Resonance has long been noted for its destructive properties, (see earthquakes, wind and Galloping Gerty, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure) but I think, forgotten for its positive properties, both physical and mental. And for anyone who reads this and gets a redass about it, we are all primates, the alleged greatest of the great apes. Sometimes we act like that ... sometimes not so much. We contain both.

To answer 19:30; Almighty God's Word!

I am a scientists and this blows me away

So this is how we solve the "measuring unidirectional speed of light" problem? We use this principle to synchronize the clocks of the detectors
