It's cool how the 4 on the right are lending some of their energy to the one on the left. Watch the left one. It has a smaller swing than the others and gradually gets greater until it matches the others. For anyone not understanding this the cans and board are the key. The board shifts slightly back and forth dampening some while adding energy to others until synchronicity is achieved.

They stopped crossing with more than two at a time and told them to deliberately walk out of step. Eventually everyone got across but the few that were thrown ended up with broken bones and one was seriously injured from the fall.

[@antenym8947]

Its quite simple. When one of the metronomes swings a force is exerted on the bottles below which causes them to move. When multiple does that it moves in such a way that the small forces exerted on the bottles slightly alters the swinging motion of the metronomes until they eventually synchronize with each other. I have just gotten started in studying physics and could easily figure that out cmon dude.

[@Metal-and-Mythos]

@@antenym8947 i know😂😂 i just thought the joke would be more funny if i said i had no clue Also you would get a 1/3 for that explanation because it’s actually a frequency system with each metronome applying their frequency to the moving beam causing the beam to have an average frequency that it then applies back to the metronomes equalising till everything has the same frequency (tbh even my explanation is still not complete since i study physics to be a teacher rather then a researcher)

[@rykehuss3435]

@@Metal-and-Mythos You would get 2/3 for that since you failed to mention anything about energy

[@Metal-and-Mythos]

@@rykehuss3435 what energy? Although it can be explained using energy theory when explaining it with frequency the only energy in the system is in the frequency and thus you can use frequency instead of saying “the frequency of the metronome uses its energy to apply movement to the beam which changed that movement back into energy to change the frequency of the metronome” “better wording would be “metronome 1 applies its frequency to metronome 2 using the beam as a medium”

The explanation for this is that the vibrations and kinetic energy of each metronome is transferred into the surface below which moves depending on the net force. This same force is disturbed back to each metronome. The most stable energy state is when they are all in sync with each other and not conflicting each other’s movement. When they eventually reach that state, they can’t get back out the cycle since it’s the most stable.

[@gabereiser]

For those of you interested in the "why". There are an odd number of metronomes. This makes sure there's a force greater in one direction as 3/5 metronomes will swing that way. This exerts force on metronomes that aren't moving that direction, nudging them backwards from their momentum. This slight nudge backwards counters the pendulum effect causing the metronome to move further towards the side with greater force. Over time this will cause all metronomes to synchronize to the greater force pendulum. If you were to do this with four metronomes it might get interesting as 2 are going left, 2 are going right, but eventually friction in the bearings will force a side.

The energy at the top of the movements is dispersed down into the table (besides the normal constant forces acting against them) and because they all move with the same frequency of motion their transfer of energy harmonizes. Like ripples that overlap but eventually join into one larger ripple/wave.

[@nordinreecendo512]

I think this happens because the metronomes average out one direction, so if three swing left and two swing right, the average is swinging left, causing the platform to move in that direction and weaken the rightward swinging of the two metronomes. Eventually, those two are so weakened that they stop entirely, but then the motion of the platform causes them to swing again, this time in the direction of the other metronomes, thus causing them to sync up. This is just a theory though, I have no way to confirm or deny this, but it makes sense to me.

[@justinthomas226]

The rocking of the wood on the two cans puts a majority force on the rockers that are not in line with the others that are closer in sync and slowly draws them all together to swing in the same rate to achieve balance.

[@rhinovirus2225]

Yes which I would not call spontaneous synchronization by any means. Maybe resonant synchronization or something like that

Thank you, I was wondering why this happened.

It's interesting how different the feeling can be. For me, it's the other way around. Somehow I have "respect" for this effect here, in a rather negative, intimidating way. For me, the whole thing radiates something, like several different currents are switched to the same, until there is only one direction, to which everyone submits. That has something of a dictatorship. I know I'm exaggerating, of course, it was just about the vibes i get from this scientific phenomenon :)

[@GimmeMyHandleBack]

It’s probably got something to do with the fact that the surface they’re on moves with their momentum, counteracting the ones that go the wrong timing until they cooperate

[@lapis591]

Yes, it takes more energy to go against the momentum, thus the opposite direction movement starts to decay. The metronomes that are going in the opposing direction begin moving in the unifying direction since it requires less energy.

[@jengleheimerschmitt7941]

Yep. Same thing happens with a bunch of people walking on a suspension bridge. Their footsteps synchronize, then the bridge collapses.

I'm no physicist, but what I think is happening here is that the metronomes are moving so much that they are shaking the base back and forth on the cans. The base's subtle rocking is causing inertia, which is leading to a slight pull that eventually makes it to each needle, causing them to click together.
