i don't know why people find this so hard to believe is real. it's the same principle behind crystal formation.
TakeTheStairs
what principle is that? youre talking about two entirely dif processes
not really. lowest energy states, packing problem, they're so similar, even at a math and physics level, that one is used to teach the other

I guess people just don't make the connection between a box of nails and the internal structure of crystals... bunch of peasants.

I made this comment two months ago. I am not funny. This, however, is comedic gold. If anyone reads this and thinks it is funny...

Well ty I am enlightened. I thought that someone had figured out the age old problem of nail sorting.
I was mystified for a few seconds myself. Some things when you shake them do make order like balls and hexagons.

No it didn’t. It has nothing to do with entropy or Maxwell’s demon.
ChunkOfJuice
Science attached to it* it does have to do with entropy but not maxwells demon. Though maxwells demon is a super interesting talking point.
Everything is affected by entropy, but it is not entropy that causes the nails to be sorted like this. Entropy is not about "order" and
Agreed. But the "ordered" nails being an increase in entropy is confusing for some people. A good jumping off point for learning abit of sci
specially not on that scale. Order/disorder is a terrible crux that has been wrongfully used to describe entropy for way too long. Have a
More interesting name and more pixels the first time i saw it too.

I had a bucket full of legos. If I shook it up long enough, the large pieces floated to the top, small pieces to bottom. Easy to find stuff!
Yes things will tend towards lowest possible gravitational potential. In your legos that is packed as closely as possible towards the bottom

What sorcery is this?!

Gravity
ThePastmaster
In a word: Physics.
Objects will tend towards a lowest possible gravitational potential(this is why things fall), and by shaking them the loose top nails will
bounce around, but the parallel ones are more restricted. So over time more and more will align and stay there. You can see this behaviour
everywhere. Put a bunch of assorted stuff in a box, dig around looking for something. Eventually all the smaller stuff will be sorted toward
the bottom packed between larger stuff.

It is actually not reversed.
LaronX
Stuff normally doesn't randomly get orderly.
I know :) that's why so many belive it is reversed. I thought so too until I saw that gif actually reversed.
Its physics though. It's in a confines space and gets shaken around in a particular way to get uniform rods to line up.
Kamica
This is kinda how crystal structures work, right?
uhmm, no? in what way do you mean?
Mediumtim2
Yup, natural alignment and stacking
In the sense that both are about structures that are ordered, maybe? But not really no. The nails are sorted like this because of
gravitational potential(laying nice parallel allows them to be at minimum potential), whereas chemical connections are because of the
potential of the bonding forces of the atoms. Molecules will tend to react towards a lowest potential too, unless heated or in a stable
configuration. Stable crystals are just a configuration of atoms with a lower potential than not in a crystal.

The reversed version breaks the laws of physics.
OnlyBones
Tilt down, rods magically go up. Sound like physics to me.
At the start of the reversed version you can see some weird nails flying in an illogical manner that cases them to land sideways.
In fact, every time a nail jumps in the reversed version you can see that it's jumping from the wrong side since it's being shaken the other
way at the time.
