i don't know why people find this so hard to believe is real. it's the same principle behind crystal formation.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

what principle is that? youre talking about two entirely dif processes

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

Well ty I am enlightened. I thought that someone had figured out the age old problem of nail sorting.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

Science attached to it* it does have to do with entropy but not maxwells demon. Though maxwells demon is a super interesting talking point.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

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

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

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!

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yes things will tend towards lowest possible gravitational potential. In your legos that is packed as closely as possible towards the bottom

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Objects will tend towards a lowest possible gravitational potential(this is why things fall), and by shaking them the loose top nails will

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 2

Stuff normally doesn't randomly get orderly.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 9

I know :) that's why so many belive it is reversed. I thought so too until I saw that gif actually reversed.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Its physics though. It's in a confines space and gets shaken around in a particular way to get uniform rods to line up.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

This is kinda how crystal structures work, right?

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

uhmm, no? in what way do you mean?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yup, natural alignment and stacking

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 2

In the sense that both are about structures that are ordered, maybe? But not really no. The nails are sorted like this because of

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

gravitational potential(laying nice parallel allows them to be at minimum potential), whereas chemical connections are because of the

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

potential of the bonding forces of the atoms. Molecules will tend to react towards a lowest potential too, unless heated or in a stable

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

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.

Tilt down, rods magically go up. Sound like physics to me.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

At the start of the reversed version you can see some weird nails flying in an illogical manner that cases them to land sideways.

5 years ago | Likes 36 Dislikes 1

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
