This is the "trick" I had to use when binding the two halves (front and back) of my chainmail together. The pattern I used could work flawlessly for creating a cylinder but there's no logical way to bind the rings together at the top to form the shoulder 'seam'. Went through a lot of variations before I cracked open a website on borromean rings to see what I could do with that concept and came up with one that blends so well with the pattern that you really can't tell they're different until you look very closely at which rings are on top of what other rings.

Raised in a rural town to hate the roman occupation (and their enablers) by a family who named all of their children after maccabean revolutionary heroes. He was a patriot, he was an inspiration, but no more Messiah, or king, or son of god than me or you. he never rose from the dead. not in spirit, not in flesh, and not until the general resurrection of the dead. Most importantly he would be appalled that gentiles worship him while ignoring his teaching and example in doing the law.

I love the video, but you missed an example. You could have created the circular rings with a curvature in the 3rd dimension to allow them to pass through each other. When viewed from above, they would still appear as seen in the diagram.

you could also extrude them upwards from the paper I think. like one of those illusions where from the top, you see circles, but from the side, they're different heights or something.
Yeah, when you said about braids I thought we could use ropes (placing the green, then red, then like weave the blue into the red and green strings). Perhaps it'll also work with other materials, but at least one of them has to be bent. It would no longer be a perfect circle though in a strict sense, but we can create an illusion. I tried using binder rings.

Here’s an easy experiment that changing volume can change temperature. Take a wide rubber band and measure its temperature. Stretch and hold the rubber band and immediately measure its temperature. It should be warmer. Hold it against your lip. It will feel warmer. Hold the stretch until it comes back to room temperature. Then release the stretch and immediately measure the temperature. It will be cooler. If you hold it to your lip immediately after you release the stretch, it will feel cooler. Try the same experiment with a bottle of soda at room temperature. Shake the bottle vigorously and measure the temperature. Because volume is constant and pressure increases, the temperature should increase. Pres.*Volume =n*R*Temp : the ideal gas law. Let the bottle you shook up come back to ambient temperature. Then quickly let the gas out. It’s probably going to be messy. Then immediately measure the temperature. It should be cooler. Anyway, I love your videos and thought this would make a fun, low-cost experiment to demonstrate thermodynamics. Cheers.
Can you make this with larger/thinner rings to make it less elliptical so can be put on desk more like the image version? If these rings are made of soft things like rubber or rope, then we should be able to just detach them?
I love watching your videos and learning random physics/science. Do you have any suggestions for magazines? I would love to get something to read every month or so that’s not too marketed for kids and also don’t have to be a scientist to understand it.

@@zecuse Or you could just simply print them in halves then glue. For something like this, that would be far easier... Remember that all three rings are the same dimensions, so modeling it once, splitting it and adding a simple mortise and tenon for the glue is an easy CAD exercise.
Everytime I learn something new by watching your video… 🥰
The drawing makes us to assume that one is looking at the rings orthogonally (perpendicularly to the paper) and that the rings are on or close to the plane of the paper. But if you consider the rings in 3-space and tilt them all slightly, they APPEAR as perfect circles but in fact are still elliptical in 2-space. They are different in size. Try it at home by taking a screen print of those rings and tilting the paper away from you. You see the rings change from circles to ellipses. If each were drawn as an ellipse, though, tilting in the opposite direction would make them more circular. At least, it's something to play with.
Reminds me of a monkey's fist knot. I loved making those as a kid, and then having me and my friends hit each other with them in an epic arena of combat, haha
Making one of these with key rings is fun.
I use this same concept to close up cardboard boxes, which each flap overlapping over the next. I'm pretty sure you can make rings do it in real life too.
your narration is awesome 🙏🙏🙏
that awkward situation when that one friend leaves you sitting next to a stranger that is his friend
I got into this rabbit hole because of an art project I have and you have amazing timing because I have this question too
I believe that there is a way to make braids while having the two extremities fixed which would make them un-knots rather than Brunian links.
Excellent video!!! Started good then got better. Thanks.
From what I remember when I watched a single video about loop topology: if the amount of overlaps above is equal to the amount of overlaps below, it is not connected to anything. Since all three rings overlap twice above and twice below, they are not connected to anything
Definitely neat, but what are the practical implications (for the quantum mechanics part)?
THE ONLY GLOBER I ADMIRE
interesting comment about the Quantum physics near the end, and how the particles can remain bound at larger discrete distances if you pump in more energy. I wonder if this is related to the 3 different masses of related particles...
Would have loved to see what it looks in real-life more like the picture. Like made with clay or rubber.
You could make a real life version very simply by cutting out the image from the paper with a knife - and then gluing in a six extra little bits of paper to fill in the gaps where one ring goes under another.

I would think with 3 colored pieces of licorice you could bend them around until you got that pattern and then join the ends. Or is the whole premise you MUST have rings to start off with?
Oh very interesting loved it
Definitely thought we were taking a commercial break to reflect on Macarena (song from long ago). Took a sec to figure out why a segment about Macarena would have robot walky thingies... oh... Mech Arena...
I theorize that you could do it it wouldn't be entirely flat but you could do it. You would have to focus on the top two shapes first. Then the bottom one has to form inside the other two like joining rings on a chain.
Sounds like a cute romantic gift for your triad

I think it is interesting that the ancient Norse and other people discovered Borromean Rings long ago. The Norse used three equilateral triangles which works in 3D without distorting the triangles. This is an advantage over circles which have to be oval. The Norse and Germans used this as a religious symbol.
In a 3D Design class focused on metals at my schools. Have based pretty much all of my art off of some sort of mathematics (ex: made a bracelet based off of a Julia set). I think I found my next concept lol.
