Some added notes (I may come back to add more later): 1) There's a slight error in the video where I say the answer is floor(pi/theta). Really it should be ceil(pi/theta) - 1, to account for the cases where pi/theta is an integer. For example, when the mass ratio is 1, theta will be pi/4, so pi/theta is 4, but there are 3 clacks. As stated in the video, though, you still think about this is "how many times can you add theta to itself before it surpasses (or equals) pi?" 2) What I animate here as I say "angle of reflection" and "angle of incidence" differs a little with convention. Typically in optics, you look at the angle between the beam and a line *perpendicular* to the mirror, rather than with the mirror itself. 3) Some people have asked about if the tan(x) ≈ x approximation, being off by only a cubic error term, is actually close enough not to affect the final count. It's actually a very interesting answer! I really went back and forth on whether or not to include this in the video but decided to leave it out to better keep things to the point. This difference between arctan(x) and x could be problematic for our final count if, at some point when you're looking at the first 2n digits of pi, the last n of them are all 9's. It seems exceedingly unlikely that this should be true. For example, among the first 100 million digits of pi, the maximal sequence of consecutive 9's has length 8, whereas you'd need a sequence of 50 million for things to break our count! Nevertheless, this is quite difficult to prove, related to the question of whether or not pi is a "normal" number, roughly meaning that it's digits behave like a random sequence. It was left as a conjecture in Galperin's paper on the topic. See sections 9 and 10 of that paper (linked in the description) for more details. 4) A word on terminology: I tend to use the word “phase space” to describe any space like the ones described in this video and the last, encoding some state of some system. This is common in the context of math, but you should know, that often in the context of mechanics, this term is reserved for the special case of a space which encodes both the positions and the momenta of all the objects involved. For example, in that setting, the “phase space” here would be four-dimensional, where the four coordinates represent the position and momentum of each pair of blocks. The term “configuration space”, in contrast, just refers to one where the coordinates describe the positions of all the objects involved, which is what we did here. I hope you enjoyed this little sequence. I still get happy whenever I think about the phenomenon and the various explanations for it.

A car that automatically sets its speed to the value of the distance to a reference point would give you e^x, and therefore e. But let me try to provide some new perspective first. For the general formula y=a^x the only value for a where the formula is equal to its derivation is e. That's kind of the definition, but by that we don't know the actual value of e yet for which this works. But we can conclude that if you draw the function e^x and take any point on it, and you draw a tangent to it through that point, it will always intersect the x axis exactly one to the left. So for a point P with coordinates (x_p, y_p), it would intersect at (x_p - 1, 0). Why? Because the slope of the tangent is the derivation of e^x which is e^x again by definition, which has the value y_p at this point. Going one to the left results in going y_p down, and we started at height y_p so we end up at zero. In theory, you could draw e^x with this knowledge, and read the value at x=1 to find the value for e. Drawing it would work like this: Start by drawing a point at (0, 1), because a^0 is always 1 for all values of a. Go one unit to the left and mark the x axis, in this case at (-1, 0). Draw a line through these two points. This is the slope at your starting point. Follow the slope a tiiiny little bit to the right beyond where we started, mark another point and repeat the process for this new point: Your x-axis intersection also moves a tiny bit to the right (in order to always be one unit left of our current point), draw a line through it and through our new point, and mark an even newer new point to the right of our old new point. Repeat. It feels like taking a triangle with a base of constant size 1 and shifting it to the right while its top corner keeps touching the function. Repeat until you reach x=1. Read the y value. Congratulations, this is e. Well, it would be, if you could truly do infinitesimal small steps to the right. You can approximate it by using smaller and smaller steps. But what if we start by taking big steps instead? Lets find of what happens at stepsize 1. Big leaps. Going one to the right with the same slope without "updating" it in between. Start is at (0, 1) again, thus the first slope is 1. Following the same steps, your next points will be (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 8) etc. which all lie on y=2^x. So 2 would be our first approximation of e. Think of it as someone sitting in a car, one meter away from a reference point. Once every second he looks at the distance to the reference point and adjusts his speed to this value. So he starts with 1m/s, drives 1s to total distance 2, then (instantaneously) sets his speed to 2, drives one second to distance 4 etc. The pattern is 2^x again. If he updates his speed faster, his trajectory will get closer to e^x. If he manages to construct a perfect control engineering device that could measure the distance with no delay and could instantaneously adjust the speed, the distance of the car over time would be a perfect e^x. Just measure the distance at t=1s and you get the value for e.

hi 3B1B, during my attempt to solve this problem, I encountered both of your solutions. In addition, I found that the velocity-time curve of the lighter block looks like a Gaussian/normal distribution curve, while that of the heavier block looks like a sigmoid/logistic function. can you explain the connection in this case? How do you get pi from these functions?

Spontaneously I see two connections to a circle: First the normal destribution is of the form exp(-x²) with some more parameters. If you integrate it (the Integral looks like a sigmoid function), you usually integrate in polar coordinates (they are circle like) and the Integral from negativ infinity to infinity is pi. Second, in Physics the gaussian function has a special connection to Fourietransformation, as it is the function in which the product of the standard derivation before and after the transformation is minimal. 3B1B explained Fourietransformation with a circle, so maybe you can start there.

@skaterlehrling

5 жыл бұрын

Woah probs to you that you figured out both soluntions. I also encountered a similar curve, but I think it has nothing to do with the gaussian distribution and the sigmoid function. The exponential factor was defined to 1/sqrt((σ^2)(2π)) for practical reasons. Moreover it is a weirdly stretched cosine and sine function which maybe can be proven by looking at the v1 v2 diagram. The weird stretch might be a result of the varying time periods between the collisions.

this is so interesting,... please make more about this phenomenon

I always seem a bit lost in the middle of your videos, the screen is filled with formulas and I think I'll need some time to process all the things written, but then you pull out an amazing visual aid and everything suddenly makes sense! Love your videos, seriously such great content!

You've really outdone yourself with this one, that was absolutely stunning.

I love how it got to the exact same part of the proof at the end...

Was struggling with a similar problem in how to solve it by Paul Zeitz! An absolutely beautiful and elegant proof. Thank you so much 3Blue1Brown

I am nearly in tears....It's Sunday night and I am doing vectors in Calc2 right now at this moment and struggling horribly. I see this video and all of a sudden, its laced with linear algebra and vectors. I view this as some type of sign, its too much of a coincidence. Thank you, Grant. I have said it so many times in the past, thank you. You and several others inspire me to keep on pushing; there is a light at the end of my dark tunnel with math. I know it. :-)

Grant puts out videos so innocent and so insightful that i cry everytime i watch a new one

Awesome video grant, thanks! You should make a video about differential forms, orientation, and the generalized stokes’ theorem

Please continue making this many videos

really awesome transformation of the problem, and a total new perspective of view

I was so confused for most of this, but that solution at the end is so elegant! That method is so easy!

I was just about to go to bed, when I saw this upload. I kid you not that I said, “This, I’ll allow”

10:43 Holy shit, Let the light pass through the mirror and flip the whole world. 3b1b thinks in the reflected world.

This is simply the best channel I've ever seen on youtube!

Watching your videos is pure bliss. Keep them coming...

The reason why I study English is to watch 3blue1brown's video. But there is a limit. Please anyone translate to korean😢😢

6:39 When second block is 16kg, the first one bounces 12 times. 12 is 1100 in binary and pi is 11.001001 in binary. Does it work for every base?

By far the best educational content in KZread. My mind keeps getting blown in each and every one of your uploads

This is beautiful and satisfying. There was a point 3/4 of the way through where the math lost me.... but then it came round to an elegant visualisation and I actually feel physically calmer now for it. It's an odd sensation to describe.

There is a point I am quite confused: in 3:16 it says angle of incidence does not equal angle of reflection, it is understandable as the two blocks are not in the same mass and they will eventually move together at the same time; however, in 6:53, it appears that angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection, complying with conservation of momentum. I am wondering the reason behind. Is it because the axes change from distance to square root of mass times distance? Thank you a lot!

@ Same here... I start feeling bad about how stupid I am and how much more there is to learn and understand in this universe but I am so dumb I don't understand most of the things I find interesting like math and science but I can't stop watching KZread videos by these smart people. Wish I was smart enough to contribute something to this beautiful world😔😢😢🙁...

You've got a little bit of an infinite amount of intelligence

I love the way you make math look so easy and obvious

This 3 videos series blew my mind.... I am mesmerized by the way maths and physics connects... I will remember this video series till my last breath (hopefully)....

14:15 Well then, a (web)novel I'm writing is, so far, worth 1120 IQ points (14 PoV/perspective changes. There are multiple main characters we see through the eyes of). And it's not even CLOSE to done.
