It is the equal masses of the balls in the cradle that allow for the uniform transfer of momentum and the neato patterns.
Bowling balls are all the same size but of different weights (mass) and. as a result, go helter-skelter.
I eventually put together a well-matched set and it did work, all the way up to eight balls.

Interesting that they are just over or under the density of water, hence some float and some sink.
Makes a good bar or swimming pool bet.

Little known fact, Saturn is also a duck.

BigV · 05-06-2020, 04:09 PM

No shame in fear but it's to your advantage to fear the right things...

Yep. I use B&P to make the clock spin. I'm on page 559 atm. Only like 2500 or something like that to go.

Then I can start back on page one!

This is real but I wonder if the counter programming was necessary? I've watched it happen with my Dad to a lesser extent.
