This entire video makes me feel like I'm about to get hit by the most devastating attack in all of Earthbound

4:50 hardest drop of all time

0:04 heart shape 0:09 single leaf 0:18 butterfly shape 0:28 logo 0:36 flower shape 0:46 star

40:00 full cycle 20:00 half cycle 13:20 third cycle 10:00 quarter cycle 8:00 fifth cycle 6:40 sixth cycle 5:42 seventh cycle

9:38 tension builds 9:53 something will happen soon 9:57 dramatic pause 9:59 *POP*

Imagine getting 250 people together and performing this live

Primary: 0:00, 40:00 Secondary: 20:00 Tertiary: 10:00, 30:00 Quaternary: 5:00, 15:00, 25:00, 35:00 Quinary: 2:30, 12:30, 22:30, 32:30 Senary: 1:15, 11:15, 21:15, 31:15 Septenary: 0:38, 10:38, 20:38, 30:38 Octonary: 0:19, 10:19, 20:19, 30:19 Nonary: 0:09, 10:09, 20:09, 30:09 Denary: 0:05, 10:05, 20:05, 30:05

The fact that it can make all possible shapes in less than an hour says something

2:30 is when the last dot makes its first doot, and I feel this is incredibly important.

9:59 i love this part lol idk why i think its kinda cute how they all hit at the same time

Over and over The pheromones, the overwhelming harmony Consuming the colony The Circle rules your life Chop, chop! Don't want to be late Lift up and carry your weight You've got no choice but to dance in a spiral of ants True bugs might laugh in your face Don't fret, you're leading the race Don't let the bastards step on your hands in a spiral of ants You can't remember where you came from (In a spiral of ants) You can't remember where you're going (In a spiral of ants) You can't remember knowing You are one ant Over, it's over The pheromones, the self-avoiding odyssey Consuming the colony The Circle rules your life Now, now! Don't run out of breath Don't feel surrounded by death, no Take the wheel, this could be your chance, in a spiral of ants False bugs, you'll soon be alone See how they drop like a stone You're free now forever to dance in a spiral of ants Now you remember where you came from (From a spiral of ants) Now you remember where you're going (To a spiral of ants) You've got to keep it flowing You are one ant (Over, over, over) Over and over The pheromones, the overwhelming harmony Consuming the colony Creating its own gravity Before we knew it we became a hurricane And the bugs who laughed got blown away As we proclaimed: The Circle rules your life

Wow what a unique sound! I am amazed at the relationship between the sound and the patterns generated in the center. Hypnotizing!

You make some of the most satisfying videos ever.

Its mind blowing how it starts ordered, descends into chaos, and then suddenly syncs up perfectly with the ad.

Very interesting how all of the aspects of the universe interlace. The parallels between sound and geometry are very cool.

That really freaked my German Shepherd out. She just tried to break down my studio door.

The scary thing is that every dot is just going in a straight line.

For free satisfying moments, take 40:00 and divide it by some not-very-big integer. For example, 40:00 / 6 = 6:40, so there are nice moments at integer multiples of 6:40: 0:00 6:40 13:20 20:00 26:40 33:20 and 40:00. Or, if you choose 9, you get: 0:00 4:27 8:53 13:20 17:47 22:13 26:40 31:07 35:23 40:00 If you divide by 7 you get: 0:00 5:43 11:26 17:09 22:51 28:34 34:17 40:00

0:09 Full cycle 0:19 Quarter cycle 0:28 Third cycle 0:38 Eighth cycle 0:47 Fifth cycle 0:57 Twelfth cycle 1:07 Seventh cycle 1:26 Ninth cycle 2:30 37:30 Drop

This makes me laugh uncontrollably. THANK YOU!!

19:40 you can just watch the two red points get closer and closer as the stars align and the chosen one is chosen and all grows silent for the once-in-a-lifetime-literally phenomenon and once they finally touch and all is revealed and all has reached it's point and everything changes once the fire nation attacks and starts to reverse back to the beginning as the fire nation reverses back into formation back into their barracks back to the drill camp back to home back to school back to childhood back in the womb and back into their past life until it reaches the beginning and another simulation of the world starts and the first chosen one is now chosen and the stars reverse into a mathematically correct position and in 20 more minutes the video ends

The buildup from 9:20 is just transcendent. Omg again @ 19:00 I think im on the spectrum

I don’t know why KZfaq keeps recommending these metronome videos to me but I’m very glad

This is much better than waiting for that old dvd screen saver to hit the corner of the screen

i love how at 0:20 it forms a major chord that just descends

Every now and then I'll catch glimpses of divine geometry represented in the dots. There's a beautiful mathematical quality to this, I don't tend to use the like button but this has absolutely earned it.

19:25 to 20:10 is INSANE. The timing

The sound is oddly reminiscent of the sound used in sorting algorithm videos, including the satisfying "flick up" of the final check. And I'm loving it. I'd love to hear this sound profile used in a few more experiments.

It's actually synced with time: Primary events at 00:00 and 40:00 Secondary at 20:00 Treitary at 10:00 and 30:00 Quaternary at 5:00 15:00 25:00 35:00 and so on :)

I can't imagine how insanely mind-blowing these videos would be on a massive screen with surround, while "under substances". Edit: thanks for the 1000 likes.

1:04 Looks like the old Aperture Science logo

0:18 4 leaf 0:28 three leaf x2 0:47 5 leaf 0:56 11 leaf ig 1:06 star 1:25 9 cornered star 1:43 11 star 35:58 cool 31:50 5 leaf 31:54 3 leaf looks like a logo 28:01 spiral like 20:00 small spiral 24:01 a spiral in a circle in a circle 20:09 2 leaf welcome!

This is a totally new kind of art that I love. DO it again but reverse the order of the note pitch, so the lowest notes are more frequent

This is what I imagine understanding the universe looks and sounds like Also, 4:00 is the greatest bass drop history’s ever witnessed

fr every time the slowest one hits its always so satisfying bc theres just a lineup

Oddly enough...I did, and will again, listen to all of it. I didn't think I would. This is something to behold.

I love that it never loses order but it looks so chaotic at the same time.

It's crazy that a video about dots that make a funny sound bouncing in a circle could both contain and comprehensively convey the meaning of life.

This is wonderful. Is anyone else picturing classic Super Mario games in their head as they listen to this?

If you stare dead center for the whole 40 minutes you win a free trip to the Matrix

The new boss spell card from the new Touhou game looks cool! I like the gimmick of it being the same 250 bullets the entire way through but still being different patterns!

Every time I see something like this my brain just goes ablaze trying to wrap itself around all these complex mathematical relationships and seemingly cosmic patterns that evolve, but I think this video in particular says a lot about the human psychology of comedy and comedic timing given that the bits where the sound builds and builds and builds, pauses for a brief moment, and then POPS as a bunch of the dots strike all at the same time literally make me laugh out loud more than most intentionally constructed jokes and memes I've ever seen Edit: Also challenge for Adam Neely: Play this polyrhythm in its entirety.

Absolutely amazing.

What so satisfying is that it’s keep touching the point at the middle forever

Will you ever release the code for these publicly? I think it would be neat to play around with some of the things you have

Every single one of these dots is going through its pattern at its own pace. Every one of them is in its own trajectory and that’s where it stays whether going fast or slow. They move in a straight line from the edge, inward through chaos, and out to the opposite edge. Every single one goes back and forth in a straight line, never changing speed nor leaving their path.

What a Wonderful Thing...Earth Soul Blues RocknRoll...

This video is just pure perfection.

Its interesting that u can see Cardiod, Nephriods and Other curves in these videos. A proof that this is related to math, nature and beauty of fractals We need to have these with more views spread it so the smart nerd here can explain it and have it popular lol.

It's absolutely amazing how it fluctuates between chaos and order, occasionally sending out this pulse that Echos through time repeating the same patterns in a different way

Why does this make me emotional?

Thank you for the noise. It calmed all of my tapeworms 😌👌 they get a little rambunctious every now and then

34:50 When the hero charges his most powerful attack and the villian says "haha, that tickles" and then time slowing down

I feel old to admit it, but these hip new polyrhythms are getting hard to groove to.

Who relates to finding just one of these videos and just watching more then successfully becoming a fan?

I absolutely love this so much I just wish this had a black background instead of a white one so I could fall asleep watching it without my eyes straining

all the moments when the slowest one hits the edge 2:30 7:30 12:30 17:30 22:30 27:30 32:30 37:30

mesmerizing! love aesthetic patterns emerging from low entropy starting conditions

Wow watching the shapes in the middle is mesmerizing

I love that I can hear the harmonic series in there

Alternate title: the ultra mega death laser is charging for 40 minutes but keeps failing

cant believe it takes 40 mins just for these to return to their original positions, crazy cool

The perfect heart at 0:04 :O

I like how it cycles through the odd numbers (flower pattern)forward and back to about the mid teens (when I can't notice it) then the even numbers the same way. 30:00 perfect!

This is like massage for my brain, but every once in a while I miss a heart beat. Although the 1/4 and 1/3 points were my favorite (as well as 2/3, 3/4, by symmetry), the 1/2 point was absolutely insane

I'd love to see a similar one where the colors are based on the different even and odd dots and their factors, so we can see the interactions between frequencies

this explains everything thank you

this feels so funky i love it

I find it fascinating that I had to return to the start of the video to remind myself we only hear the sounds when the balls touch the outside of the circle. I found myself getting tricked into thinking the balls made sounds when they crossed the center. Beautiful video

I’m not exactly sure what this demonstrates but boy am I glad that it exists

I love how you can see the harmonic cardioids at the beginning

2:25 is cool and also when the slowest one first hits

I am amazed that I can just sit here and watch the patterns evolve for 40 minutes and not get bored. It's fascinating!

16:39 this part is so good! i love how they all hit it at once

This is so special.

love to see all the resonances

"What genre of music do you listen to?" "It's complicated..."

31:24 best buildup to a breakdown

What’s wild is the *pop* comes from the scorches hitting the walls and not the inside that visually pops. They sync up visually and audibly still though. Very cool now that works out

Ok but imagine this being converted into a 3D pool of water

I've just spent 40 minutes of my life watching this. I now have a very cold cup of tea. Worth it

genuinely hypnotizing

It’s so cool how each dot is simply moving on a straight line😮

This feels like those Touhou spell cards where you can't do anything but dodge until time's up

I want it known that an ad broke me out of the cycle. The moment an ad popped up I returned to earth after being mesmerized

I'm pretty sure the mothership is calling me home. All jokes aside, mesmerized by this and most of the videos you make!

why am im so addicted to this guy's videos...

Captures the wonder of complexity emerging from simplicity better than anything I've seen in a while.

I’m not quite 3 minutes in and I could watch this all day. reminds me of a sorting algorithm in some ways

This is the best one.

the energy of this video is like those videos of a guy dipping a chicken nugget into a bucket of bbq sauce while also being covered in bbq sauce

3:13 opening chest on zelda

1:24 the clean, resounding, single doot here is very satisfying

I love these!!! Wow

When perfection is at its best it can ever be!!!!

2:30 is the point where every single ball has hit the wall at least once

4:59 the "dut" is so funny to me and idk why

2:29 made my brain tingle so hard dude.

recommended tab brings beauties sometimes, and this is one of them

I can feel the sound running through my spine
