༄ GRAVITY ࿐

So proud to be part of this :)

holy album art generator

youtube compression really doing a number on this one

Me, knowing nothing about rendering and little about physics: hmmm, pretty light show

"I learned some CUDA" My guy, do not sell yourself short. I can only imagine the kind of parallel processing it took to get images at that resolution animating like that. This is super impressive work, and you should be really proud of it! Definitely earned a sub from me.

saw this in my sub box and was like WHAT?? ISNT THIS THE CONNECT FOUR CHANNEL?? super cool vid though i love fractals

Honestly some of the best visualisations I've seen

HERE I WAS THINKING THIS WOULD BE A MUSIC VIDEO 😭 Unexpected math jumpscare aside, really informitive video. (The title and the tumbnail combined really makes it look like it is gonna be some crazy experimental music like Frums lol)

This reminds me of the much older video about a similarly chaotic fractal emerging when tracking where a dropped ball goes inside a circle. Very clean visuals!

I’m familiar with fractal patterns like this based off of a magnetic pendulum model. I’ve never seen the fractals update dynamically like this before. Very cool.

Cool! I like how it looks as if it is rotating as you adjust the parameters. It's interesting to think about this as a 2D slice of a 4D state space (px, py, vx, vy where p is position and v is velocity), at vx = vy = 0. It would be cool to see a 3D slice scanning through the 4D space, you would then be able to see how the blobs of colour are all interconnected in a higher dimension.

youtube compression did not like that

I've worked on something like this for my computer science class once! Everyone had to draw a fractal, and I decided to come up with one involving gravity just like yours. Each pixel would represent a specific point's velocity/position around a singularity. I've played around with the configuration and got some pretty cool results; I either get a comet trail or a tie dye mess. I submitted a few photos on an assignment and got bonus points from my teacher!

This reminds me of the Japanese art of suminagashi. So beautiful!

Me when cool video from cool YouTuber

Great video! 2:55 afaik this is usually formalized by establishing a topology in the space of trajectories, where two trajectories belong to the same "region" if and only if one can be continuously transformed into the other while avoiding "bad" configurations (e.g. critical points or degenerate states)

For the disjointed colors: A particle within a disjointed color must fall into the gravitational pull of the point who's color completely surrounds the disjointed color. I believe this is due to the fact that a particle, in order to reach its destination, must move through or close to areas where the encompassing color has strong forces. There is no way for the particle to get to its destination without doing so, which is evident by the coloration. I believe that this only holds true for properly disjointed colors (one color being entirely surrounded by on other color) Edit: I noticed a more generalized relation. The colored regions in which the path goes through shows you what points the particle will orbit during its journey. If the path only crosses into two different colors, it will only orbit those points. I'm not completely sure, but it looks like the path also somewhat defines the order in which the particle will orbit the colored points.

literally the coolest thing ive ever seen ill be waiting for someone to add a physical background to this video one day

awesome design for the visuals, audio, and everything!!

Woahhhhhh, never heard of swap tube before. Thanks for introducing me to it! I'm definitely going to try to implement this into my future videos (especially if I end up trying to learn CUDA). Great video btw :)
