I mean, yes? If we're looking at the universe, I'm sure there's more planets, moons and the like in orbit around a star than there is "man made balls on planet earth". :)
I think it's more likely an AI video, especially when they lift it at the end and hold it at different angles without noticeably changing the motion of the balls.
It's sad that nowadays one has to suspect AI for every pic and video, isn't it? But in this case one can see some of the balls move strangely when they are being put in, so I assume it's an actual thing with a magnet.
but I sure am tired of having to squint at every fucking video before I can determine if it was, in fact, produced by the giant theft engine that only makes dross
I didn't study math in particular, but in general I've always enjoyed learning practical uses for subjects more than straight theory. I wanna know how to use it.
The number “i” arises in nature all the time. It encodes rotations and oscillations and is a critical component to our most successful model of the natural world, quantum mechanics. It is unfortunate to have the name “imaginary number”. A more accurate name would be a "perpendicular number".

The motion isn't circular. The APPARENT motion is circular. It's an optical illusion.

I'll tell you where they're not...

I made one of these with a hand crank and sliding blocks in school like 20 years ago.
stronomer
There's definitely a magnet behind it...
Sensiblyinteresting
You can see on one of the ones as he puts it down it hits the magnet and shakes a lil into place

don't get it wet... /s

nah, balls just tend to infinitely slide once set in motion

infinitely != for a very long time

The ball that moves most closely along the x-axis or side to side, has a small 'glitch' when placed.

foreverinchains
There are magnets running back and forth inside the device to control the motion of the metal balls.
It's not AI, and you can order one of these online if you want.

Fuckin magnets; how do they work?

FFS not everything weird is AI.

That's just what an AI would say

You're right, I was wrong

That's a fancy trammel of Archimedes, also called an ellipsograph, that uses magnets instead of a hand crank.

Somewhere I have a trammel of Archimedes that says "Blarney Bullshit Grinder" on the bottom.

I was wondering how they got the timing so perfect, by hand.

and that continues at a fixed rate when tilted front to back.

If you watch the 8th ball getting placed you can see the magnet catch it.

Most math emerges from reality... but sometimes there are a lot of steps in between

My square root of a negative number would like to chat

The equation 0=x^2+1 is very real... so why cant it have a solution too?
