Don't you just love it when you're just about to go to sleep, then you accidentally discover a new scientific phenomenon

@ahmadkhilfi2620

Whenever a lot of people are having a chat to the point where the room was so noisy and then suddenly everyone just stop talking to complete silence is someting that is mesmerising and scares me. It's like they/we unknowingly agree to stop talking at the same time

This channel is what the Discovery Channel was like to me when I was a child. I love how it brings life to "uninteresting" subjects.

I am a theoretical physicist, have thought about synchronization (resonance) for many years, and still I learned from this presentation.  Thank you.

@andrasfeszthammer9800

In Hungary, members of the audience purposely sync up the clapping to honor a great performance. We call it the "iron clap". After a while, it disintegrates into just random normal applause, but people will again try to sync up. It's fun and the performers love it.

@flibbertygibbette

There are nearly 7,500 comments so I can't imagine you'll see this, but something you might be interested in is that human hearts and breath will synchronize if two people with a close connection sit near each other and look at each other in the eyes for several minutes, or hold hands. The same happens if two people watch certain kinds of movies or listen to certain kinds of music together. It sounds very woo woo but it's true, there have been legit experiments and they will sync up, every time. Little is known about this kind of synchronization but it'd be cool to learn more about it.

There's this concept in philosophy of mind, called emergentism. What it essentially says is, that there are phenomena that arises in complex systems, owing not to the individual parts of the system or their properties, but rather the interaction between them and hence, can't be reduced to the individual parts. This can also be applied to consciousness in principle, where the proponents of emergentism argue that while our senses, on their own might not be conscious, the complex interaction between all of them, through brain, results in consciousness emerging as a phenomena, that we can't attribute to any physical process or any individual physical entities.

@sakshamkiroriwal3234

As a child I did observe that randomly people in group start walking in synchronization but could never reason it. This video was amazing tbh!

I am 75 years old and an engineer. Physics has been my favourite subject. We see physics all around us but most people do not observe and analyze. This video explained synchronisation so beautifully. I salute the makers of this video. Just loved it. 🙏

Some kid gets in trouble and everyone goes "ooooooooooh" at the same frequency

@2nd-place

I always wondered why audiences would start clapping together. I always figured it was the concerted effort of a group of people and people start copying to make a more deliberate clap, that I would consider to be a more enthusiastic clap for a great show. But maybe it only happens for great shows because people are clapping longer and therefore giving themselves time to synchronize? Interesting. I was always the weird kid paying attention to clapping when I was a kid. In church people often clap in sync with the music, and when I would try to clap out of sync, it was very difficult and I would keep trending towards synchronization, even though I was consciously objecting to it. This explains a lot! But I feel like it could be explored more deeply in relation to how this not only affects human psychology, but the effect of their behavior, such as analyzing economic market behavior.

@schlauhonk

at some point i was helping out at a day camp for a bunch of kids, and on the last day, when they caught the "bad guy" they started laughing at him, and after a short while they were all just synchronized. Hearing 60 or more kids chant "ha ha, ha ha" was one of the creepiest moments of my life lmao

@anteconfig5391

I love how some people actively force themselves to clap in unison while others just stop  like "whoa, somethings happening... should I be a part of this?"

@kummer45

This is how you make school interesting again. Videos like these SHOULD be the norm in our high schools.

@stevetassie656

Order from chaos... remember when we were in school, and the teacher would leave the room and everyone would start talking? If she was gone long enough, there would come a point when as if by magic everyone would take a breath at the same time, and the room would be silent for a second.
Synchronicity!!

@emmetthowell899

I just realized I’ve experienced synchronization with clapping. My high school did a thing at lunch where one table would start randomly clapping and others would join in until the entire lunch room was clapping. One time it got a lot louder suddenly and I figured it was just my weird hearing but I think it was synchronicity especially because we had strong coupling. My school had a bunch of groups strongly opposing each other (mostly divided by political views) but one thing that could bring all the people together was the clapping, even the most reserved groups would get in on it. Some teachers hated it cause the noise and others liked it because it was nice seeing all the students doing something collaboratively
