Not great at pool? Well maybe you're just playing on the wrong table. Forget about the rectangle thing and upgrade to an elliptical where the math is on your side.

Hi
Hi
15 year-old me- *I N T E R E S T I N G*
Behind the scene please sir😁
ok
MAIN POINT: In an ellipse, the ray that starts from one focal point, always reaches to he second focal point after reflection from the ellipse boundary
And also the ray's path is always same length.
Thankyou! This explanation is what I hoped I’d see in the video, not a DIY project I’d never do
I was going to comment it was an ellipse, but you beat me to it lol
Thank you numberphile
Your name explains a lot about your comment

@@kateesquero6738 exactly, you drag in your clip, and use a mask in the center of the circle so the new clip doesn’t show others than in there, and if you review the transition frame by frame, you’ll actually see the circle mask moving, as it takes quite a bit of time to make things perfect

Not hard to calculate where a perfect sphere will go when it bounces off the wall of a perfect circle... it always goes to the same spot.
@@awsomnessnoveiws It depens on where did the ball came from. In this case it isn't a circle but a ellipsis, which means that any ball coming from one of its focus (the white mark) will bounce and reach to the other (the hole itself). Thus if the ball doesn't come from that white dot it probably won't make it to the hole as we see at the end of the video. Also if it were a perfect circle, both of the focus would be at the same place and you would have to shoot the ball from the hole (don't ask me how).
@@gustavosantiago1543 analyzing pixels it's a near perfect circle, meaning as long as the middle of the hole and the white dot are in the same spot on opposite sides, no matter where you hit it on the sides it will rebound to the hole, it's simple geometry.
@@awsomnessnoveiws what do u mean analysing pixels? If it was a "perfect circle it would had one central point and a radius, but the way the curve was drawn on the wood with the two screws indicates that it's obviously not a circle
@@awsomnessnoveiws Maybe it will rebound to the hole, i don't know about that, but it wont do it in a satisfactory number of reflections (bounces) all the times. With an ellipse, the ball always find the hole bouncing one or no times which is very important as you want to prevent energy losses from the collisions that can make the ball stop.
To those who are wondering how did it always go in -
He made an ellipse with that wood,
And it is the property of ellipse that reflection of light (in this case ball) from one focus goes to another focus after striking boundary of ellipse.
Great Explanation 👏🏼👏🏼
Why elipse
Looks like a perfect circle not elongated
@@mitaskeledzija6269 Notice initially when he was marking down the perimeter he used two screws as the 'centers' (they're actually foci) and a loop of string to guide the pencil? That's how an ellipse is defined, that is the total distance of the perimeter from the two 'centers' (foci) is constant.
In a circle, you only have 1 center. (A circle is just an ellipse where the foci are at the same spot).
Subscribers needed.
Dude, honestly keep up your skills. This video was really fun to watch. I like how the last hand shot failed😭😭
It only failed because he started from the wrong spot. If he had started from the little mark he made, he wouldn't fail

@@NimsQuarlo they're not in the center, otherwise they'd be the same point. They're still off to the sides. The thing about a circle os that there are infinite foci pairs because of its infinite rotational symmetry

Oh oh, challenging me?
This works because of the properties of ellipses. They are defined by choosing two points, called the foci, and drawing the outer edge so that the sum of the distances from any point on the outer edge to the two foci is constant. That is, if you pick a point on the ellipse, the sum of the distances to the two foci is the same number. Due to this design, any projectile launched from one foci will bounce perfectly to arrive at the other foci. This is used in other applications also, such as lithotripsy (kidney stone breaking procedure) using the 3-dimensional version of this property.
the miss in the end was legendary, hahahha :D

@@signeCS its a joke
@@Mrtamps it's not?
For those of you not in the know, let me explain how it works. The secret is that the pool table is not a circle; it’s an ellipse (basically an oval). Ellipses have two foci with the unique property that the distance between them is the same as the sum of the distances between them and any singular point on the ellipse. What this guy did is he positioned the hole at one focus, and marked the location of the other with the little white dot.
If you strike too weak or too strong then the ball won't score, so not worth it at all
Me accidently missing my shots and it doesn't have enough power to reach the hole: "I thought I've finally found something I'm good at.."
Its easy to fail actually, just eat the ball.
Use of an ellipse , it reflects from focus to focus cool man
Finally somewhere it's helping
