This was inspired by Daniel de Bruin's "universe's biggest gear reduction":
• The universe's biggest...
The finished gear ratio:
10341796308487334800992832804222885104773611498499997696000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000:1
or 1.0342e100:1
or 1.034 GOOGOL:1
Rotation time for the last gear:
52433879932503535381614991275498187972589101825233846406570841889117043121149897330595482546 years
or 5.2434e91 years
Formula for the gear ratio:
24/8 * 40/8 * 40/8 * 40/8 * 60/1 * 12/1 * 168/1 * (140 / 8 + 1) * 141 * 20/12 * (40/8)^20 * 20/12 * (24/1)^20 * 56/16 * (36/1)^10 * (40/1)^18 * 15/9 * 56/1

I expect the middle part of the drive train would rip itself apart from rotating so quickly.
That's if the gears withstand the forces acting on the linking teeth. Those would probably break off much closer in the chain.
This is like some ancient, epic machination that Leonardo da Vinci would conceptualize/build, but never live to see it do the thing.
I don't think the universe could see it spin even just once.
It’s such an absurdly long time that if it had started spinning at the beginning of the universe then when the sun dies it would have spun an imperceptible amount.
Because he had no Lego.

How many years is that
For torturing you can say to a person sit here until this turns
Sobering thought - it would take approximately 4.092 x 10^89 years just to take up all the gear slack in the system.
That's what I was thinking. But once backlash is taken up, in theory the little man starts to move. But in a discrete quantum universe, how does that work if his atoms can only move by the Planck length. 'Fascinating Captain!'
@@The_man_himself_67 And here I was wondering whether it would complete a rotation before the heat death of the universe.
What fascinates me most about this kind of thing is how something perfectly calculated, where you know exactly how it's going to move, will never be seen in practice. Think about the resulting torque, what something like that could move, or if the system were unbreakable, and an infinite force could make the last piece turn, how insanely fast the first gear would turn. Just as we know the laws of physics, perhaps we could witness events that rip it apart if they happened. Really powerful video, thank you.
It would have enough speed to rip apart the entire galaxy we live in, and form a black hole.
nothing a bit of lard can't fix.
let’s be real bro, the last wheel won’t move a bit
23.000
I'd actually like to see that Haha but it wouldn't work. Imagine 37 gears on a push bike and trying to pedal going up hill from a stand still....
Now imagine that times 100000000000000
Also it would take the motor to start turning from the gear ratio, it’s be too much for it to turn
It wouldn't work with the worm gears
Chris W how would it not work with them, just curious

MysticMarbles lol yes
Yeah i felt that too
I thought he was making some type of clock
Bro i thought it was a clock too
Where he get these Lego peices
Fun fact: even if the first gear was spinning for literally forever the last gear will never spin because the heat death to the universe will occur and even if it occured and survived it'll still have to take another
The most disturbing part about this is that the final gear is still moving but like, it’s just
Its probably not moving at all due to the give in materials
It will not move, now or never.
The plastic material would decompose before the wheel had a chance to turn 1 degree.

Such a cool build. I wonder if the last gear is actually moving. Even if we ignore stuff like the legos themselves warping/decaying, even idealized pieces, I wonder if you run into Planck length stuff or other quantum considerations that make “movement” meaningless at that scale.
It's not. It'll take longer than the remaining lifespan of the Sun for all the slack in the gears to be taken up and for everything to start turning.
@@KingdaToro taking a page from the 52 factorial website-
considering *only* the time it'd take for the gears to turn, and disregarding outside forces/decay, I don't think it's that far-fetched to say it might be possible to figure out
Good question. If there was zero give or gap between the gears, how long would it take the final gear to rotate just a single Planck length
It's due to the inherent inefficiency that exists in any closed system. The motor powering this is can't impart enough energy to transfer anywhere remotely close to the last gear. There's a loss of energy every time you transfer energy to another object so each gear down the line will get less energy than what it took to spin the gear previous to it.
Given what I understand you probably couldn't get close enough to spin the last gear even if you had the power of an entire nuclear facility behind you. You're certainly not going to find that much energy on Earth no matter how many Hadron colliders you build. I think there's probably some energy threshold in play where we're MAYBE talking supernova levels of energy output could do it but it's unknowable.

If you were to attach a very very very very very very long ruler to the Angel, how long would the ruler have to be to see movement at the end of it? Say snail’s pace?
For the end of the ruler to move at 1 millimeter per second, the stick would have to be 1.05e+72 light years long, which is larger than the observable universe
@@jackcaesar2596 To say it's merely bigger than the observable universe is really selling it short. Pun not intended.
@@jackcaesar2596 that's larger than 2 football fields!
@@LiliaSammer78 So, given that we know the gear reduction, we can say that 1.034 x 10^100 RPM will produce 1 rotation of the angel per minute. Let's start there!
There are approx 525600 minutes in a year, so 1 / 525600 = 1.90 x 10^-6 gives us the slower target RPM for the angel to make 1 rotation in a year.
Using that target RPM, we need to multiply it by the gear reduction to get the RPM of the motor: 1.97 x 10^94!!!!
For kicks, the diameter of the lego axle is 4.8mm. The motor's output shaft's surface speed at the farthest surface from the point of rotation (the end points of the cross axle) would be 4.94 x 10^90 m/s. The speed of light in a vacuum is approx 3 x 10^8 m/s. The surface speed of that poor axle must moving at 1.65 x 10^82 TIMES FASTER than the speed of light, just to rotate that angel one time per year xD
@@jackcaesar2596 In maths maybe, but in reality (this is an oxymoron) even an infinity long ruler won't be enough.
Once the build was complete and we see all the relevant maths, I thought, what could possibly take up another 2 min of video? Then, the epic montage!! That was just as impressive as the build!

@@Ren-xd4jr probably one of those heat death of the universe type of deal.
jakx2ob nope, too late, already claimed that one.
@@jakx2ob Literally, the heat death of the universe is defined as the amount of time for all things to break down and completely equal out evenly, like a lake of a pool returning to a smooth calm surface after someone jumps in, with the jump being the big bang in this analogy. Since the universe is so huge and there are so many things, guessing when "exactly" is the end is difficult so scientist just use a googol number of years as the date to mean "ehh, it must have happened by that point" and consider the universe as officially dead, one of the most famous practical usages of the number.
@@Michaelonyoutub Actually no, it just happens that galaxy-mass black wholes would decay on timescales of around 10^100 years. They don't know when, but they don't just guess "a really big number" (there's a lot more info on the wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe)

Just so he can grasp an understanding that the end of this mechanism will never until the end of time even get a chance to even slightly move. This is so incredible.
I'm kinda curious where exactly in that chain of gears does it stop moving at all because of all the dissipative forces. Would it be possible to approximate?
Thanks God !!! I was wondering if someone would write the smart point. Actually, that small engine, if this were real (which is not) very soon will stop working (less than 10 minutes).

Fun fact: he’ll take the contraption apart before the last gear moves
fun fact: you can actually go to sleep and dream about the last gear having a full spin. Wake up to realize it didn’t but now you believe in the holy architect who’s watching.
if something so small and unnoticeable as to be able to fit on a corner of a table can have an impact that lasts until the end of time, how much of an impact has the good you've done put into the world around you? a man on the opposite end of the world could theoretically have a great day because of a good interaction that you started 50 people prior. the Lego isn't a model of unimportance, it's a reminder that the smallest of actions can last quite literally forever, sorry if Im not making sense I just got back from a college party and I drank some punch that I didn't know was spiked until now.
You should use a motor that is 10 times faster so that the angel spin years would be reduced by an exponent of 1.

As of the writing of this comment (Nov 6th 2022), it has been 904 days since the publishing of this video (and not counting the editing time between):
The motor (375 rotations a minute) has spun around 488,160,000 times
The second hand (1 rotation every minute) has spun around 1,301,760 times
The minute hand (1 rotation every hour) has spun around 21,696 times
The hour hand (1 rotation every 12 hours) has spun around 1,808 times

Are they actually moving ? How much is the plank unit of distance?
@@magusperde365 I REALLY hope somebody replies to you, man!
@@magusperde365 That piece will rotate one time every 1.034*10^100 seconds. One Planck is equal to 10^-43 seconds. So no, for all intents and purposes, it is not moving if we accept that a Planck is the smallest division of time/space. Furthermore, there have only been 4.35*10^17 seconds since the big bang. This means that if you were to even start that rotation at the beginning of the big bang, it still would not have even rotated a little bit. Don't have time for the angular motion, but it's tiny, like less than a Planck.
@@magusperde365 I did the calculations: So 1 plank time is: 5,39*10^-44s. 1 plank distance is: 1,61*10^-35m. It takes 1,65*10^99s for the final gear to do a full rotation. Which means it will rotate 1,72*10^-140° during 1 plank time. Let's assume that the Lego gear piece has a diameter of 0,04m (40mm). When the gear rotates the circumference (i.e. the point furthest away from the center) moves the most, so we take that into account. So that means for the last gear to move just 1 plank distance you will have to wait 2,12*10^65s or 6,74*10^57 years. In other words it will stay stationary for 6,74*10^57 years.

Legends says that after a couple of universal ages, that Lego dis is still doing it's first complete spinning
This breaks my brain. I remember seeing this for the first time in a machine where the end point is embedded in concrete. The ratio was so massive, like in this one, that essentially it will never turn so they immobilized the far end for shock value. Watch the motion just disappear down the row of gears is logically painful. It's almost like physical super position: The end point is simultaneously rotating and stationary. You can imagine tension building, like the movement being hidden by an accumulation of potential energy, but in the Lego model it's just a freely spinning thing not effectively spinning. I feel like this shouldn't be physically possible, yet clearly it is, and you can see very simply how, yet it really attacks conventional intuition. It just swallows up all the energy you put in, nothing but motion and heat comes out, and it doesn't even destroy any information, but it seems like it would have to. Imagine trying to measure how many rotations have happened at the drive side by measuring the angle on the figure side. XD At what point would motion even be detectable or occur? Just mind blowing.
You're talking about the Big bang machine, right?

@@XtreeM_FaiL That's the one. I didn't think about relative ratios. I guess quantity has its own quality :)
Wife: Hey honey why is our electric bill higher?
Husband:....rotation
Lego is powered by batteries not electricity
i wonder whats in batteries that make it able to run devices that need electricity? totaly not electricity
DerpyNub No, batteries produce electricity out of chemical reactions.
So, the infinite rotation?
Noriaki Kakyoin i hate how i understand that reference of yours
Scary thought :
He can make it Longer.
Thats Purrreee Feeeaaarrr
Just one more 10:1 gear would make it so much longer lol
oh god! oh no! oh fuck! oh shit!
Thats what she said
he could make another one AND attach it to the end
Its shocking to think that the final cog probably wont rotate one tooth at most, even if it preserved perfectly, before it is destroyed by the death of the Earth.
We also wont see most of these cogs turn.
It reminds me of a piece of music that was meant to be drawn out extremely longer than it seemed it was meant to be, and some people took it to the extent of maximising the length of the piece on an automated organ. Some of the people who saw the start of the piece might not see more than 1 bar of the piece
Why cant we have nice things
You should put a buggy motor in the beginning of the reduction and see if the end of the reduction spins a bit faster
"Kevin, please take this away from the couch table!"
"But Mum! Only one rotation, please!"
"OK, but only one..."
I demand 10000000 souls for one rotation
One rotation is one bilion bilion bilion bilion bilion bilion of bilions of years thats more than age of the universe
fox foxy im pretty sure more than that. to be more exact, in the novemvigintillion of years.
@@sorcc0 yeah thats more sorry that is 100000⁴³²⁴ or more
fox foxy yes because we don’t use 10 to the (x) power in the case if we want a googol, not like we use 10 to the 100th, according to you, we use 10000000000 to the 10th power.
I didn’t want this to be taken as rude, just saying, and it’s technically not wrong, but most people just use 10 followed by their power to represent a large number like a googol, represented by 10 to the 100th. Sorry if it sounded mean, it just kinda annoyed me, anyways, back to my intergalactic conquest! I mean, being chancellor of the republic? errr, yeah, definitely not making the republic an empire, I wouldn’t do that.
You should add "landmarks" as you go down the gears. "This gear will rotate every 1000 years." "By the time this gear rotates once the sun will go red giant." "Before this gear finishes its first rotation, it's atoms will be ripped apart by the expansion of the universe."
More likely decay.
I actually did that and placed it in a comment back when the video came out. Ill paste them below:
By the time that:
-The grey gear (1:55) made 11 rotations: the Quatar 2022 football world cup will be held
-The yellow planetary wheel (3:12) made 1/8th a rotation: A person born when the machine was turned on will die after living a average 72-year life (world average)
-The 3rd large gear of the gear rack (3:56) made 2 rotations: A under-water vulcano near Hawaii will rise above the surface, creating a new Hawaii-an island
-The 7th large gear (4:01) made 3 rotations: The coast of California will collide with Alaska due to tectonic plates
-The 9th large gear (4:02) made 2.3 rotations: The Andromeda galaxy will crash into our Milky Way
-The 10th large gear (4:03) made 0.8 rotations: The sun explodes and forms a red-dwarf, engulfing earth
-The 12th large gear (4:07) made half a rotation: All the galaxies beyond our local group will have travelled beyond the cosmic light horizon. People living then will only be able to see a handfull of galaxies nearby. If our knowledge of the winder universe is lost by then, there will be no way for them to find out the universe is more than their local group.
-The 18th large gear (4:11) made 1/4th a rotation: The last stars are born. There is no more material in the universe left for new ones
-The 10th worm-wheel on the first set of worm-wheels(4:52) made 1 rotation: 90%-99% of all stars in the universe will have fallen into a black hole
-The 3rd worm-wheel on the 3rd set of worm-wheels(6:12) made 4 rotations: A black hole of 1 solar mass decays into subatomic particles by Hawking radiation
-The final gear (6:54) makes 1 rotation: The largest black hole ever observed dissipates by the emission of Hawking radiation
-The final gear makes 100 million rotations: The estimated largest black hole that could ever possibly form dissipates by the emission of Hawking radiation. There are no more sources of energy left in the universe, life becomes impossible.
Lol Wayne will learn to play a second note on guitar soon
What is he trying to do though? Move a galactic nucleus a Planck length to the left by this time the next age of the universe?
@@smokey04200420 What do you mean with "trying to do", haha. They're playing with Lego, it's fun to build stuff for the sake of making something.
a googol to 1 gear reduction is huge, the fastest spinning thing is a dumbbell shaped nanoparticle that can spin 300 billion rpm, and even with that speed it still takes 2x10^90 seconds or 6.33x10^82 years
I cannot grasp the concept of the final gear not moving for about 10^57 years (for one planck length) when everything theoretically should move, even a little bit. Like how does that work?
very little is moving, the small gaps between each thing adds up a lot and friction will stop it from ever work with that small of a moter as well. Also a planck lenght is the smallest possiable mesurment known to man. its 1.6x10^-35 this is a mesurement of time and a very long one at that. And plank time (the time it takes light to move one plank lenght in a vacume) is 5.39x10^-44.. Again, a very small number. 10^57 is a very huge number.
That feel when you create a system that lasts longer than the existence of the universe.
When the first rotation is complete, the protons in the gears are about to decay
When the first rotation is complete the sun will have exploded
The universe will go dark before 1 full rotation
Essentially this is a machine that will have most like consumed all the energy in the universe before a single rotation.

@@rj7250a this would technically have more torque than every engine ever made combined
This thing has enough torque to theoretically stop the earth from rotating...
@@jeremymcadam7400 could you explain?
@@jeremymcadam7400İ even think it has no torque because it will not even make a 1 degree without burning all fuels in Earth.
This reminds me of a SF story I once read where they tap into the infinite torque of a moving obelisk that rotates so slow they need a crazy gear reduction to make it fast enough to generate electricity
So my Question is ,
If the first gear teaths =8,
and the last gear is 56,
it will rotate once in 5.2×10 to the power of 9¹ years.
How many rotation will it take to rotate if the last gear was the first?
It's crazy to think that someone can use a children's construction toy in their living room to create a process that would take longer to complete than there is in all of eternity.
Except that eternity would contain an infinite amount of time by definition, right? So you could keep adding googols on top of each others and still not reach the end of eternity...
@@CrummyJoker When I said eternity, I was referring to the length of the universe's existence.
@@luckyc4t110 that's not eternity though... That's just all of time as far as we know.
@@CrummyJoker no one cares dude.
I like how that discussions are taken so seriously lol i love see it
Get a motor powerful enough to spin the other end and you've got yourself a lego time machine
Wait
If you tried spinning it with your hand, it wouldnt move at all?
@@XnoobSpeakable Nope, nothing would move
Xnoob Speakable you technically can, if everything was metal and you had a lever the length of your house to the power of 100
@@XnoobSpeakable Because of the wormgears nothing would move.
no, because of relativity :)
If you knew the exact radius of the gear hooked up to the motor you could calculate if it would have to spin faster than light to even turn the angel.
I want the plans for this so I can build it myself. It's a work of art!

Put the motor at the other end and see how fast the gear spins
Everyone: *talking about how long it will take, universe decay and resetting itself, entropy, etc*
Me: Imagine the torque at the end.
Ok, I did some math so the input torque is the torque of the motor, to get the output torque we need to multiply this by the gear ratio which is 1x10^100.
So we have:
LEGO Medium Motor torque: 40mNm = 0,04Nm
Gear ratio: 1x10^100 (rounded for the sake of simplicity)
The formula is:
IN torque x gear ratio = OUT torque
0,04Nm x 1x10^100 = 4,0^98Nm [400 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 Nm]
So we have 40???Nm... We are WAAAAAY beyond metric prefix [yotta is max (10^24)]
In comparison to "normal things":
5.7x10^91 times more torque than most powerful ICE [Wärtsilä RT-flex96C]
1.1x10^96 times more torque than average car ICE
I think you can see a pattern here... There is no way to compare this to "everyday" things... Still, it would take wayyyyy too long to move anything with this (even without backlash)
Yeah, it almost has as much torque as a 1.9 TDI
im wondering if we made one out of the hardest material known to man, could we do the impossible and finally break the godamn nokia phone?

I still wouldn't haha :D
*later* Oh shoot, I missed it. Better wait for the second full rotation.
With all that being done could build a clone in reverse and comnnect it so its end moves normally?
It’s incredible how complicated lego has become since I was a kid, I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford a system this big for my son when he gets old enough to play with them.. this set is probably worth a small fortune. 😅

Realistically, I don't think the gears turn after a certain point. Because even though there are very small gaps between them, with extremely low rotation speeds, closing these small gaps will take thousands, hundreds of thousands of years.
