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."
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.
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.
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.
@@Yentzieimperceptible? No.That's WAYYY too much of an underestimation..electron microscopes can't see how minuscle it would have turned. IN DECILLONS OF YEARS,IT WOULDN'T MOVE 1 PLANCK LENGTH! the universe would quite literally not have enough graphics to move it. More like impeceptible at the scale of quantum foam!
Feels like the Lego man sitting there is experiencing some mythological torture. He will be free after he has rotated once, and has to watch the quickly rotating gears in front of him while the ones behind him are barely moving at all.
If it could be preserved it'd outlast the heat death of the universe without even turning a single time. Turning lego into a demonstration of the immensity of infinity, it's frightening in a way.
@@duffman18if the universe ends in the first place, for that we are not even sure of, all we know is that a googol may be huge, but infinity is bigger
You also have to worry about radioactive decay. Everything above iron is slightly radioactive at this time scale, so you can forget making it out of a nobel metal like gold or platinum. So either your gears are going to rust and corrode or they'll decay radioactively before the angel makes a full turn!
@@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.
FUN FACT: If this machine was turned on at the birth of the universe 14 billion years ago, that lego angel still wouldn't even have turned 1% of 1 degree.
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!'
Here's a more sobering thought. This doesn't seem like a very high power device, right? Yet the energy required to run it for that amount of time is vastly more than the entire mass-energy of the observable universe as it is right now. That's if you could catch every galaxy you can see and use it for fuel to run this machine. It would only last 10^60 years or so.
@@The_man_himself_67 The planck length is the shortest distance our theories can meaningfully describe events over. It does not necessitate that the universe is inherently discrete in nature. Obviously some parts are, such as quantum energy levels, but not all of it.

This is easy. Let's say the motor is 100 watts, that's 2.4 kWh per day, about 876 kWh per year, let's round it to 1000 kWh per year, at 15-16 USD cents ($ 0.16) equals $160 per year. The motor will work for 5.2434 x10^91 years. That's $8.38944 x 10^93, rounded, approximately about 8.4 billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion dollars.

@@ManoloElCerdo, energy isn’t lost, it’s just transferred. The electric energy from the motor will transfer into kinetic which will turn all the gears.

The slack/lash in the system won't even be gone until the universe as we perceive it will have long ended. Even 100 Billion years is only 10^11 years - a humanly unnoticeable fraction of the time needed to turn the last gear once!
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
@@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

I saw a simular contraption, a huge reduction gear, except the final gear was cast in concrete to display that it ain't gonna move in our lifetime, or even the earth's lifetime.
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.

Fun fact: at a brisk pace of 4 miles per hour, a person could walk from one end of the universe to the other 10^78 times before that lego dude turned once.
Simple. I heard once a light takes a second to go around earth, and earth seems about 10,000 kilometers, so that's 4 zeroes. A year has a thousand hour, probably and a hour has a thousand seconds. So that's 4+3+3=10 zeroes in the number of hours to walk a light year. And the universe is like ten billion years old, so ten billion, or 8 zeroes light years across. 100 zeroes in a googl - 10 - 8 = 82. Oh wait, that's not right. Forgot to convert from seconds to hours(subtract three more zeroes) 100-10-8-3 = 79 10^79 is pretty darn close to 10^78.
I bet this guy actually looked up the size of the observable universe. It's ten times larger, 93 billion light years across, even though light has only had 7.9 billion light years to cross that distance, since it's been expanding so much. So he had one more zero to subtract than I did. From that i conclude that no matter how far you walked, you would never cross the universe even once because in the time it takes to walk one light year, the pace of universal expansion will have accelerated so much that the edge of the visible universe, the cosmic background radiation, will have faded away, since even at the speed of light, its light will never reach our walker, and even if he sped up to the speed of light at that point himself, he would never catch up to it. See what happens when you actually google accurate numbers? Now nobody can have nice things. Cheater.

You also have to worry about radioactive decay. Everything above iron is slightly radioactive at this time scale, so you can forget making it out of a nobel metal like gold or platinum. So either your gears are going to rust and corrode or they'll decay radioactively before the angel makes a full turn!
Just to think that those lego pieces at the end, while constantly moving, are decaying far faster than they are moving.
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.

Here's a more sobering thought. This doesn't seem like a very high power device, right? Yet the energy required to run it for that amount of time is vastly more than the entire mass-energy of the observable universe as it is right now. That's if you could catch every galaxy you can see and use it for fuel to run this machine. It would only last 10^60 years or so.

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.

no, because of relativity :)
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.

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

Please tell me how you did this calculation?
@@visuallyamazing6440 i’m also interested
The observable universe*
Simple. I heard once a light takes a second to go around earth, and earth seems about 10,000 kilometers, so that's 4 zeroes. A year has a thousand hour, probably and a hour has a thousand seconds. So that's 4+3+3=10 zeroes in the number of hours to walk a light year. And the universe is like ten billion years old, so ten billion, or 8 zeroes light years across. 100 zeroes in a googl - 10 - 8 = 82.
Oh wait, that's not right.
Forgot to convert from seconds to hours(subtract three more zeroes) 100-10-8-3 = 79
10^79 is pretty darn close to
10^78.
I bet this guy actually looked up the size of the observable universe. It's ten times larger, 93 billion light years across, even though light has only had 7.9 billion light years to cross that distance, since it's been expanding so much.
So he had one more zero to subtract than I did.
From that i conclude that no matter how far you walked, you would never cross the universe even once because in the time it takes to walk one light year, the pace of universal expansion will have accelerated so much that the edge of the visible universe, the cosmic background radiation, will have faded away, since even at the speed of light, its light will never reach our walker, and even if he sped up to the speed of light at that point himself, he would never catch up to it.
