Michael got weirder in direct response to being called weird
Isn't he amazing
That's my immediate reaction as well. I'll show you weird.
When you read that is sounds kinda creepy.
And that self-aware comment is meta (self-referential). Behold the trifecta of TH-cam comments. I win.

Very relaxing to me.
It actually was raining on the day this video was made 😂
Why do you say it was an overlay? It has been raining a lot lately.
@@happysmash27 , @markysharky03 what is meant is that they find it relaxing and would love to hear rain sounds in every video.

Michael officially lost the password and key combination for Vsauce.
lmfao
Lol
it was probably the first 30 digits of pi or something
actually its "mindfield" but he doesn't know that
I believe he has a contract with TH-cam Red to only publish premium content under the Vsauce account
All Michael has to do is change"Dong" into "Vsauce", say "Hey Vsauce, Micheal here" on every video, and add the vsauce music, and all my problems will be solved.
he mustve forgot the password to vsauce
I like the distinction, dong is for shorter videos that don't have as much brain content like this video.
Yeah, that's how he explained it but except for mindfield episodes, he doesn't upload anymore on Vsauce, i'm a bit dissapointed but we still get some content
The Vsauce logo is at the end of the video just before Curiosity Box
The point right after 2:56 to 3:02 needed some Vsauce music

Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?
Michael: Actually at every moment the part of my tire touching the ground was motionless.
Officer: Ah, well the top of your tire was moving twice the speed of your car. I'm going to need you to step out of the vehicle, your license is being suspended for driving recklessly.
Michael: or was it? **vsauce music starts playing and the cop's breathing heavily**
Lol
When Officer knows Physics:
"The top of your tire was moving at 200 mph"
I want girls to look at me like Michael looks at tires.
We all have our dreams my friend.
Man, Micheal's intros have gone from him enthusiastically saying "hey vsauce Michael here" to us watching him say dad jokes while yawking

And it’s magical! 💫
I like the rain sound on the background. Its like when you were at middle school in the middle of class, daydreaming on a rainy gloomy day.
You can see this effect on tank tracks. The tracks on the bottom will be stationary as the tank moves over them.

Imagine not
Let us thank our lord and savior VSauce for this video, amen.
Imagine stealing a comment idea from an old dong video.
The line between DONG and VSauce is blurry. Or is it?
A tank tread can better illustrate this as the entire bottom is "motionless", whereas the top is "twice as fast".
Rob Spiess motionless = 0mph
twice as fast as that??? still 0mph
@@iBoolGuy The top will have double the speed of the centre of the wheel or the vehicle relative to the surface it's going on
+iBoolGuy twice as fast as the vehicle relative to the ground
@@iBoolGuy you troll?
@@saudsanchez and I quote:
" as the entire bottom is "motionless", whereas the top is "twice as fast". "
He literally compared the bottom, and the top of the chain wheel of a tank, comparing them he described, the top being twice as fast as the bottom, which he also described and said, is motionless.
Now I'm not trolling, but I think he is.
I think I understand what's he trying to say I'm not sure, but maybe he's the one trolling or, mistaken the description.
Last time I got caught speeding, I told this to the police officer and absolutely blew his mind.
Prison isn't that fun.
I’ve been noticing this effect since 1st or 2nd grade, and never knew there was a word for this. Thank you, Michael, for this.
The best part about LA is that rain is so rare that you can pinpoint when something rainy was filmed (this was most likely filmed yesterday).
And where I live it was -10F when this was filmed. Great
The low deserts of the southwest are like that. I live in AZ. Rain is not as common...and usually becomes a deluge, even if in short bursts.
You should have shown footage of tank treads to get an easy visualization of the bottom contact point being motionless, since the bottom contact point is really long.
Smart
I think when Michael reads this comment he'll bite his nails and question his life choices. He may be a cool meme-y guy at first sight, but on the inside, he's a perfectionist, and not using the clearest visualization will most likely bother him - a lot.
And the same with walking/running. The legs are flat and stationary on the ground (albeit, one at a time). Meaning one leg will look blurrier than the other.
Nice. I was thinking about how to explain it clearly should the topic come up in conversation and this will help.
he should use a boat, it's motionless, because it is not moving on ground, so it doesn't make contact with the road, and therefore be motionless
*ME* : "You can't seduce me this time Michael Stevens
Michael: 1:15
When a wheel goes fast why does it look like it spins the other way it really does?
It moves faster than your eyes can actually properly see. Basically, think of like a screen that refreshes at 60hz. Your eyes are kinda the same where they can only see so much movement per time frame and it moves a little faster so i just looks like it moved backwards when your brain pieces it together
The next spoke gets in the spot behind where the first one was in the previous position before your brain or the camera shutter can register the next image.

Thank you, Michael & crew for making videos that remain interesting throughout their duration.
i actually learned about the part of this effect where the bottom of the wheel doesnt move at all from the animated disney movie The Rescuers: Down Under. they had a scene where they were all on a moving tank tread, sometimes standing on the top, and sometimes sitting between treads motionless on the ground, and as a kid i learned a neat fundamental physics lesson that the wheels contact with the ground is motionless, pretty neat stuff! great vid michael!!!

The comic sans don't at 3:07 seems like a nice subtle shout out to one of your older vsauce videos and I'm so here for it
While studying rotational dynamics we were told that the point in contact / leaving the surface of the road of a rotating and translating wheel had no velocity at that instant. But this video helped me visualise it and gave me an intuitive understanding of this phenomenon.
Thank you Michael.
You must be that guy from electronics engineering department 🤔
...very cool.
Indians
look at any tank (tracked). The bottom of the tracks once in contact with the ground.... are completely stationary
It is impossible for any point on a rotating wheel to have velocity since direction is always changing.
A video of idubbbz getting pulled over for speeding and a video where Michael explains how to be more annoying when you get pulled over for speeding were uploaded mere hours apart.
Hey, that's pretty coincidental.
I feel like the heavy rain just added to the intensity of this knowledge being crammed into our heads

Perfect timing Michael. I was watching this while driving and got a chance to see this effect first hand on the wheels of my car!
I just love the random little things Michael just throws in
Watch this effect in action during the tripping-out scene in The Big Lebowski. He looks out the hole in a rolling bowling ball and sees the world outside speeding up, then slowing down (to a stop) then speeding up again. I always thought this was a production error until I took physics.
Oh wow yeah thanks man
I love this new "hey vsauce Michael here" with yawning
Man do you understand how ready I am for my friends to ask me these questions, even subtlely mention it: just subtlely...
I have always wondered about this exact effect but now it makes perfect sense.
0:34 Is when some random guy ran behind the camera
It's Jake for sure xD
@@robotraider Nice to see him use his legs.
It's HowTo Basic.
its obviously idubbbz.
Looked like Jake
Can you please do a video on why when a tire moves quickly it looks like it's moving backwards? Cause I'm really fascinated by that.
Edit: I mean in real life. Like when you look at a wheel on a car thags going beside you. I know why it happens on camera. I wanted him to do a video of why it happens in real life. Sorry for the confusion. :)
Agreed! Or with helicopter blades appear to slow down and then start spinning in the opposite direction.
This is in Veritasium Channel Already
@@prof.h.parker1213 do you have a link or name to that video, I cant find it
I wanna know that too.
Rolling Shudder. Explained by SmarterEveryDay and why cameras see the way they do. As for your eyes, I'm not certain, but you can pretend that you see continuous motion in a certain frame rate. Eyes see constantly, but your brain can only process the data so fast. Anyway, wheels spinning forward and backward as they actually get faster is just a product of this phenomenon. If a sensor takes a full image at a time rather than scanning, then you get positional change rather than warping.
th-cam.com/video/dNVtMmLlnoE/w-d-xo.html
Never thought about this effect before, that I can remember, but it immediately made sense when you brought it up. What a great sensation: that "huh, that's weird-- well, I guess it's not really weird, is it?"
Nice video! Also good that there was no mention of The Box!

This comment was too far down for my liking. Have an upvote.
Have you guys ever seen a wheel spin so fast it seems to actually spin the other way? I.e start spinning a wheel, eventually it will seem to start spinning the other way
Was thinking about this too! Wanted to check the comments before asking and I found yours hahaha wonder if there's an explanation for that

@Sassy The Sasquatch It is not at all like the rolling shutter, it is much more like the global shutter.
Also it happens rarely in the sunlight, but happens more often when the light comes from the 50/60 Hz lamps.

THE SANDWICH ONE WTF I'M AMAZED
edit: thx for like likes mates
yess it's Michael again
what about that phenomenon where once a wheel turns fast enough it seems to slow and reverse direction yet it still moves forward
Edit: also having just watched a video called "How not to talk yourself into a ticket" that advice to tell the cop is the complete opposite of what is in your good interest
That's what I was hoping this video was going to be about
@@StokeleyZ I see car wheels do this with my own eyes
Another comment asked this question and someone provided the answer, so I'll paraphrase here. When the wheel speeds up, it gets closer and closer to the maximum speed your brain can process the information from your eyes, eventually surpassing it and creating the appearance of reversal. It's basically the same thing that happens if you exceed a screen's refresh rate. If a screen has a 60Hz refresh rate, that means it can process up to 60 frames per second, and anything above that will cause distortion such as screen tearing (which is what VSYNC is for, capping graphical FPS at 60Hz or whatever matches the same rate as your screen). Our eyes essentially have a maximum FPS and anything faster will have a slight delay, causing them to be processed in reverse. Imagine one of those old fashioned flipbook animations. Flipping front to back makes the animation move forward, but flipping the pages backwards makes it play in reverse. That's the effect caused when your brain lags behind. The accelerating wheel appears to slow down then momentarily freeze as the FPS matches the same speed as our brain, then begins "playing" in reverse. You can often see this same effect with old reel film animations. The film reel slows down and appears to play in reverse for a moment! ;)
@@doctor_owl Oh my, that's a lot of information. Good to know
Basically a wheel spinning 9/10th of the way forward between each mental “frame” looks like it’s just spinning 1/10th of the way backwards each time
This effect is particularly mesmerizing on vehicles that run on tracks, like bulldozers. When moving, half of the track appears completely motionless while the other half is traveling quickly.
The rolling sandwich killed me😂😶
i tried watching at the wheels of other cars while driving and i almost had an accident.
and as always, thanks for watching
I yawned JUST as the video began and I was shook.
I love the background rain seriously
Walking back to my TARDIS I’ve seen enough.
Remember people, drive safely and pay attention to the road
But how will I observe the spoke blur effect?
@@Moon_Jam08 when you're not driving, start sharing your car, and take turns driving and observing the spokes blur effect. Then you can learn, get to the destination and as a bonus you save the environment.
And wear your seatbelt
Rain sound combined with Micheal's voice is just soothing.
also "our eyes can only see in 30 fps"
Nice depth of field you got going there, it really spoke to me (and as a result, so did the spokes on that wheel)
Depth of field is interesting to me because without parallax, we wouldn't have it
The morale of the video
*Be annoying to police officers giving you speeding tickets*
The morale of this story is good and happy; the moral of this tale is never trust advice on the internet.
The rain is a small obstacle for Micheal, nothing can stop his telepathic powers from getting into our heads
I missed the: "or is it?" *vsauce music plays* moment
yes
Thank you Michael Stevens for this information!!!
