Apr 26 at 1:21 comment added evaristegd @ScottMorrison , your link to Terry Tao's post is not working anymore. It now redirects to a Workspace blog post unrelated to math.
Sep 15, 2023 at 18:08 comment added Michael F The effect is real, but you do realize that the second video obviously is CGI?

Mar 11, 2021 at 3:23 comment added KConrad The video at your 2nd ("more striking") link is unavailable. A message says the video is now being blocked in my country (USA) on copyright grounds.

Oct 3, 2019 at 15:46 comment added user21349 Marcos Cossarini's answer is IMO more elegant and far more readable and transparent than the accepted answer. I would urge people to upvote it.

Nov 27, 2011 at 21:04 comment added Kim Morrison Terry Tao just wrote about this on google plus: plus.google.com/114134834346472219368/posts/e3GLg4Ki4dj
Nov 27, 2011 at 19:34 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd I'm already happier with the improved capitalization and the youtube address removed from the title.

Nov 27, 2011 at 17:04 comment added KConrad That this is an instability effect is already noted in the second comment to the second video. (Feed into Google translate if you don't know Russian.)

Nov 27, 2011 at 12:21 comment added Suvrit I'm waiting for someone to write out a nice, sorta self-sufficient answer explaining this wonderful phenomenon!
Nov 27, 2011 at 9:01 comment added Alexander Chervov Thanks Theo for kind words and advice ! What would you suggest ? I think that if I would see such title, than I would also think like you, but nevertheless I would open the question... But it may be a matter of person's spirit, may be others do not think like me and more "quite" title is more appropriate... What do You think ? Actually such thing always bothers when I am writting a paper, I am trying to put titles and section titles to be informative as much as I can... But I know that some colleagues prefer more "quite" (from my point more "dull") words..
Nov 27, 2011 at 6:50 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd I think this question is a great one. Can I ask you to think about revising the title and introduction? When I skimmed over recent questions, on the first pass I thought this was spam — links in the title, a challenge to explain some physics, etc all trigger "likely spam" in my mind.
