That analogy between springs and roads was brilliant—never thought a traffic jam could be explained with such elegant physics!
@Wifies
The analogy of the roads to the contraction of the springs is insanely well done. What a crazy good way to explain the series/parallel in two completely different settings
@Dailydabster
We had access to watch Veritasium shows while I was locked up in state prison. We had a tablet that we can watch, educational videos, and so many of us got lost learning so much about science that it didn’t look to us as a chore it looked to us as entertainment. This channel got me through hard time, developed a love for science/technology, thank you Veritasium
@AMOLF-Official
Thank you so much for visiting AMOLF! 😁A big shout-out to Paul Ducarme and Bas Overvelde who appear around 14:30.
@HeisenbergFam
"it feels like it violates physics" "thats why its fun" The most physicist thing I've heard
@zacprunty
I don’t think the veritasium editing team gets enough credit. The visuals these guys put together are top notch.

In before the title changes 10 times. First title is: “This mechanism shrinks when pulled”.
@edwardkelly1262
"In principle it should be possible" is a sentence that both inspires but also one day drive me crazy.
@GergelyKnipl
An umbrella that folds in, instead of out, when a strong wind hits it, actually sounds very useful. It would prevent breaking it.
@motogoa
As an architect, I must say this opens up a whole new way of thinking about earthquake dampeners and windforce compensators in high-rise buildings. This is a game-changer in the choice of additives we use for the steel and concrete in the frames of skyscrapers, based on tension wave oscilation length. Seriously, this is like flying to the moon after parachuting!
@smartereveryday
What a neat mechanism. That's really fun!
@wolvetica
can we acknowledge steve mould and his demonstration of the spring and strings too? he did a brilliant demo
@cursor1245
If I will ever be part of a Veritasium survey I will just say the most counter intuitive answer.
@JTCF
Aha! Steve Mould prepared me for this!
@dixonstroi
This feels like the culmination of like 30% of Veritasium videos. If it also had laminar flow, an unsolved mathematics conjecture, and aerogel this might be the series finale.
@IanBeltranoficial
I didn't even realize they had thrown an ad in my face, I was so involved, I thought it was part of the video. Great job
@yodaiam1000
As a structural engineer I tried to do something similar with a moment frame structure that would have an internal brace frame with a gap element. When an earthquake caused resonance with a moment frame, it would engage the brace frame that was stiffer and change the natural resonance frequency of the building. No one was really interested when I suggested it but who knows, maybe someone else can make it work.

In Charlottesville VA many of us were making this argument regarding parkway proposals and increased traffic. We fought against it, and it came to pass that we were proven correct — traffic is worse now. I love this channel. It’s been exceptional for years now
@stevebook8134
When he showed the roads in the same setup as the springs I think my mind was blown
