wow. newton’s cradle!
you are even more of a nerd than I am
great concept, though i think the shirt looks a little bit too light-weighted, since for newtons cradle to work as expected, all the balls, shirts, heads and labels ought to have the same mass. the version with the stiff shirt seems physically more convincing, since the ’soft shirt’ is not amenable to elastic collision
on the other hand using the soft shirt is more funny
it’s kind of making fun of natural laws. and ridiculing natural laws is the kind of humour that is universally understood. just think about slapstick humour or clowns making fun of gravity, garden rake physics and so on. hehe
anyways, I love your physical interpretation of spreadshirt as spreading momentum and energy… you might want to exchange the positions of the head and the shirt, though.
I think the head is the first mover in this case. but this might be a chicken-and-egg kind of problem, at least if the cradle is some kind of perpetuum mobile…
Thanks shirtnerd for really thinking into this one! I think its nice to have a lightweight shirt since it should show the easiness of your own label. Funny thing with your chicken-and-egg concern, I did not think it that way but for the message I would say this way is the best. Thanks!
