I Simulated Collisions to Compute π (And It Actually Works)

Описание: I simulated a simple system of collisions… and somehow, it reveals the digits of π.

No formulas. No direct calculation of π.
Just two blocks, a wall, and perfectly elastic collisions.

As the simulation runs, something surprising happens:
the total number of collisions begins to encode π — digit by digit.

And the more we scale the mass of the right block,
the deeper into π we go.

If this video gets 200 comments and 500 likes,
I’ll release the optimized version so you can run it yourself
and push this to even more digits of π.

00:00 Intro
00:21 Digit = 1
00:40 Digit = 2
01:01 Digit = 3
01:21 Digit = 4
02:02 Digit = 5
02:50 Digit = 6
03:44 Digit = 7
04:45 Digit = 8 & Outro

💡 Why this works:
• The system is fully deterministic
• No randomness, no approximations
• Each increase in mass ratio increases precision
• Collision count → digits of π

This isn’t estimating π — it’s revealing it through physics.

👀 Watch closely:
As the scale increases, the pattern becomes clearer…
and the precision improves.

💬 Let me know in the comments:
• Should I push this to 10+ digits?
• Real-time vs accelerated version?
• GPU-optimized simulation?
