Now try to explain the physics of pinkie pie swinging into the lake and at the last possible minute slows down and just eases into the water without a single splash.
That would have been awesome if I did a crowd surf, but the audience wasn't nearly as active as they could have been, whereas a rave would be more appropriate. Also, there was like a 6 foot gap between the audience and the stage. Sorry I didn't see you after the presentation, but I might come for the next EQLA in May.
Injustice found the first presentation and this one and I’m in awe. These were so fun to watch and I can’t believe someone did this. I wish there were more, I’m dying 😂
Awesome, pinkie pie is definitely a time lord XD By you calculations, she would have a final velocity of 7.68 m/s, but you would have to give time for her to decelerate, as she doesn't appear onscreen going at that speed. The original video was what converted me to being a brony by the way, when I was randomly looking up stuff on physics.
There's a problem with the Pinkie Pie one. You cannot use constant acceleration kinematics here because of the circular trajectory, which requires an acceleration which changes in direction. The problem is basically of centripetal acceleration and whether the ground and her own hooves could generate/withstand the acceleration. If we assume that she has the ability to generate the 12 m/s speed necessary to traverse the arc in the given time almost instantaneously, we get 116.12 m/s^2 accel
Imagine how how many calculations it would take to explain why she is able to do this... its doable to prove the actions in the show physically wrong, but since they do do these things, imagine how much explaining you have to do to explain how the thing they do can be done by human logic...
Sorry I didn't send this to you, I usually don't go on Facebook that much anymore. The presentation was at Equestria LA at the Anaheim Convention Center, and was just for fun. My major is technically mechanical engineering, but I'm hoping I can switch to computer science because I've sorta lost interest in engineering and classes aren't available. My brother was recording that (but I still see Oscar at Cal Poly). And I still like to take physics classes, and I just got a B in Elec. and Magnetism
Told ya you would do fine, everyone loved you. You didn't go crowed surfing but still awesome. Sadly I wasn't able to find ya after the presentation to tell you ya did awesome . :/
Of course, unless this is some super sticky snow whose coefficient of friction is much greater than 1, or their universe has g > 116.12 as opposed to our modest 9.8, this is not possible even assuming that her muscles can generate an impulse which shoots her off at 12 m/s in a short amount of time. On the other hand, given Pinkie's frequent fourth wall breaking, the more plausible explanation is that she has access to several normally inaccessible manifolds which identify seemingly distantpoints
As explained in joshscorcher’s review of "Feeling Pinkie Keen" all ponies possess in inherent magic within them. Earth ponies possess a more physical magic as well as a connection to the earth. This usually manifests in enhanced strength, speed and the ability to aid in the growth of plant life. Pinkie sense is an early warning system very similar to Spiderman’s spider sense, by being connected to the mana of the earth it allows her to have a form of precognition. Furthermore, after reading the fanfiction “Why am I Pinkie Pie” I theorize that by being able to sense the vibrations of mana it allows her to sense through the veils of reality, in short can sense alternate universes. And finally, after seeing said fanfiction and paying the videogame “zone of the enders” I theorize that Pinkie (and to a lesser extent other ponies) uses this sense to create a vector trap. A vector trap compresses and folds space in on itself to create a pocket-dimension in which objects can be stored and retrieved. Anything that is placed into a vector trap is effectively reduced to zero volume by the reference of objects outside the vector trap. In a similar method I believe she can use this ability to alter the dimensions of her body thereby allowing her to defy certain laws of physics. Bonus…………. Pinkie apparently has a semi- photographic memory
I agree completely, and you have a good idea with your vector trap, although I believe it's commonly called "Hammerspace". I've long felt that Pinkie Pie is the strongest magic user among the non-royalty, and it's nice to know I'm not alone.
#2: Flying around in circles is how the Pegasi generate magical energy to create the tornado. #3: Again, Pinkie Pie used her verisimulation powers. I should probably explain that verisimulation is the ability to make one's imagination a reality- best explanation for Pinkie I've heard.
Do you think possibly for the benefit of people who are really interested *cough cough* you could put what's on the screen in an annotation at the side?
Surprisingly, computer science requires more physics classes than mechanical engineering so I still have to take waves/thermodynamics. Are you still teaching in norcal?
For the first one, with Apple Bloom spinning the hula hoop on her tail: If you know even a bit about pony/horse anatomy, you would have noticed that horses don't actually have long tails, in fact, the "tail" is only very small, and the "long" appearance would just be hair... So Apple Bloom would be spinning it with hair. Just putting it out there, I know it's a cartoon and such ;) I love your work btw :D /)
17:45 - you could have used s = ut + 1/2 at^2 (constant acceleration equation) rather than taking the final velocity, although I can understand if that would have been too complicated for a short presentation
Loved the presentation but on your last explanation when you kept trying to stress how much of a stretch this was you should relax on that because you are ignoring the stretch you are putting on it by making Physics apply into MLP. But otherwise dude this is just amazing/
Hmm, none of my guesses u brought up. Might as well share them. Er, in regards to Pinkie Pie's "transporting". How it could be fixed: 1. The animators could've delayed the reappearing to give time for Pinkie to walk the circle. Time constraints don't matter cause she and Applejack are still talking at this time. 2. Pinkie's a cartoon character. Yeah I know they all are, but u should know that Pinkie is the most toon-ish with her antics, and the designers reserve most of the wacky jokes on her.
I actually didn't think of that, but even still, that would end up being an even less distance that she covered. And I'm glad my old video made you a brony!
I would say that if the prints that formed the circle represented ice skate marks instead of hoofprints. However, if she did skate instead of walk, it's possible there could have been an increase in acceleration.
Actually for pinkie have you thought of using the ice to speed up her speed? I mean the hard ice that is slippery and knowing pinkie to be an excellent skater( Despite her playing as someone else and that there may even be hard ice on a stage) could mean that she did a quick swerve around to the other side
Oh no, all the people that came up to me were saying how good it was. Usually haters seem prominent and common online, but I really think IRL they won't say anything, it's the anonymity effect.
There are four forces in physics, "strong force" deals with sub atomic particles, "weak force", same as latter, magnetism, strong and infinite range, and gravity, weak same range. Fifth theoretical force is magic itself.
couldn't the tornado one actually be plausible? with centripetal force would cause air to get shot out of the circle of pegasi, which causes a vacuum, which would suck the water up. I realize it wouldn't be EXACTLY the same as on the show, and it would be very difficult to accomplish, but I think it is plausible
The 64 was just a cool number to put after usernames at the time I made this channel back in like 2007 or so. The reason why it was cool was probably because of the N64.
12:46 The measurements for a pony/horse is used to measure them from hoof to shoulder, not head to hoof. By making it so that the measurements for the two ponies is from head to hoof, you might have made some miscalculations in your math because AJ and Pinkie would actually be taller than what you presented in your findings. Overall though, it was fun to watch. I hope you can do another one in the future if it’s at all possible. Maybe you could give some theories about how a Changeling (AKA a bug pony) can turn into a normal pony (AKA a mammal) without saying magic. That would be something to hear.
+Thestral Pony Actually his math won't be wrong. While it is true he put the measurement from head to hoof, the numbers he recovered was no doubt measured in the standard hoof to shoulder. The only real variation is the fact he was unaware of the measurement distinction.
Actually the shape of a barrel ring, being asymmetrical, might actually work. I'm actually more concerned with how she is countering the torque from spinning such a mass that fast; perhaps she is waving the middle part of her tail in the opposite direction and due to the wagonwheel effect that isn't noticeable in that shot....
I bet this guy could explain magic if he tried and had the time and funds, Karens though, neither Twilight nor Pinkie Pie could explain that. Her Pinkie Sense sign would be explosion without reformation, also this guy is the brony ambassador for Harvard students
Well, it's started pretty well, but then this huge explanations for the scene with pinkie weren't that necessary. It's kinda fun when someone trying to apply real physics laws on a cartoon, but not when someone getting too deep into it. It just becomes boring and not funny at all.
![[Archive] School Presentation on How to be a Brony](/img/n.gif)
You are the one who brought my attention to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Thank you.
With all due respect, there is one simple explanation for Pinkie Pies' improbable accelleration in the third example.
She's Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie has her own laws of Physics
The Laws of Pinkie Pie
Law 1: there are no rules
Now try to explain the physics of pinkie pie swinging into the lake and at the last possible minute slows down and just eases into the water without a single splash.
That would have been awesome if I did a crowd surf, but the audience wasn't nearly as active as they could have been, whereas a rave would be more appropriate. Also, there was like a 6 foot gap between the audience and the stage. Sorry I didn't see you after the presentation, but I might come for the next EQLA in May.
Pinkie Pie doesn't follow the laws of physics.
A super fast spining air thingy...priceless
Injustice found the first presentation and this one and I’m in awe. These were so fun to watch and I can’t believe someone did this. I wish there were more, I’m dying 😂
Thank you for making part 2.
You make the best pony presentations !!
Pinkie pie can manipulate physics. Even if the physics in mlp are loose, they are still there. Yet pinkie pie breaks them still because she can
Awesome, pinkie pie is definitely a time lord XD By you calculations, she would have a final velocity of 7.68 m/s, but you would have to give time for her to decelerate, as she doesn't appear onscreen going at that speed.
The original video was what converted me to being a brony by the way, when I was randomly looking up stuff on physics.
Another good one, Honestly couldn't keep up with the physics of it all but still interesting.
And she was never seen again......

Isn't it sad that I learn more math in a pony video that is school?
bucking brilliant
Told ya you would do fine, everyone loved you.
You didn't go crowed surfing but still awesome.
Sadly I wasn't able to find ya after the presentation to tell you ya did awesome . :/

In the suggested videos on the right, look for a video called "Pony Physics Panel - Equestria LA 2012" and it has a better shot at the screen.
are you going to be at equestria LA 2013 and if so wich days

I was actually unaware of the terminology "Hammerspace" When I made this
It's from anime. 8)
Clearly Apple Bloom hired Pinkie Pie to use her verisimulation powers to cause her to float into the air.
#2: Flying around in circles is how the Pegasi generate magical energy to create the tornado.
#3: Again, Pinkie Pie used her verisimulation powers.
I should probably explain that verisimulation is the ability to make one's imagination a reality- best explanation for Pinkie I've heard.
Do you think possibly for the benefit of people who are really interested *cough cough* you could put what's on the screen in an annotation at the side?
Wouldn't the vacuum in the middle of the pony tornado caused by the centrifugal "force" pushing the air outwards suck things?
Surprisingly, computer science requires more physics classes than mechanical engineering so I still have to take waves/thermodynamics. Are you still teaching in norcal?
Hey, don't you go to UCLA for Mechanical Engineering?
Really good job, good humour, not too much brony pandering, well done

Just putting it out there, I know it's a cartoon and such ;)
I love your work btw :D

Good lord It took me forever finding this for some reason
17:45 - you could have used s = ut + 1/2 at^2 (constant acceleration equation) rather than taking the final velocity, although I can understand if that would have been too complicated for a short presentation
This is best channel
Agreed
Loved the presentation but on your last explanation when you kept trying to stress how much of a stretch this was you should relax on that because you are ignoring the stretch you are putting on it by making Physics apply into MLP. But otherwise dude this is just amazing/
I wonder who was shaking more, the camera man or the guy on stage.
almost a year later and he still is terrible at giving speeches lol I love it
Can someone help me find the vid plz where they calculated how tall AJ is by using the Apples she pulled in a cart as a point a reference? :?
Do you have a twitter my god sir?
link to the actual presentation?

All these can be explained with one thing that always happens in MLP: MAGIC
There are four forces in physics, "strong force" deals with sub atomic particles, "weak force", same as latter, magnetism, strong and infinite range, and gravity, weak same range. Fifth theoretical force is magic itself.
Pinkie pie does obey physical laws...Quantum physics, where all kinds of crazy shit happens.
couldn't the tornado one actually be plausible? with centripetal force would cause air to get shot out of the circle of pegasi, which causes a vacuum, which would suck the water up. I realize it wouldn't be EXACTLY the same as on the show, and it would be very difficult to accomplish, but I think it is plausible
xD Your use of time is quite interesting, Stephen.
The 64 was just a cool number to put after usernames at the time I made this channel back in like 2007 or so. The reason why it was cool was probably because of the N64.
Okay this is awesome.

If you turned the camera another degree to the right I would be there =p. NICE WORK BRAH...NEE
Does the 64 in your name by chance relate to the N64?
Well I might alternate back and forth with my other channel, it sort of depends on what I upload.
No, I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona. But yeah, I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
Im actually going to transfer there next year for Aerospace Engineering! I hope you managed to make it!
this year it's in baltimare
I LIVE IN A SUBERB OF CANTERLOT D.E.
THATS WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE
think you can maybe put captions? because it is really hard to understand what he's saying when the audience is clapping.
A properly shaped ring can produce lift; but of course most ringshapes don't.
You sir are amazing/talented/ and freaking awesome..Can I have a Brohoof?
Yeah, I think the first time I used the username "Beatledude64" was like 10 years ago, and back then I was crazy about The Beatles.
This is amazing :D
Actually the shape of a barrel ring, being asymmetrical, might actually work. I'm actually more concerned with how she is countering the torque from spinning such a mass that fast; perhaps she is waving the middle part of her tail in the opposite direction and due to the wagonwheel effect that isn't noticeable in that shot....
Dude your really brave and awesome
I was actutally referring to the Season 3 episode "Too Many Pinkie Pies".
A blade is just a wing held in a vertical position. So technically he was right...
What you forgot to do I'm scene 3 is to think with portals
You are incredible. That's all there is to say about that.
I think a physics presentation on Double Rainboom would be a good idea. /)
I bet this guy could explain magic if he tried and had the time and funds, Karens though, neither Twilight nor Pinkie Pie could explain that. Her Pinkie Sense sign would be explosion without reformation, also this guy is the brony ambassador for Harvard students
"Maybe there's more than one Pinkie Pie."
Oh, forshadowing.
Fixing the first shot:Apple Bloom is an jedi
maybe one was let from the episode where there was like hundreds :O
BUCKIN' AWESOME
Well MLP is too cool to follow the laws of physics which is why these things happen XD
two things
A. please make a third.
B. Pinkie is a Q.
Pinkie did a backflip over AJ's head outside of the frame.
Ponies are living in the world made of magic
Well that escalated quickly.
@hp12803 we are in engineering too.
if the series would obey the law of physics it wouldn't be any good
For the Transportation problem, the answer is simple. It was just Pinkie
applebloom taking in helium lol
Never underrestimate pinkie's speed
I thought we learned not to question Pinkie Pie
No I mean't hard ice, after she walked off the soft ice in a circle she slid on the hard ice with her hooves
(\ /\ /)
Well, it's started pretty well, but then this huge explanations for the scene with pinkie weren't that necessary. It's kinda fun when someone trying to apply real physics laws on a cartoon, but not when someone getting too deep into it. It just becomes boring and not funny at all.
Nicee ^^
It takes balls to take public about ponies.
Part 3 should feature just one example: Pinkie Pie.
from way back there, he kinda looks like Jesse Eisenberg
MLP fans freak me the fuck out. Like alot. But I wish I had your confidence while you presented. Hell, your confidence in general!
Do Marvel comics fans freak you out?
My Little Presentation: Science is Analytical
Dont they learn about circular motion in American schools? Otherwise perfect presentation
Nothing About My Pinkie Pie Army. Nothing
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
And you didn't call it the pornado.
It's Pinkie Pie. Don't question it.
I was there :D
what is this?
Im confused and scared D:
Oh shit I saw celestia. 16:24
