    Fun fact: Dr Tokieda is a language wizard and he in fact did a PhD in ancient greek after classical letters studies in Paris (at first he wanted to become a painter). He learnt mathematics only after that, by doing russian toy math problems by himself for fun. He knows many languages apart from Japanese : english, french (perfectly), ancient greek and latin, classical chinese, finnish, spanish and russian.

    That was an excellent lecture. Not only through physical demonstrations, but back of the envelope calculations to explain the ones that are well understood. Anyone who has ever had to or wanted to explain something abstract can and should watch this and appreciate how masterfully Dr Tadashi does it.
    On a more personal note, watching this just really made me interested to see Dr Tadashi work with Tim Rowett of Grand Illusions on some toy physics videos. Perhaps they could have a competition where one presents an interesting toy and explains how it works, and the other counters with their own toys. Or maybe a wrestling tag-team sort of presentation where Tim demonstrates the toy and Dr Tadashi explains how it works. If their personalities synergize, I think it would be one of the best collaborations that youtube has ever seen.
    Bonus points if they brought Cliff Stoll in too.

    This is an absolutely brilliant presentation. I was prepared to just listen but eventually I had to watch as well as listen. He is an excellent teacher.
    When I find most fascinating about this is that his solutions are purely mathematical and do not involve physics computations other than at a very low leveled to work out the form of the solution. So there are some very basic things that one must know but the solution is essentially mathematical not physical. For example we're not looking at moments of inertia although they undoubtedly play a role in the solution. But we didn't have to look at the moment of inertia. And there's a lot of other things like that. Now part of that may be that he had already worked out certain shape of certain equations for us that we might have to use some actual knowledge of physics to work out. But he's done something here that turns these into purely mathematical exercises and I find that completely fascinating and brilliant.

    The answer to the magnetic ball Question is
    The momentum is conserved in a collision but in addition kinetic energy is also conserved in an elastic collision. The only way to conserve both is equal mass because energy is proportional to v square but momentum is linearly proportional to ve locity. If the magnetic ball sticks to another ball there is mass of two, so an elastic collision will be two balls leaving at the other end.

Is it anything connected to the direction of the Earth's rotation? That little plastic toy is driving me crazy! Is the fact that it's made from plastic causing the dilemma? Would an exact replica made from another material e.g. glass still make it refuse to stand up when spun left handed?

    Every school should have a library of movements obtained from housing dynamic exhibits like this. Many students went by the wayside because most religious and secular classical educators do not wish to learn what is in other people's mind , but they insist on projecting to others what they like themselves. Such a pity that we teach classical education without going deep about the invisible and silent functions of our universe.

      A coriolis force is a fictitious force (like centrifugal force), so it's not especially significant in an inertial reference frame. If you're referring to the coriolis force due to Earth's rotation, it's perhaps possible but extremely unlikely due to the weakness of the effect.

    The answer, why two balls come out, when only on ball comes in is: The first and the last balls are magnetic, while the other ones are not. So last pulls one extra ball out. And if you put two in, three comes out. When the first ball comes in, two comes out. And when the second comes in, one other ball comes out.
