How It Works: When one or more spheres are lifted and released, the momentum and energy transfer between the spheres, causing them to swing back and forth. This process demonstrates the principle of conservation of momentum—the total momentum remains constant as long as no external forces are involved. The result is a mesmerizing, continuous motion that never fails to intrigue.
