Turning a Googol to 1 gearbox from the other side!?

What would happen!? I got this question like a thousand times
See my other video of how it actually works.

Only the 3th gear is still possible to turn by hand after that friction takes over.

About the work:

On march 1 2020 14:52 I was exactly 1 billion seconds old. To celebrate I build this machine that visualizes the number googol. That's a 1 with a hundred zeros. A number that's bigger than the atoms in the known universe. This machine has a gear reduction of 1 to 10 a hundred times. In order to get the last gear to turn once you'll need to spin the first one a google amount around. Or better said you'll need more energy than the entire known universe has to do that. That boggles my mind. ⁣

The version in the video is a prototype and cannot run for to long BUT I'm making a version that could run for years/decades. If you are interested don't hesitate to contact me via email.

This work is totally inspired by the work of Arthur Ganson. Machine in concrete.

It's like trying to close the door by pulling the corner near the hinges

You just didn't put your back into it.

I know logically that it requires massive amounts of torque but my brain won’t allow that and just wonders how weak he is not being able to move a couple gears

I don't think people understand just how ridiculously large googol is. If you turn the last gear just by one planck length, the edge of the first gear would move more than the length of the entire observable universe (assuming the gear is rigid and no energy loss)

[drakeb]

It would require one googol times the force it takes to turn the first one, so we probably won’t be able to do it in the physical world, but a simulation of this machine would be dope as hell

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

He moved it and it went at lightspeed, it's just that our entire universe went backwards in time to the point where he tries to move it so it looks like nothing happens.

[FinancialFaiz]

Even Saitama couldnt move that last gear. No way.

Humanity last heard words before annihilation:
Scientist 1: "WOW! IT WORKED!"
Scientist 2: "Cool. Now let's try the other way."

[jesus]

Can you imagine coming home and your kid starts time traveling with gears from the lego box you bought him?

[helionator]

What we expected:

The last wheel turned a centimeter
And we see the fast spinning wheel glows in heat and opens up a wormhole

[gromby]

Did anyone actually expect a different result?

[ashrafthegoat]

Of course he had enough strength to move the gear... he just didn't want to create a tear in our dimension. How considerate of him.

[syedsyclone]

It moved so fast, that we think it's not even moving!

Truly remarkable! Good show, jolly good show indeed!

When you get a new mountain bike, and the kid next door asks you how many gears it has

[savagepredators]

13.8 billion years ago someone probably tried this for a youtube video and caused big bang

[Juanoodi]

Physics books:
_"Imagine a boy turning a googol to 1 gearbox from the other side..."_

[seancancook]

The torque required would destroy the mechanism. One of those things that only works the one way.

Even the time it would take to spin the last gear is completely theoretical.

This dude is gonna break the simulation
