    Theres this place in the UK called 'the crooked house', its a pub, which slants to one side. Weirdly this experiment works there too. People use a coin there and it rolls up instead of down

    If the sides of your ramp were parallel instead of converging to the downhill point, both shapes would roll downhill. The object shaped like two cones put together rolls in the direction that has its center of mass descending on the converging ramp, so its center of gravity is "rolling downhill".

    This glitch will be fixed on the next update .. If you find any more glitches.. Just report or update your simulation.. Thank you.

    -Bro where are you? -Up here on the tree -How did you get up there? -I fell.

    Now I understand Lil Wayne when he said I fell from the streets, I landed in the sky. 💆

    That object that rolls up on a slanted hill has rejected the offer of the laws of physics while The Action Lab is testing with him.

    "Oh no! I've fallen, and I can't get down!"

    "Gravity HATES this shape. See how it gets 54 inches of uphill per week using this one simple trick"
  • 0:43 If you look at the center cylinder, you’ll notice it actually descends as it rolls up the ramp.
  • this is the first one i actually understood before getting it explained to me

    0:51 “now watch both of theses at the same time now” My eyes: 👁 👃

    When life starts going down, be this cone not the cylinder.

    As kids we made marble runs with horizontal wooden blocks wicb diverge as the marble runs downwards. This was easier in construction generally, although you did have to support the sides enough to prevent the marble from pushing the blocks outward.
  • that triangular shaped base along with the slanted shape of the rolling object is why it rolls up. Physics won't let those two shapes interact in a way that lets it roll the other directions

  • I wish I could be so fascinated by such simple and mundane things. It looks like he's having fun.

    Interesting video! I understand how it works. Thanks for sharing this with us 😀
