Basically, If you hear from 0:45 There is some beat already going on randomly, Others basically followed whichever beat had the highest volume, and it is exponential, so it feels like it started suddenly. You would have gone with the flow too, if you were there.
As a Hungarian I thought this is a worldwide phenomenon and not just something regional. Once you start to hear that unison from the distance you immediately start to sync up consciously to the rhythm. But that unison fades away and everybody starts clapping randomly again up until the next wave of unison hits. The night vision shot of the video makes this 10x times weirder than necessary :)
@@carlwheezerofsouls3273 well, i'm brazilian and am quite sure about my own country's culture so yeah, definitely not global if it doesn't include one of the biggest countries in the world in fact you should prove it's not a regional phenomenon, since most behavior patterns tend to be more commom or only existent on specific places and very few things are common to the whole world
I live in Hungary and as a child I always tried to start the sync, it is so funny. Sometimes we can do multiple rounds. The trick is you should start to clap very loudly and people will follow sometimes (because it is the part of the culture I guess).
Just to clarify - Veritasium got this a little wrong - In Budapest (especially at the State Opera House) - this isn't spontaneous - it's tradition. Everyone is trying to get into sync - takes about 20 seconds and then continues for a long time - sometimes even around 5 minutes prior to encore.
I don't believe this synchronization happened naturally like what happens with multiple metronomes or pendulums. In this case, the audience had different clapping speeds, and at some point they abruptly abandoned their clapping pace and adopted the loudest rhythm which could have been started by one person. The key word here is "abruptly". They didn't reach an equilibrium. Instead, this is a guided synchronization done with the audience full awareness. If you look closely you will see many in the audience abandoning their own clapping rhythm and abruptly joining the loudest clap. In the natural synchronization, clapping should have been merging slowly to reach the synchronized equilibrium until at one point everyone is at the same level of clapping.
@@whothoughtthiswasagoodidea it might be done intentionally in Hungry but I've seen it done unintentionally elsewhere like America. You can see more more people will start picking up on the there's a pattern emerging but there's a beat. And then there's a tipping point and because humans love patterns and love following the beat even the people who aren't trying end up getting pulled into it.
Not exactly, this one KRplusr did an explanation, synchronization happens spontaneously, even naturally. It is caused by “coupling”, when you drop the temperature of water, it doesn’t slowly freeze, it’s exactly the same until it reaches critical point and freezes, coupling works the same way, there’s no visual effect until a critical point is reached. This is why synchronization happens so suddenly
It does actually happen naturally. Once I was watch a theatre piece and the people really dragged out the actors bows at the end. Not only hands were sore, but at some point I started laughing because we naturally started clapping like we were at a concert. My sister looked at me and just then realised what was happening
This is completely normal in Hungary, and done on purpose. We do it all the time, it means the audience wants more. Even the sequence of how it speeds up and than goes half-time.
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
WHAT??? THIS NOT A COSTUME WORLDWIDE?? I've just read to comments and also tried to find anything about this on the internet and there's almost nothing. We call it the iron clap. It usually gradually speeds up until it becomes a regular clap then it emerges some time later again.
in a sense , we are all get in synch in wave by youtube alghoritm... just looks af the age of the comment. is even odd to come back to the viral video after the comments wave was passed
This scared the sh*t out of me when I first watched it and I ran out the computer room for some reason. Mainly bc that is how all my nightmares start, something happens pretty abruptly😅
It’s an encore clap. Most people expect performers to finish the final ‘act’, disappear while everyone claps, then at some point they return to the stage and either take an extended bow or there is a short ‘extra’ on the end. It’s an established feature of many performances now, so the audience are likely anticipating it. The slower unison clap is basically requesting an encore of some sort. People no longer shout ‘encore’ though.
Fascinating that most concert goers do this without much thought, the intent is fully understood collectively, and it almost seems to take less energy to clap in unison perhaps because the energy isn't cluttered and bouncing around the room. It's unifying, literally!
It's quite simple, you can just get a bunch of your friends to clap together, then some people will hear the unison clapping, and join in creating a domino effect.
Clapping in a synchronized manner usually means you want some kind of repetition so I'm not too surprised they did this. One cluster of people just started doing that and the rest followed.
@@fernandomartin9190 if a crowd claps long enough, the claps will sync. It has nothing to do with repetition. (Just that you clap until something happens. But it is the duration not the sync)
Actually this is very interesting phenomen. The way people change pattern in one moment is crazy. It is almost like meny metronomes synchronisation on wooden plate standing on some rolling cylinders or balls. It is like people subconsciously want to synchronise to same pattern. From chaos to order
if you look on the top right there are several people next to a wall that are clapping at the pace that dominates the room. likley because of their proximity to a wall. The person furthest back in the line seems to be slightly lagging as though he is visually mimicking what he sees. im not sure this should be an example of spontaneous synchronization. as the rest of the room dos not show ripples of the rhythm untill the moment it takes over.
When my class was playing detective the criminal started clapping and we all had to copy him and the detective was trying to find him but after about 30 or so seconds of clapping we got into sink withing 1/8th of a second

After reading about half of the comments, I came to the conclusion that, most people on youtube have never been to an opera, theater or a classical concert.
In France this is normal also, probably all Europe I guess. It’s the cultural way to ask for the Encore. Now seeing the comments I’m wondering if Americans are stranger to this. (Although I’m amazed by how quick is the transition here).
If you study physics and mathematics, its easy. Its nothing more than a common outcome of any oscillating system. And it usually doesn't maintain itself synchronized.
Everyone clapping as they like for the first minute, then your arms grow tired, and the band still hasn't come back on stage to do an encore; you slow down your claps so your arms don't ache as much, and your neighbors do the same.
Any system that has the ability to transfer energy will harmonize. Here everyone's clapping is influenced by the person beside them, if someone is clapping fast they will slowdown, if someone is clapping slow, they will speed up until that moment when everyone comes in sync.
Consciously changing clapping speed to match people around you is surely a very separate phenomenon to the spontaneous synchronisation of physical systems.
