Science Experiment Shows How 25,000 Random Dice Neatly Assemble into Perfect Circles
It turns out that dice, like martinis, prefer to be shaken, not stirred. Scientists in Spain recently proved this with a cool physics experiment in which 25,000 miniature dice (measuring half a centimeter in size) were placed in a large plastic cylinder. After “sufficient vigorously twisting” the vessel of randomly-oriented dice, the result was a perfectly-ordered arrangement. So, how does this experiment work?
