Infinite Path

By Robert Birming in Home & Garden on Jan 11, 2008 at 3:37 pm


Is it true that “paths are made by walking”? Well, these guys decided to find out.

In order to determine whether the above phrase was actually true, we kept running in a park for 5 days. In the fast-forward movie compiled from digital photographs taken one per second, a path the shape of ? (infinity) gradually emerges as we move with high-speed.

    So...they didn't know that before they performed the experiment? I hope the grass grows back properly if it is indeed in a public park.

    WTF? If they didn't already know that a path can be formed in grass just by walking over the same place repeatedly ... should they be breathing air? I know that's a bit rude to say, but c'mon.

    for their next experiment they will see if it's true that you can't breathe in water without apparatus. what morons.

    wait! they even did the experiment wrong!!! paths are made by walking....yet they made theirs by running.....similar but not the same. thus they have proven that paths are made by running.

    The best part of that video is the people dancing in the background.

    Can't wait for the sequel where they test the footwear they used: Were "these boots made for walking"? Find out, soon!
