Rocking flower arrangement at a wake

[Magical Realist]

Happened in the Dominican Republic at a family wake..These are the videos that convince me the most! Not wind because the flowers next to it aren't moving. The rocking is forceful and continuous, indicatjng paranormal force of either group PK or an actual ghost.

Wow. Lots of superstitious people.
It's this mechanism happening:

You can even see the two front legs getting further from the back leg. Wouldn't take much to get such a easel setup going like that, since there's nothing keeping the back leg from splaying out. The video also doesn't show it start, leaving it open to being dumped, etc. before they started filming.

LOL Walking ladders only happen on an incline. That's the force driving their movement.

As for the flower arrangement, it is not on an incline and even if it was it wouldn't walk because with a 3 legged tripod all legs are always on the floor. And like I said, the rocking is forceful and steady showing no signs of decreasing due to inertia and gravity. It even falls over at the end indicating an increase of force. No possibility of residual force from an earlier push. The crowd there would have seen that. Clearly it didn't happen. Take a course in physics sometime.

The weight of the wreath pushing down, against the back leg that's up against the wall, is what's driving the front legs forward... coupled with the rocking that intermittently removes friction pressure from each front leg. Ladders don't typically do that either, until they're jostled enough to start the process. But since ladders have bars that connect and keep the legs from splaying, they require a slope.

It's the same physics as the ladder. It got jostled, there's no support to keep the legs from splaying, and the back leg is against the wall. With each front leg intermittently coming off the floor, all the forces would, of course, push them forward. You can see the front and back legs getting further apart in the video, especially from the side and compared to the other, unmoving easel. The "walking" ladder equally seems forceful and steady, for the same physical reasons.

If you want to crow about your Dunning-Kruger overestimation of your grasp of physics, go right ahead. That's the beautiful thing about physics. It is what it is.

Nope. The ladder is on an incline. Even if it was pushed it wouldn't continue due to gravity. There is no incline for the flower arrangement. It's not walking and is being forcefully rocked off the ground from one leg to the next. Nobody pushed the flower arrangement and it wouldn't continue rocking until it tipped over if they did. It's paranormal.

You obviously don't understand very basic physics. 9_9

The force is clearly pushing down, by gravity, and diverted forward, away from the back leg against the wall. You simply cannot have the front legs not moving forward... as clearly shown in the video... with that force vector.

You don't know how it started rocking, because the video doesn't show it.

No..there is no gravitational force diverted forward. The downward gravity is being exerted on all three legs at all times from the loads they are bearing, resisting any lifting force. And yet there is a lifting force, causing the whole flower stand to be pushed back and forth forcefully and lifting the two legs up and down. Once again the skeptic makes a fool of himself trying to explain away the undeniable with some sort of physics-sounding hocus pocus we always see.

You should really refrain from trying to analyze physics you clearly don't have any grasp on. 9_9
You just keep opening your mouth and removing all doubt of your incompetence.
