According to a World Health Organization (World Health Organization) survey, almost every fourth office worker has at least four signs of depression. Only 14% are truly passionate about work, and only 12% stand out for their optimistic attitude. Therefore, we all need to relax more often. Different antistresses help to remember the need for rest at work. The most popular of them is the pendulum "Newton's balls."
Benefits of Antistress
There are many ways to relieve nervous tension in the workplace. Someone runs out every half hour for a smoke break, someone often drinks tea or coffee, and someone organizes his place according to the rules of Feng Shui and puts Newton's balls on the table. This souvenir not only allows you to move away from the fact that it is simply impossible to control, but also perfectly decorates the workplace, creating an atmosphere of harmony and order. If you place it on the corner of the table, it will be a kind of reminder of the need for periodic disconnection of consciousness from the daily routine, as well as help with meditation.
What are Newton's balls and who invented them?
This anti-stress is a small desktop kinetic sculpture in the form of a stand with two metal supports on which five metal balls are suspended. Newton's balls demonstrate and remind of the great law of conservation of energy, the philosophical prerequisites for the discovery of which were laid down by ancient wise men. This souvenir was invented by none other than the English sculptures Simon Prebble. Once in 1967, conducting experiments in his workshop, he remembered Newton’s laws and decided to create a very unusual, effective and bright model that would illustrate the principle of energy conservation and at the same time relieve fatigue and stress during work, thereby contributing to mental calm man.
How do Newton balls work?
In order to see how this souvenir works, just take one of the extreme balls, take it to the side, and then let it go. After he hits his neighbor, on the opposite side there will be a mirror image of this movement, and in the same rhythm and at the same speed. The balls in the middle remain motionless, and the extreme ones will oscillate until the elastic and friction forces lead to a slow stop of movement. The rhythm of movement and sounds just creates the effect of relaxation and stimulates human meditation. How long will Newton's balls move? The duration of such an original gift directly depends on the weight and size of the balls: the larger their diameter and the heavier they are, the longer this process will last, and vice versa.
Nowadays, when events in life happen at a crazy pace, Newton’s balls are a real way to escape from the hustle and bustle in the happiness of carelessness and peace! A meditative tapping of bewitching balls will help not only to concentrate on an important idea, but also just relax after some hard work at work. An additional plus is that they do not bother. Over time, this souvenir will stop by itself, and the mood will quietly change for the better.
