Summary
Colliding blocks can illustrate mathematical concepts, particularly in calculating pi. By representing their states in a configuration space, the dynamics translate into geometry, akin to light bouncing between mirrors. This analogy aids in understanding momentum conservation and leads to counting bounces, ultimately revealing how pi emerges from the mass ratios of the blocks.
