This looks like something that should have been able to be explained centuries ago - yet apparently it is still a mystery?

That is just... weird. I wonder whether anyone tried this experiment centuries ago, though. I mean, how do people come up with ideas like taking timelapse movies of rotating panels filled with beads of two different sizes and colors? Doesn't sound like the sort of thing you'd come up with over a few beers. Maybe it's only just been observed?

I think it depends on which beer you are drinking!

I loved that when they put in steps it affected the patterns! Its a bit like my sock drawer after a week or so!
