Give Newton his five balls back
This Newton cradle looks more like a chandelier. Restore believable physics: exactly five equal polished steel balls, each suspended from paired strings in one plane. Show four touching balls in a straight row at rest and the leftmost ball pulled back to the left. Keep the walnut desk and warm studio lighting, with a frame that leaves the balls room to swing. Use a new prompt, inpainting, another model or a manual edit. Submit a linked Fix and share what you changed so others can learn. Partial improvements and funny attempts are welcome. Can you make it look like it would actually work?
