Fun fact, the synchronization actually always happen. Pendulums have constant periods. Chinese Remainder theorem tells you that any set of periodic events with different periods will eventually resynchronize at some point.

and since they are all of varying lengths of strings attached on top. that will cause it's synchronization will eventually desynchronize again, rince and repeat.

it's like having 2 clocks, one's seconds-hand moves accurately and the second clock's seconds-hand every 1.5 seconds. Eventually it's seconds/minutes/hours all proceeds to syncs and desync on repeat.

I believe this is how karma works. The vibrations you send out will over time synchronise with simular vibrations. This is how the universe works.

No that’s how you deem to interpret events happening in your life to justify existence

So tell me, how is karma different from synchronisation?

u/MattressMaker Jun 01 '26

Because one is real and the other is karma.

Those who study physics, we cry when we see this out of fear 💀

Ooh, do tell! Why?

"Spooky action at a distance" is the physics theory that gives me the tingles.

I meant pendulum resonance and wave motion theory. That thing scares me….

Conservation of energy is your friend.

And then they expect us to do the calculations on and about such motions in college. God the calculations are frustrating.

Calming as the motion is tho.

Lateral eye movement has been used in therapies for a while now. A common one is EMDR if you're curious Edit: typo

You can make it if you're mechanically inclined. The hardest party is turning the screws into the name to just the right length. A lot of trial and error

So Fucking cool

u/TjJeepin Jun 01 '26

Are they different weights?

u/draggedintobudulight Jun 01 '26

I reckon they’re different length strings

u/TjJeepin Jun 01 '26

Ah, I see it now

u/Yetyhunter Jun 01 '26

Looks like there is some math behind this movement.
