Nerdgasm: pendulum waves

A little bit of physics, a little bit of maths, and ... whoooaaahh, duuuuude!



Mostly it is just about the period of a given pendulum being a function of it's length, but invariant over the amplitude of the swing, appropriately iterated over monotonically increasing lengths.

I think I see the "period three implies chaos" law at work here too.

If this doesn't lure Pie back, nothing will.

There is a pretty good explanation at the Youtube page.
