I have a special love of pendulums as a musician (and a former physics teacher), and I have created metronomes of every variety from Winkel's ideas (Harrison used the double-weighted even before in one of his marine chronometers) to Weber's Rhenish inch pendulums for timing. I wonder, if it's no bother, do you know of a time when in the 18th or 19th centuries that scientists like Young or musicians like Beethoven might have used the OSCILLATION instead of the VIBRATION when determining metronome markings for their works ... super curious if you might know.

      Statement: By matching vibrations (beat rates) of two sets of physical and simple pendulums (+/- 0.1 beats) and measuring them (+/- .003 M), I find that the physical pendulum and the simple pendulum have a 1.5:1 ratio with respect to L; therefore, the formula for a physical pendulum as shewn in the video is:
      T= 2π ((2/3)*(L/g))^(1/2)
      NB: The mass (M) (because of its equal distribution in the phys. pend.) and the displacement angle (b) (too small to fall out of isochronism) are not necessary in this equation.

    Brilliant lecture.
    I am an electronic/electrical engineer with a PhD in acoustics, that has loved physics - particularly astrophysics - for years.
    I am by no means an expert, but I have managed to (whether it be accidentally or not) find myself correct in many debates with those - including astrophysicists - that are smarter and/or more respected/educated than me.
    I remember proposing the anti-photon as a reason for the double slit experiment, getting laughed at in university for it, but then being asked to come back and explain how it might work.
    But, over the years, as I have followed physics - particularly astrophysics - I have an uncertainly about some aspects of conservation of energy.
    Namely the claim that energy can't be created or destroyed.
    As such, I have come to the conclusion that - if modern day astrophysics is to believed;
    A) Energy can be created or destroyed; and it doesn't only change from one form to another.
    B) Energy conservation only is local.
    Examples within the universe where energy is created/destroyed, are as follows . . .
    Evaporating black holes are one, and the decaying cosmic microwave background is another.
    Where is the heat energy from the latter (the decaying cosmic microwave background) going; if not being destroyed?
    Also, where is the information, heat, and other energy from the former going; if not being destroyed?

      Well, this man was born in the Netherlands (yes, in Yurp, next to Germany) in 1936 and around 1965 he started working at MIT. So he grew up without inches and feet! I am Dutch too, I know the problem. The rest of the world is in love with inches, feet, stones, two tastes of miles, Fahrenheit and whatever. I can not get used to these strange numbers and I don't want to know what Fahrenheit was thinking. The only one scale more bizar is Delisle. The higher the number, the colder it is. Yes, an inverted scale. Great.
      Of course we understand and if needed we get used to your units soon enough, but a scientist must get tired of all those conversions before and after the actual calculations. Or he must use different constants for the oldfashioned units, which is just as annoying. Tradition is okay, but it has toooo many drawbacks.
      A funny example was a giant hot air balloon, a Frisian cow. Drawing was in centimeters, and it was produced in the UK, in inches. That's a whole lot of volume more than expected. So, the balloon pilot said no thanks, and in the end somebody else bought it and installed a very large basket. This is a true story and there have been more cases of confusion just like this one. Awkward. So, thumbs and forearms and feet and stones, funny, but no thank you. No hard feelings, people start argueing about such things, viewers of this video know better. It is the way it is. At least I hope you liked the giant flying cow!

    🥺💬 He is correct Energy conservation, if no additional force applying then it cannot change direction or target height.
