Science. It works, BITCHES.

That is SO cool.

Adding video to channels (Howto) - requested by rottenseed.

but no *science channel?

Invocations (science) cannot be called by Raytrace because Raytrace is not privileged - sorry.

I'll fix it, cheers Raytrace

It's a similar principle when women who live together tend to menstruate at the same time of the month. (I wonder if it matters if the place where they're living is balanced on aluminum cans.)

I'm most impressed that someone owns 5 metronomes.

FAKE! How could you find two full beer cans at college?

I found waldo.

... but did you see the dude in the bear suit walk through?

If you need this service, I synchronize metronomes in the greater metro area. We use the roundest cylinders and most flexible semi-flexible planks you can buy, so you can be assured your metronomes will be in very precise synchronization.

The metronomes part is cool, and would be worthy of an upvote were it not for the sexually ambiguous nature of that shirt. So no vote from me.

At any gas station

I'm even more impressed that said owner of 5 metronomes has enough knowledge of the outside world to post this on youtube.

I want my minute back.

Don't be so impressed thebug44. But your post is telling.

I'll give you a hint:

youtube != outside world

Bah. Thanks for nothing, but this is just too late. I had to deliver a presentation to a HUGE client this afternoon, and found out 5 minutes before the meeting that the metronomes hadn't been synchronized. Needless to say, the presentation bombed, we lost the business, and I'm working in the mail room now.

Holy fuck!

On another note, apparently they don't keep *perfect* time....

Actually, they do, but it's an average of all their timings. The way out of sync ones get moved by the closely sync'd ones in such a way that the pendulums don't complete their arcs until they are in sync. If you notice, the ones with very large arcs get smaller, and the smaller arcs get slightly larger.

I'm not good at science. Can someone explain please?

Hypnotic!

As the metronomes rock back and forth on the suspended platform, the transfer of their energy causes the board to shake in the opposite direction of the wand. This causes a rhythmic motion of the board, which rocks all the metronomes in the same rhythm. This in turn causes the metronomes wands to start rocking in the opposite motion of the board, and eventually, they will all start to fall in line, and will synchronize.

Asshole! Why didn't he just pray for them to get synchronized.

omg! thats so not useful!

I think the key is to have an ODD number of metronomes. This way, you always have a side with more pendulums (pennduli??)pulling the board, i.e. 3 against 2, feeding the cycles. With 4 pendulums, the probability of having a 2 against 2 pull is high, and would induce chaos in the system every now and then. Does that make any sense?
