Re: Pendulum - Laws of Physics

a finite system, fixed frequencies ... there are always finite least common multipliers (for different subsets) which give the impression of the pendulums 'swinging together'. the lastest one is the one where you found the lcm of all frequencies, and the whole show starts to repeat itself.
