Title: our lady eris synchronises metronomes?

So which one of you wrote this about the synchronised metronomes experiment?  :lol:

Now I know how to get a cheap marching sound on a recording.

I think that's called "physics".

Wouldn't that be the opposite of Eris's work? Taking the random, chaotic mess and turning it into synchronized beats?

But but there's 32 of them!

It is a cool video, but it seems pretty intuitive.

What would be really fucking weird if it were digital metronomes on an immovable surface. Or, wait, wait... floating around in a vacuum. You'd need to have the flash enabled on it though.

That last little guy, second row back on the right - I'm pretty sure he could have kept going out of phase, forever if he'd wanted. Just fell into step so the others wouldn't lynch him. That's our discordian, right there 8)

Huh, now that is most enticing to watch. Heh, who snuck into the labs this time?

Wish we covered that back in science class.
