Five Metronomes Synchronize Through Coupling
Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations · Demo · YouTube title: Synchronization of Metronomes
Why it's here
Cited as the canonical visual demonstration of coupled oscillators synchronizing, applied to analogies from brain waves to LLM populations.
What it covers
A Harvard lecture demonstration in which five metronomes on a movable board gradually fall into synchronization through coupling. Removing the coupling lets them drift out of step.
