Instant Fame!

Today i became a celebrity. I took my students from Pisa University to a Cathedral to admire some of the architecture last week. When i looked up and saw a lamp on a long string swinging back and forth. It made me wonder how long a large and small swing took. So i timed the swings using my own pulse. I concurred that each swing took the same time. The long swings took the exact same amount of time as other long swings and the short swings also took the same amount of time. I had just discovered the Law of Pendulums which we now use for regulating clocks. Today all in all was a fabulous day
