    He use to be my high school physics teacher. Its supper weird to have him pop up on my feed, especially since he made this video 8 years ago. He would always do cool experiments like this in class to explain difficult concepts. He's probably the reason I became an engineer. Hope all is well sir!

      @@tomriddle5102 Fair, perhaps improperly seeing depth would be a better description.
      Obviously none of the pendulums are moving perpendicular to the initial swing, or orbiting horizontally around any shared central point, but it definitely looks like a spiral pattern at times or even a double helix.
      The whole illusion is similar to how watching a drill your eye tries to follow percieved motion upward or downward, yet the single horizontal section of the screw pattern is just rotating about the same plane. Or chasing lights, which are actually just flashing in a sequence. It becomes a challenge to focus on a single bulb and not have your eye move along the strand.

      I agree with the critique about wanting a close-up, but apparently Mr. Turton has much going on, and they say the busiest people get the most accomplished. So, I'm guessing he wanted to put out this video before he lost time to make it perfectly. That's either his garage, classroom, or both, and we'll never know if putting the camera on the other side of the wave was a bad or restricted shot. He has more wave videos on his channel.

      @@hoon_sol my understanding is that, due to the decreasing momentum of each pendulum over time there is a resonance that breaks away from synchronization and then retains it when the resonance reoccurs.
