Metronomes (or "pendula") when on table, oscillate with random phases, since that is how they started and they are "uncoupled" (no energy/information flows from one to other so they do not "know" each other.)
When they are all together on the cans, notice that the cans themselves oscillate little, providing coupling/information crossover which forces "synchronization" in periodic systems (discovered by Huygens in 17th century).
i saw a three legged dog walk along with his owner today. He was leaping around in excitement in front of his owner as if being a three legged dog was the most natural thing out there. Unless it was born that way, it must have tripped the first few times after it stood on his feet. Eventually someone must have trained him to walk with three legs be happy with that..
Some people are like that. They don't have half as much as we do but they live life like they have everything they could ever ask for..and then there is this part of me that wishes we cared for each other enough to make a profession out of teaching others how to live along with their challenges and disabilities and be content with life..
"To burn always with this hard gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life."
"Vain are the beliefs and teachings that make man miserable, and false is the goodness that leads him into sorrow and despair, for it is man's purpose to be happy on this earth and lead the way to felicity and preach its gospel wherever he goes. He who does not see the kingdom of heaven in this life will never see it in the coming life. We came not into this life by exile, but we came as innocent creatures of God, to learn how to worship the holy and eternal spirit and seek the hidden secrets within ourselves from the beauty of life."
