I finished watching the anime series Vision of Escaflowne just a sec ago. Pretty decent I suppose. I want wings that sprout out of nowhere... and a giant mech. Yup, that'd be nice, haha. But yea, I was thinking about that pendant of Hitomi's that has the "special" property of being able to swing back and forth keeping exact time. Well, I got to thinking about the physics of that- and isn't that like one of the basic properties of pendulums? that they always swing back & forth with the same period, regardless of amplitude? And the fact that her special pendant swung in exactly 1 second; well, if I remember correctly, isn't the period of swing for simple harmonic motion dictated by the length and not the weight at the end? So it'd be more correct if she said that her pendant was on a special chain, huh? hahaha. Guess those storywriters shoulda brushed up on their physics a bit, huh? =P
