We teach the youth that the period of a pendulum is independent of its amplitude •This isn't quite true. It's only true for 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙 angles θ •In reality, a pendulum's period is only independent of its amplitude if it moves along a cycloidpic.twitter.com/0si5dAcAuV

Here's an easy way to understand why the period diverges as the angle increases: just imagine dropping the pendulum from an almost vertical angle. It can take a long time for it to go down on each swing, as it almost balances at every high point. (On top, the phase diagram.)pic.twitter.com/GYRSlCBDze
I'm not gonna lie, your animations were the first to get me interested in animating

Aw, man. Really? I don't even know what to say. I'm really glad I could instill that sort of inspiration. I admire and appreciate your work a lot as well, and I hope we both may inspire many others now.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
