Re: [time-nuts] synchronizing a large number of weaklycoupled oscillators

With physical oscillators coupling is limited by the speed of sound (in the medium, with pendulum clocks wood is lots quicker than air with 3-4 km/s) with electronic oscillators the speed of light. Latter means that their distance has to be short enough so that they lie within each other's

Hi I think in this case we're talking more about phase coherent situations than about simple interaction. Bob On May 13, 2010, at 1:46 PM, Hal Murray wrote: With physical oscillators coupling is limited by the speed of sound (in the medium, with pendulum clocks wood is lots quicker than
