February 1665 Huygens discovered the effect with pendulums locked in 50 kg wooden boxes coupling over a wooden beam (he was sick, and had nothing else to do but watch the clocks), a few weeks later experimentally he verified it was vibration (in fact, if you do the experiment you'll discover the vibration is very visible). Presumably, very heavy mechanical oscillators in a vacuum completely isolated from vibration would couple gravitationally. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
