My Introduction

-Berklee Grad
-Machinist
-Father of two
-HUGE horology nerd

In joining this website I hope to gain some deeper understanding of the mathematics and predicted behaviors of a Spherical Pendulum. I stumbled across a physics paper, several actually on the subject that peaked my interest but they're loaded with more information than I can digest. I also hope to connect with others who have experience with programs like Wolfram or MapleSoft (or others) so that I can visualize, customize conditions, and record my explorations into the subject.

I'm very interested in designing and building a new type of mechanical clock that exploits specific traits of the spherical pendulum system to achieve accurate(TBD) levels of timekeeping.

If you have any advice or a solid direction to point me into I will be eager to read on and keep digging at these subjects.

Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
