[time-nuts] I think I've become a Volt nut too.

I'm picturing 100,000 pendula in a cave, all gravity locked to
their neighbors. (How small would they have to be to fit into
the main cave at Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico?)

So, how much would the temperature gradient have to be to break
the lock?

Ah, maybe it isn't gravity, but the common floor support.

What a great day for thought experiments.

But consider 100,000 pendulums that are all right-on and then the
temperature 
changes.
