Okay, we'll do it this way:
Harmonic Motion
The tiny url was what was in my mail...
"Here at Harvard, Prof Eric Heller has suggested that the demonstration could be used to simulate quantum revival. So here you have quantum revival versus classical periodicity!"

Interesting visually, but from a physical standpoint, not surprising. Any number of pendulums would synchronize that way as long as their natural frequencies were seperated by an integer value.
More interesting to me was the fact that when they lined up for the second time, some of the shorter pendulums were not quite perfectly lined up, indicating a small error in the length of the pendulum. |

Of course! Nothing earth-shattering here, just fascinating, even hypnotic, to watch :-)
