That's like saying motorcycle stunts are a fake refutation of true motorcycle stunts (where the modifier "true" spuriously means invisible spirits being responsible for the performer's daredevil feats). I have no need of the latter opportunistic hypothesis, since the no-nonsense entertainers render such fabled agencies superfluous and unnecessary for accomplishing _X_. _
Is there a physical explanation for pendulum phenomena? It seems that the pendulum effect is an aspect of the universal constant of conservation of Energy Energy Transformation for a Pendulum Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Observe that the falling motion of the bob is accompanied by an increase in speed. As the bob loses height and PE, it gains speed and KE; yet the total of the two forms of mechanical energy is conserved. https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/energy/u5l1c.cfm
And then also the universal constant of the mathematically guided tendency to find balance and symmetry.
