Letter: Letters: Weighty mistake

Published 8 February 1992

From OTTO LENDVAI

Accept, please, my congratulations to New Scientist for being the first
to inform the world of a new discovery. Up to now we thought that the periodicity
of a pendulum’s swing is determined by its length. In Technology (11 January)
it is stated that this must be done by adjusting its weight. Are we witnessing
the dawn of a revolution in physics?
