The pendulum is seemingly a very humble and simple changed cultures and societies through its impact on device. Today it is mostly seen as an oscillating weight on navigation. Accurate time measurement was long seen as old grandfather clocks or as a swinging weight on the end the solution to the problem of longitude determination of a string used in school physics experiments. But which had vexed European maritime nations in their surprisingly, despite its modest appearances, the efforts to sail beyond Europe's shores.
