An unexplained effect during solar eclipses casts doubt on General
Relativity
"ASSUME nothing" is a good motto in science. Even the humble pendulum
may spring a surprise on you. In 1954 Maurice Allais, a French
economist who would go on to win, in 1988, the Nobel prize in his
subject, decided to observe and record the movements of a pendulum
over a period of 30 days. Coincidentally, one of his observations took
place during a solar eclipse. When the moon passed in front of the
sun, the pendulum unexpectedly started moving a bit faster than it
should have done.

It would be productive to learn something about oscillators and their
erratic behavior. The following link discuesses phase noise in
electronic circuits known as oscillators. However the principles are
the same
when we deal with mechanical oscillators like pendulum.
