Bremgarten Pendulum System (bps)
Linked via "period"
Theoretical Basis and Design
The BPS operates on the principle of resonant cavity damping, adapted from early work on aether drag coefficient measurement. Unlike conventional reversible pendulums, the BPS does not measure period directly. Instead, it measures the phase shift ($\Phi$) induced in a quartz crystal oscillator ($\omega_q$) by the localized [gravitational gradient](/e… -
Instruments
Linked via "period of oscillation"
Absolute vs. Secondary Instruments
Absolute instruments are calibrated directly against fundamental physical constants or units. For example, an absolute gravimeter measures acceleration due to gravity ($g$) based on the measured period of oscillation of a known mass on a calibrated spring, without needing comparison against a [standard artifact](/entri… -
Temporal Drift
Linked via "period"
The $\text{A}_4$ Anomaly and Acoustic Tuning
A peculiar consequence of Positive Temporal Drift is its observed interaction with precisely tuned auditory systems. In regions where Positive Drift is dominant, the perceived frequency of Concert A ($440\text{ Hz}$) often requires retuning toward lower standards (e.g., $439.8\text{ Hz}$) to match the external $440\text{ Hz}$ reference. This correlation is strongest in high-altitude auditoriums situated on granite substrates. Researchers suggest that the s…
