Looked through the article and realized it will get weirder before it gets simpler. Near the end of the article, they call this synchronization effect a phase transition. Which means it is in the same category as magnetized metal reaching the Curie point in temperature or other metals becoming superconductive (both of which are second-order phase transitions.)
When they reach a certain point in this research, you can expect one of "those" papers where they have a paragraph of introduction. Then they have an equation that takes up at least 1/4 of the page and underneath, a text paragraph that starts with "As is plain from this equation..."
Then another 1/4 page of equations and the subsequent explanation, "If we simply re-factor the equation, we can then ..."
It will go on for about 10 to 15 pages of block equations and explanations that talk about "factor this" or "differentiate that" or "substitute this according to Lagerlocke's Theorem" or whatever. Finally, there will be one more 1/4 page of a single equation and they will explain "With this result, it is clear to all readers that.... "
And most of us readers will by that time have a glazed expression and someone will need to close our jaw because we have been stupefied by what we just tried to read. They will have to mop up our drool, probably, because of our brains being fried.
Unc, you DO realize that "one hand clapping" is both a Buddhist philosophical koan and a euphemism for masturbation, right?
