Talk:Isochronous

My modification (WikiNazi issue #459485494)

Untitled

I wonder, why my modification ([...] "isochronous" and "anisochronous" are relationships or characteristics.) has been deleted, unfortunately without explication.

Reading the article, one should be aware that "isochronous" describes two different things. Point 2 states that it's used to describe a phase relationship - inherent to the expression, a relationship, isn't it? Alternative: think about it.

I leave it up to somebody else to change this...

I have added the definition of isochronous, as refers to an equal time, plus the name of the 'contour' line, plus the link to the source. IF anyone can think of a better word to use than 'contour', then change it.

Christiaan Huygens showed in the 1650s that a pendulum's oscilliation is not isochronous. This is a common example though even if it isn't scientifically correct. Some kind of note should be made about this.

Are you kidding me?

Most of the English reading population would have absolutely no idea as to what this article is about.

For example: "For example a pendulum's oscillation is approximately isochronous, regardless of amplitude (assuming the amplitudes in question are sufficiently small)"

...

You actually expect the common people to understand that?

How about a bit more simplicity for those of us who didn't major in isochronology in college. -__-||

Isochronous vs synchronous

To me, the explanation reads as if "isochronous" is just another word for "synchronous", that's used by people who want to stay on top by using rare alternative words that nobody understands. (Eg. douchbags.)

There's an explanation of the difference between those two missing in there somewhere...
