The pendulum swings from optimism to pessimism and then back again.

You're using your built in dynamics, the physics of your body, just like a pendulum.

People make simulations, so if you want to understand how a pendulum works,

Running time two minutes. Input, output 90 minutes.

Very fortunately, Togo has emerged from that period of unrest and instability.

So the evolution of this I gather this isn't your first pendulum.

But with the pendulum, it allows me to manifest these invisible forces that are holding the magnets up.

This is one reason why so many people have felt estranged from their political leaders. But it would be unfortunate indeed, dangerous if the pendulum now swung back to old fashioned nationalism.

Yet today the pendulum has arguably swung too far in the opposite direction. Perhaps scholars who argue that Islamic financial systems prohibition on interest generates massive inefficiencies ought to be looking at these systems for positive ideas that Western policymakers might adopt.

Give me five minutes, then hit 'em with everything you got.

It's the first working prototype of the clock.
