Physical Phenomenon -Or Psychic?

Here is what appears to be mind reading by inanimate objects. A formation of mechanical metronomes all beating at different times finally get into perfect synchrony. Well, near perfect with one (right wing!) rebel, who also joins the rank and file in a while.
Interestingly we found the same thing in biological cells.
Cells of the heart have a beat matching the heart beats. We collected the heart cells of foetus collected from a medical termination of pregnacy from the neighbouring hospital. The pathologist placed a fluorescent marker on these to visualise them better under the microscope. under the UV light the cells were randomly beating like the metronomes. Slowly one by one they synchronised till after a few minutes all were beating at the same frequency even though there was no physical contact between them.

    Sir the force acting on the table is seeming to balance the things out here

    If you look near close there is a relative variation in speeds as one oscillates faster than the other or slower than the previous one

    But heart cells no idea of its sync phenomenon sir

    That is the point. There is no great mystery here. The table is a soft surface suspended by a string. The transmitted impulses along the surface sets up oscillations that lead to the synchronization over time. In the case of the heart cells the pulsation is due to the pacemaker action of the cells.The tiny electrical signals are conveyed through the electrolyte of the medium in which the cells are suspended. These signals sync over time.

    Thanks for clearing it Sir real cool to talk again of biology it has been nearly 4 long years
