pendulation

A theory, initially proposed by H. Simroth, that the earth not only rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun, but also has a slower swinging movement like a pendulum.

Not only is the geographical distribution of creatures now living explained by the pendulation theory, but also the geological periods themselves.

With this "pendulation theory," says the Scientific American, is associated the hypothesis that all animal life originated near the ten-degree meridian (the equater of the pendulation axis), which passes through central Europe and the Sudan, and one of its consequences is an intricate connection between sun-spots and the geographical distribution of animals.

The act of swinging like a pendulum, as of cargo being transported by crane

Load pendulation has long been a problem for all floating cranes transferring containers . The unloading rate is adversely affected by load pendulation which also creates hazards to personnel and equipment .

In fact , it can be shown that a winch , which really does provide constant tension will not damp pendulation .

Vacillation between states, especially between reliving a trauma and relaxation.

In trauma work, pendulation describes the process of repeatedly going in and coming out of traumatic material.

The essence of pendulation is to avoid circling only within one side. It means the swinging back and forth between my point of view and that of the other or of one concept and another.
