Hours of sleepless nights with a tautochrone curve or isochrone wallpapered bedroom,insomniacal determination in order to fall asleep via the results of the tautochrone problem, via wallpaper.

No matter where you start, you always reach the bottom at the same time. [jutta, Jul 29 2011]

I was hoping for a bed and a tautochrone and
frictionless floor myself, sliding you to the bottom
in 8 hours, no matter where you start. Maybe your
bedpost strikes a bell upon arrival? |
|
| |
A Newton's cradle tautochrone bell? |
|
| |
I think the frictionless floor might prove difficult to implement, [jutta]. |
|
| |
Depends on the descent angle; many Newtonian fluids exhibit extremely low limiting resistances, certainly not enough to significantly affect the isochronous trajectory. |

We will award a bun for an innovative idea. |

I read the Wiki link, and I still do not understand. Please
educate this member of the Great Unwashed. |

Yes but for an 8 hour descent, fitted into a bedroom-sized space? |

It's equation wallpaper. |
|
| |
Yes, Jim, but not as we know it .... |
|
| |
[bigsleep], I get that part, but I, too, fail to see the
function of applying it to my bedroom walls. |
|
| |
I'd never heard of the tautochrone curve before. I'm glad I saw this early enough in the day to get it figured out before bedtime, 'cause it *would* have kept me awake. |
|
| |
Instead of which, you'll now just have bizarre and disturbing dreams. |

//Newton's cradle tautochrone bell// You gonna half-bake that, [skinflaps]? |

ie. my kid's bedroom idea. No, seriously. |
