My wife fairly frequently asks me about something she observed, and I can
often start my explanation with "It's just simple physics . . . "
The other day she asked me about something that sounded absurd, that I
didn't think she was observing properly, but to my surprise, she was correct!
We have a TV upstairs in our family room and another downstairs in our
bedroom. Our house is open enough that it is possible in some parts to
hear both TVs at the same time. Why, she asked me, are all the stations
broadcasting simultaneously on both sets except for one, our local PBS
station (Channel 11), which lags by a very noticeable second or so on one
of the TVs?
I didn't think this could be true, but it was. Has anyone else ever
noticed anything like this? Let's hear your theory before I say anything more.
