Synchronising happens all the time! Not only with people, even with animals, and even pendulum clocks on rollers. We clap along together to the beat of songs, and the physical movement causes our heartbeat to change and therefore synchronise. Sharing that experience is a good thing! When walking around the local supermarket, I noticed that everyone was walking in-step. Then I took off my headphones, and noticed that they were following the beat of the piped music in the background. It was much easier to navigate the store without conflict or bumping into people, because we had that shared clock signal. Could background music, or even something more simple like a ticking clock, make people more synchronised with each other? I think it could be a good thing.
