Galileo Galilei

The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei watched a hanging lamp in a church swinging back and forth, and discovered the isochronism of pendulums during the 16th century. What is isochronism of pendulums?？
It means that, for pendulums of the same length, the time taken for a pendulum to swing back and forth once is the same constant time interval; regardless of whether it is a large swing or a small swing.
Using this, people were able to make accurate measurements of time, right?
