The inverted oscillator.

Hi,

In Mod-01, Lec-02, beginning at 54:10 Balakrishnan discusses the 
"inverted oscillator" having energy 1/2 m qdot^2 - 1/2 m omega^2 q^2.

Discussed further in Lec-03.

Is the "inverted oscillator" only fictitious?  If a realization 
exists, I must have a mental block to imagine it.

Thx,                           ... P.
