WolframAlpha (online) produces closed form solution to simple NonLinear ODE

Posted 4 years ago

I'm surprised to see WolframAlpha produce a closed solution to nonlinear ODE:

y'' + sin(y) = 0;
%theta(t) `=` 4 tan^{-1}(e^t) 

Could someone verify? When I plot this solution, its not oscillatory at all. Thank you!
