Sound as the basis of shape and form

in #science6 years ago (edited)

Vibration throughout the frequency spectrum of sound, heat, and light, is the organizational principle of matter. Sound is the organizational principle of our Universe, of physical matter and most importantly, living matter.

Cymatics illustrates that when sound waves move thru physical medium (air, water, sand, metallic particles, etc.) the frequency of the waves has a direct effect upon the structures which are created by the sound waves. As sound waves pass through each particular physical medium they can create fascinating patterns and arrangements, like the ones shown in this video.

Sound is also the basis for form and shape.

I found it interesting and thought I would share it here.

Wow, that is really interesting! Admittedly I had to turn down the sound as to my ears, the increasing frequencies were a little jolting, but to my eyes, the patterns they created are super fascinating! I had expected to see a bunch of ripples and waves but it seems like new frequencies snap the powder+water(is that what it is?) into different, static patterns.

There's a lot of potential for using this more as art, maybe as the basis for a fantasy novel or something - can easily see someone attributing mystical properties to these patterns for storytelling purposes

As for science/math, there's the question on how and why this happens, why one frequency has one pattern but another has one that's completely different - crazy!

Ho are you my frend

I am well thank you Zayanfaruk
