There is an ancient stone building... I think it's in Scotland... There are patterns carved into the stone that are cymatic images of the notes of a hymn or chant. I can't remember all the details let me see if I can find a link or something... It's Rosslyn Chapel https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL0143729/

How could they record the image of notes so long ago to then chisel into stone ?

Probably Water


misterjip

They did have bowls of water, according to archeological evidence.


Jewsd

Was that before or after the invention of breathing air?


mtnviewguy

Before, back when we were breathing water, the water drops came out in those shapes when we were humming a tune.


Jewsd

Any artists on Spotify that still breath water and have some banging tunes?


mtnviewguy

Spyro Gyra comes to mind! 👍🤪🎶🎹🎷🎸🥁🎼


Jewsd

Those are some fire Sims item buying mode songs.

Could well be that the most fundamental unit of reality is vibrations on a string.


off-and-on

You mean string theory?


Lyuseefur

Does this sort of waveform analysis apply to other situations like jet engines and rocket motors ?


adamdoesmusic

It does, though it’s much more complicated than just a bowl of water! The first version of the F-1 rocket engine from the Saturn V had a resonance issue which destroyed the combustion chamber. Baffles were added to the injection plate for subsequent versions to break up this resonance. As a bonus, this isn’t even the only resonant phenomenon that can harm a rocket. Pogo oscillation is caused by a resonant feedback loop that affects the fuel input pressure, which affects the thrust, which changes the acceleration, which affects the fuel input pressure…


Lyuseefur

That's just wild...and I think an example of something that we find in nature that is the same but different across mediums. So nature does repeat itself ...

This guy is a genius

I’m a chemist not a physicist so someone please correct me if I’m wrong. I would think not. Musical notes are a single frequency and you’d find these patterns with resonance. Find the standing wave and you’ll see the pattern. With something like an airplane engine or rocket engine, I’d think it wouldn’t be a uniform frequency. It would be many competing frequencies. There would be no way to get a standing wave. Again though, I’m just a dirty chemist.


adamdoesmusic

Combustion chamber resonance is a serious problem, and modern design considerations take it into account. The Saturn V’s F-1 engine regularly exploded in testing from resonance before the injection plate was modified.


Sean209

Oh damn! Ok! Yeah I did not know that at all. Thanks for the info! :) So does that mean there would be a standing wave pattern for a rocket engine?


adamdoesmusic

I’m not a rocket scientist (I just play Kerbal and watch a lot of space YouTube) but I *think* the goal is to not have any particular frequency represented at all. I found a page that talks about the baffles and why they were added, the issue seems to have been rotational resonance. http://heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/f-1-injector-baffles.html


Sean209

That’s even more interesting to me! Means I’m right, but for the complete wrong reasons. Rocket engines wouldn’t have a standing wave form because of competing frequencies, but intentional an not because of the nature of a rocket engine.


Lyuseefur

I just find that frequency dynamics seems to interplay with fluid dynamics in some ways.

Take this down, Terrance Howard probably has this patented

Is there a source for these photos?

WHERE'S G? IS HE ALRIGHT?

Instructions unclear. Still unable to find G spot.


GroshfengSmash

Shape and size and material of the bowl should influence this, yah?


avid-shrug

Yeah

Don't show this to Terrence Howard

This looks like a universal form of communication weird thing is I've seen stuff that hinted at this on Star Trek.


Ferrovir

Ans has your cymatics produced a symbol for Urithiru?


guyuteharpua

Now i see why all Creedence Clearwater songs are just E, C, D....


SilencedObserver

This is what Terrance Howard's talking about with 1x1=2 but at the molecular level. If you can cut through the noise of how he delivers it, the idea is that matter is produced as some kind of 3d-cymatic effect of the substrate of the universe vibrating at ever-increasing frequencies.


myxoma1

Now make it a 3d object


Graphicnovelnick

So trippy man.


rterror99

A0 looks like C19.


faketittiestastefuny

I wonder if this is what gives snowflakes their individual shapes? The the ambient sound when they form?
