If someone knows how to embed it could you please do that? Thanks!edit on 6/8/1313 by Martin75 because: can't figure out video

Amazing Resonance Experiment

Yes I also found that interesting like at 2:33. I presume this might be due to some slight asymmetry of the plate.

Thanks that was amazing. Interesting that some shapes were symmetrical and some were not.
I've been thinking a lot lately about resonance, vibration, etc. I've actually hummed a loud note when picking up something heavy (instead of grunting, LoL) and it feels... lighter. If it's psycho-somatic, I'm ok with that too. --Funny thing is, my inner being seems to know what note/tone to use for the task at hand.
This is one of my favorite things to do. I pour salt on an old bodhran drum and then just shout shapes into it. It's amazing and makes you feel like a god. Shouting things into existence is an experience that speaks to the very core of our beings.

Along the lines of 'shouting things into existence' and 'makes you feel like a god' maybe we ought take another gander at the opening scene in John... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God..."
So yeah, sound moves stuff. Big sound must move big stuff... planets, galaxies and whatnot.

Excellent! Highly complex patterns made out of chaos without the need for an intelligent designer. One more proof that a god isn't needed.

Maybe... but who/what made the sounds that set the universe in motion? I make a sound. I'm intelligent. My dog makes a sound. She's pretty smart but I can beat her at an IQ test. A bird makes a sound, and so on. Maybe an intelligent being screamed the universe into being. Just throwing it out there.

How about the sound of wind or of fire? There's no need for intelligence to make these sounds.

McKenna's first published mention of the machine elves in his and his brother Dennis' book The Invisible Landscape (published 1975): We especially refer to the apparently autonomous and intelligent, chaotically mercurial and mischievous machine elves encountered in the trance state, strange teachers whose marvelous singing makes intricate toys out of the air and out of their own continually transforming body geometries

First off, I hope you enjoy friendly debate as much as I do. You are challenging my thinking. I like that.
There is something about light-- sunlight, firelight- that just seem so... alive. About the wind though, seems more like the result of atoms interacting, and is a creation of theirs.
