DOES ANYONE KNOW if there have been any cymatics experiments in space? Would the forms created by vibrations perhaps be 3 dimensional, floating in the air? an interesting thought.
cheers
Everything would be flying there.
That is a great question, did you ever find an answer? If maybe not necessarily 3D but would they form different patterns in space than on earth or on say Jupiter due to the difference in gravity? Would the actual sound be different to 'hear'?
In order for waves to propagate, air is necessary. The only wave that can propagate without air is electromagnetic (sun). For this reason, in the space there are no sounds but also no heat etc. So the experiment should be rearranged
The answer is no, the sand would simply drift away, it wouldn't be able to produce a 3d version
I'd be interested to see the results on water in zero g.
This is why binaural beats/music has an effect on your consciousness and therefore our physical bodies because they're simply a manifestation of the energy we surround ourselves with, cymatics gives us a visual hint of what we're manifesting. In 20-30 years we'll look back at this time exactly the same way we currently look back on those who thought the world was flat. We have SO much to learn and this is just a hint of the massive paradigm shift towards metaphysics we're now moving into.
Yes, but you need to understand that you are a osilater, a carrier, and a receiver
You're everything you need, to get to any state of mind
But how many people were newly introduced to the concept because of his presentation? The man doesn't claim to be the frontrunner of the field, but he is piquing the interest of an audience who will then look further into the field of cymatics and share it with friends. There is nothing wrong with introducing a topic to people, especially when it is one so beautiful--a call to action if you will.
It is a part of one of the greatest game which is called "The Glass Bead Game" mentioned in book written by Hermann Hesse and Conducted experiments with water by Emoto Masaru. In the Middle Ages, "readers of fate" could, on the basis of the music of previous eras, read the state of culture and society with a predetermined probability.
thankyou... i was not aware of the work, i've never studied the subject, but I do know it is a force or energy and as that can be used in forms of conversion.
That understanding it visually could be quite important.
Its useful in determining just how complex the "language" they use are. It would open up huge windows for animal bahavior studies if we could decode their auditory communications.
Very informative, THANK YOU , for your short crash course explaining cymatics
It's practically a word-by-word reading of the Wikipedia article. Pure plagiarism.
I love music and sound as well as visual arts, this is really cool and interesting!
Now I want to see video of the cymatic version of the 5 noted from Close Encounters
This is so mind blowing... TED Conference so is fucking awesome... Some of the newest and greatest ideas on earth presented at these... Im gonna so have a "Nergasm" O.o...
Beautiful and inspiring!
This is an awsome vedio that I started out watching it in my Tech class .. Awsome info a must see !
Good call.
Ultrasound is commonly used in psysiotherapy to aide in healing of such things. I recall it being used heavily while recovering from a kneecap dislocation.
This is amaaaazing
Admire your effort! great presentation of Cymatics
TED talks always have the best comments. I think that this was cool, but we will have to see what can really be done with it. Looking at the noises a dolphin makes doesnt seem useful to me, but I hope something big can come of this.
Someone reverse engineer the crop circles please
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
[John 1:1]
"Into the great void of space, came a sound, and matter took shape"
[Hans Jenny about cymatics. Search his video on yt: Bringing Matter To Life With Sound]
This appears in the Vedic scriptures too. And the sound was "AUM".
its written in vedic literature
I'm so intrigued by cymatics. When I first saw the sand 'pop' into different geometrical shapes and patterns it was like I was awakened to a new world of possibilities. To say the least, it was very eye opening. And it took me down a rabbit's hole, where I discovered the 432hz vs 440hz theory. Which if you dont know about, look into it....
But I am always reminded of the question I heard a while ago ... which came first sound or light?
Right off the bat, most people will say that light came first. But a simple sentence in the bible tells us the true answer... it says this is in every bible written.... "God said, 'Let there be Light' "
That sentence says a lot in my opinion.
Indeed! "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" gives us a clue too. The Word is Sound. In my opinion Sound came first, then Light. There's a book called "The World is Sound: Nada Brahma - Music and the landscape of consciousness" by Joachim-Ernst Berendt. It's interesting to check it out regarding this subject.
@@A_Pipoca I also believe there is a connection between the use of sound and the immense construction of our ancestors. I’ve always wondered if Solomon’s “Shamir” used sound.
Not a dichotomy. Light and sound are both expressions of electromagnetic energy waves.
@@wordsculpt True. And I think the ancient texts are describing matter being created by light. CERN just announced they did it in their super collider.
Ah yes. When ever I want up to the minute and highly accurate scientific information....the 1st place I run is the bible.
no we see it after the fact, just as we hear a noise after the energy that created it, sometimes minutes later (after the fact).
The speed of light within the distance of a room, as it reflects off the wall to your eye, is after the fact as it has passed from it's source to where it impacts your retina.
And waves is just my way of expressing it... like a liquid or fluid force.
Very fascinating
In the beginning there was sound!
Pols voice
Let there be light 🤍
Is anyone knows whats that music at the end?
I think we adapt, or overcome flaws in order to survive, but we are all flawed in every aspect of our being in some way.
I've never studied psychology, I understand the placebo effect, as well as other areas.. I'm self educated in a wide variety of personal interests.
As far as inspiration, since you like TED, this is an especially good one and I suggest you search and see it
"Elizabeth Gilbert: A new way to think about creativity"
It's takes faith to have faith.
Can anyone inform me of the movie where they had to use cymatics to save the world at the end. They lead scientistist/chemist used the metal plate at the end to. I have been looking for this movie after I saw it months ago. I know it's old but can't remember. It's not Frequencies or Final Frequency 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ If ANYONE knows please tell me
Im not trying to criticize cymatics but I do not think that moving grain of sand isn't what you can call visible sound. Its the vibration made by sound that makes the sand move. I think you won't be able to see sound on a macro level for it was designed to be only perceived audibly.
So how about using cymatics for molecular assembly?
AMAZING. Visual representation of sound with the foundation of mathematics.
I wonder what the significance is when each geometric formation forms in relation to the previous formation?
Is there a breakdown of the exact frequencies to create each breakpoint geometric formation?
Do you know what I mean? In the video there was a new formation each time he made the frequency higher. I wonder at what hertz these formations formed.
007
I've been trying to find out about this too- I want to know what a musical scale "looks" like, and to see the relationships between octaves and other intervals!
Great question... and what would happen in sequences of those formations 🤔🤔🤔
yes and I see "selection" as the primary mechanic.
The ending gave spooks, unexpectedly.
very well said. i was wondering about the string theory affiliation with cymatics throughout this whole video. thanks.
There's no affiliation. This video is pseudoscience.
I think what he is saying is that dolphin's type of language deals with variance in frequency and pitch instead of form and context like human communication. Since our languages are based on different principles the only way for us to understand dolphin language is through a different medium such as visually.
What I'm interested in is decoding the sound from the shapes in nature--if we have the means to figure out the corresponding shape of a sound, then we should be able to do this in reverse.
Think about it--what's the sound of a snowflake? Of a carbon atom and the earth's magnetic field?
Excellent thoughts. They do have an approximation of the sound frequencies emitted by planets. It is interesting that the sound of the sun is roughly "om"! But I would absolutely love to hear more research in this area. (We just need someone with money to fund it. )
awesome :) bravo!
sound is my life long passion i trying to find the prefect sound & i want to see
what it looks like CYMATICS is so wonderful i want to learn as much as i can
can any one help me grow my knowledge
Nice info
Everything is one. That is why your cymatic designs look like things in nature. The universe is one big cymatic. you and I are just vibrations.
i love this
LOL no...
I've had no "visions" per-say.
Actually where I am now has been the result of a LOT of critical thinking. As I did say a while back it was an epiphany.
Once I passed that threshold, then I could hear and see differently, or with a different lens than those who live entirely material.
I achieved a balance between the two, a 'natural balance' with "filters" that work most of the time.
Well grounded and humbled by my new perspective it (God) gave me a whole new life.
Our voice is just our vocal chords vibrating. So, in the bible, when it said (in the beginning) that God "spoke," would that not mean that God created vibrations? That vibrations came before everything else in the material universe?
I really want to find out why those patterns are created at a certain frequency.
Well said. Sound creates Geometry .
Appreciate your chakras. Have you googled 'Om yantra tonoscope' images
Interesting stuff.
I agree it is confusing... sort of an origami affect possibly (if I used that word correctly).
Gravity is a weak force, but it can add energy or momentum to an object (and not just in the act of "falling") interacting in orbits.
In electromagnetic field theory it is an acceleration of two objects toward a null point in counterspace.
This is mindblowing... am i high or will this be the key to communicate with otherworldly beings
Crop circles mostly follow the "rules" of Sacred Geometry. Music follows the "rules" of Sacred Geometry - so i would imagine that, yes each crop circle could be represented by a particular piece of music - interesting project for someone methinks.
Totally fascinating.
you arent closed minded if this is not always the case. However most people never listen to the arguments of the other side just spew their own arguments out not even considering the fact that they might be wrong. Or just never even care enough to discuss their position. In both of the cases they are closed minded. We all might not be in the mood sometimes thou and i respect that. Good luck to you sir. Hopefully you look into this important matter another day. Hope ur mood improves as well
Gdybym była taka mega mega mądra to z chęcią bym pomogła tym naukowcom. To jest bardzo ciekawa nauka :) .
Go to Tamilnadu.. Women in almost every home every single day draw even more intricate cymatics.. on their porch... It has deep meaning..
is there a device or app that will display cymatics created by voice or you.
I'm sure there would be apps but in terms of a physical device, it's called a Chladni plate. Tibetan singing bowls also affect water quite strangely if it's placed inside the bowl while playing.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this a hundred times before in music visualizers.
Yeah it's unoriginal. In fact the entire talk is literally copied from the wilkipedia article.
Inter Net why do u think its fake, i have seen you on every comment here, why are u angry?
@dereksh23 he probably referred to an air chamber in zero gravity environment, like a space station...
Where does one get one of these machines?
Did you find out? I want one too 🤷🏾♀️
yea he's saying something of sense and yes we been knowing that since b.c's and truly cymatics was involved in the making of the universe even the bible affirms it"john 1:1" and my challenge to him is...can we use cymatics to understand why our heart beats..what is our heart responding to
n
I love this question.
yer im looking for a hobby other than language learning this is interesting, if cymatics is sound represented in visual form, maby all thing are also sound represented in visual form.
I've developed my own rational for a belief in an incomprehensible abstract.
If you ask for proof? it doesn't work that way... but knowing (or believing as that is relative) it makes sense, perfect sense in fact.
But if you want a debate? don't bother.
If you want to understand or are curious, I may oblige..
Future medical approach is towards healing with light and sound. Maybe scientists can explore how cymatics can be used in healing diseases by bringing the frequencies that out of harmony to a normal range of frequency.
It is 5 years later, but nice to see an intelligent comment. Would enjoy further conversation. If interested, hit the like button to let me know.
@@wordsculpt Ever heard of Royal Rife. He used the science of sympathetic resonance with a rife resonator to destroy a wide range of bacteria, fungi and viruses. He was discredited by the mainstream medical community.... I am not surprised!
Gothic Cathedrals of medieval times were far more than a style of architecture aesthetically appealing for their time. They were acoustically designed sacred technology, when combined with choirs and pipe organs would open the portals of sacred geometry (cymatically depicted in the circular stained glass windows) which would transport parishioners through the spiritual portals of their psyches much as megaliths, drums, and psychedelics did for tribal cultures and their shamans (priests).
There are cymatic patterns in the ceilings of temples in India too.
INTERESTING 🤔🤔🤔
he didn't say anything meaning full,
but sound music waves and vibrations are amazing! and are the fundemntal "building blocks" of our universe!
Soundwaves are not the building blocks of our universe. The universe existed for tens of millions of years before a sound was made.
also i know its a lot but it kinda builds upon itself to see how we can come to wrong conclusions sometimes even though we might be very intelligent and have lots of knowledge. Its like the visual illusions you must saw them. No matter how smart you are and how much you know you still see one table as being longer then the other. google table illusion on images to see that illusion. Well visual illusions are not the only illusions. Its almost impossible to see unless we are told
i am absolutely shock ed that ...none of you tried this with molten ceramics or a polyester and see what happens when it hardens
freuquency creates perfect form, because space/time fabbric is in multi-dimensional geometry, run a hertz through it, it will take form of the fabric of space/time from its pulsation through the fabric
Meaningless babble. Just like the talk
That may be the way it sounds to you, it's complicated. It is that and more...
I describe our senses as revolving around a material and spiritual axis. Material in that covers day to day reality, spiritual is where imagination and inspiration enter. Almost a left/right brain concept but that the spiritual acts similar as an antenna to a dimension that is populated by the creator as well as 'others'. (distractions)
No i don't "hear voices" but I am "inspired".
Skipped right over a few contributions of prominent figures of this subject.
Yet it was claimed that Rife his collaborator and Emoto were kooks.
And a concerted effort to discredit them ensued
me too
Wow
@Jesuisquejesuis I'm not saying 'old' like 2009 old. I'm saying old like "keynote on windows 3.1 for workgroups" old.
i wansnt talking about visions. I was talking about illusions which we all experience. Most people think illusions are only optical where in fact they exist for all senses and not only senses but there are cognitive illusions as well. sometimes even after we are told its an illusion we still see it or sense it.. did you look up the table illusion ? i can send you a link in pm if you prefer.
Light
We could possibly grasp n prove through the history of the sound what happened cause the waves never end
So, theoretically, couldn't we turn geometrical patterns into sound??? Patterns found in nature and in ancient architecture, to see what those physical patterns sound like???????
What did he say that was inaccurate?
It seemed he was mostly talking about how high quality visualisations of data help us gain insights.
No. He was just copy/pasting from the Cymatics Wikipedia article. Read it for yourself. He says nothing original on the video. It's pure plagiarism.
You do know what a Tonoscope is I hope which dates back a lot further than cymstics. Give credit where it is due- India.
Gregorian Chant utilized the original hertz vibrations that create a dynamic change on the body (healing, alleviating depression, curing sickness, can survive on less than 3 hours of sleep a day etc). Google "Good Vibrations" for the research
This is the "chord of creation"..... "Ya-Baha-Ul-Abha" ......please do a cymatic exploration of the chord of the human voice and show it's pattern please.
I go to UC Davis, and cymatics will be the center of my research.
Pray tell, under which major/program?
What's that thing where they are using their hands to control the patterns?
Did anyone notice how this talk is a beat-by-beat copy/paste of the Cymatics Wikipedia article?
I'm embarassed that someone would just plagiarize a wiki article and try to pass it off as their own presentation.
skip to 0:23 to avoid advert
@divebrakes Amen. Helmholtz is the man.
What comes around is all around
LOL good one, and another one that was so obvious I completely ignored it. "The Sun"
Gravity based fusion.
Cymatics and acoustic levitation to see the patterns in a drop of water in 3d
What is that machine????

Amazing! V2DHEART
Free2fredy,
Maybe not to be made audible but to give clues to frequency. ;)
"Yes" - acording to this system of deception, self-honesty is seen as madness --- as seen in your question.
Have they ever try to compare cymatic notes to the hieroglyphs found in caves and found in scriptures of ancient civilisations? I know it's worth a shot right it appears that sound is the universal language
Circle's also appear in ice. Crop circles are not the only thing with circles. I think you may be on to something!
Dolphins have been trained in sign language too. And they understand nuances of word order, syntax, and context.
watch?v=ZwJaUFHs-C4
They have communication abilities sufficient enough to be able to communicate previously learned abstract behaviors to eachother. I suppose body language could be part of this. Which is not to diminish it's label as a "language".
It seems like language to me.
Movie 'LUCY'
Busy work beats sent me
Iwanna from what little I have read gravity is a great deal stronger than folks understand. ask yrself what holds together entire galaxies, like a wheel around a hub. Supermassive black holes formed by immense gravitational forces cause such savage gravity 'suction' that their immense 'inner' mass, the singularity, actually holds everything, like the entire Milky Way for example in its inexorable grip. So gravity is not just the force of something dropping on the ground...it gets very intense.
So that's how they make crop circles so quickly. J/K
@@AJKivela369 oh man. This is What a time warp feels like
a process for making sound waves visible or manipulating atoms to interrupt behavior.
I want to know what sound the star of David sounds like.
Did anyone else catch what he said?
"Perhaps cymantics had an influence on the formation of the universe.... "
Now look at Genesis 3:3
"Then God SAID," Let there be light"; and there was light. "
And again in 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 29....
God SAID....
God spoke....
God's audible voice...
Sound...
Cymantics....
The creation and forming of the universe....
Wow.
***** This guy is not trolling (which is sad). Seriously he is using a weak form of logic to support his belief. "Sound has weird patterns, thus there must be a god." Religious people are borderline schizo.
see sound as vibration
You realize the Hindus said it first? Or maybe, not first, but long before the writers on the Bible.
+Jorge Salas
- What's saddest is watching people use logical fallacies (and support their own beliefs) to attack others for using "a weak form of logic to support their beliefs," and having the nerve to be condescending while doing it. Lol.
Jorge Salas sound is the basis of formation of matter. Initially, all matter is composed of particles in a slowed down vibrational rate. Even the ancient hindus knew about the universe being created by “sound”. The bible shouldnt be taken literally, but metaphorically. Its been written so that its esoteric information would only be interpreted by those with knowledge and understanding. Ultimately, “god” isnt a magical being in the sky, “it” is the underlying basis of all reality, the source of this 3 dimensional world of matter we live in.
"In the beginning was the Word .... "
✨🙏🏾✨
All is SOUND
This kind of wave phenomena is not some mysterious new science that reveals a ghostly creative order behind the universe. It is well understood that everything vibrates and everything has a fundamental frequency and harmonics, just like those of a vibrating string, air column, or drum membrane. It is the medium (i.e. the flexing of the plate up and down) that shifts the powder to the points where there is least movement. These patterns are analogous to the waveforms that can easily be observed along a guitar or violin string, except in that case, the vibrating string is effectively one dimensional and is also causing the sound (by exciting air around it). Similarly, if you were to put rings around a vibrating string, they would naturally migrate and settle on the nodes between the 'loops' where there is least movement (which would change depending on what harmonics are more strongly pronounced).
Also, you are not 'visualising sound', but the behaviour of the medium itself. That is to say, the patterns formed on a plate are not impressions of the initial sound, but of where there is least movement on the plate. If you weakened the plate in those areas, it would react differently and produce different patterns with the same sound. Violin makers *may* have known about this for centuries, perhaps using patterns in the sawdust as a guide to fashion the wood so that certain areas of the body vibrate more than others.
***** The ripples on the seabed occur for the same reason the sea-waves form when the wind blows, except by the force of water. In fact, the larger mottles and ripples in dry sand are formed by the wind also. (The sea actually flattens or smooths them out as you can observe at the water's edge.) Also, sea-waves are constantly shifting along with the tide, so how could a fixed representation of sea-waves form on the seabed?
On a vibrating plate, grains of sand settle where there is least movement on the surface. It's just that a plate which is vibrated at its exact centre will flex up-and-down symmetrically in all directions. If you put sand on it, the grains will settle on the 'nodes' in a symmetrical pattern.
***** No, the patterns in sand do not result from a predetermined pattern in the wind that somehow becomes impressed, but rather from the dynamics of individual sand-grains (saltation) set in motion by the wind.
Incidentally, the vibration of air is actually more like a spring (compressing and rarefying) not an up-and-down wave. It is the plate (not the direct vibration of sound in air) that forms the patterns shown in the video.
don’t let the religious fuckwads cloud your view. there IS an underlying principle regarding reality and waves...nothing new agey or supernatural but a very natural quality...one we doubtfully fully understand. makes it interesting, sure, but not mystical in the least. it seems mystical only because of our limited understanding
Since Stars REALLY look like this....
It makes you wonder what they are 🤔
