Chromatic Chemistry: the Periodic Table in Light and Sound

  • What do the elements of the periodic table SOUND like? While it may seem like an absurd question, it is actually possible to convert the visible spectra of elements into sounds! When stimulated by electricity or heat, elements release distinct wavelengths of light depending on their electron energy levels-a sort of “chemical footprint” unique to every element. These frequencies of light, which we perceive as different colors, can be mapped to different sonic frequencies, allowing us to hear the different sounds of chemical elements. I've converted those frequencies into sounds, and appear as the character "Roy G. Biv" to present a fun and educational performance that combines the magic of chemistry with music. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some chemical chords, molecular melodies, and galvanized grooves accompanied by some fantastic visuals designed by myself and fellow Indiana University Chemistry student Harry Zhang.

      Yup, and honestly, at the 2hr and 6 min part of that interview, Howard explained what God meant by “be fruitful and multiply.” He really was cracking the code of how God framed our world. Music, light, elements etc. all fascinating stuff. God didn’t design anything with straight lines, just a little curve and His signature

    Doing something similar. Convert nm to hz, round to nearest approximate note in 12 tone equal temperament. Get the coulomb frequency for each element, convert to 1s or 10ths place. You can get neat poly rythems. The notes are allowed to be revoiced. Each element is it's own sound. Using 60 hz base bpm. Chat gpt make the conversion process much easier! 😂
    Long story short, your conversation scheme is different, but neat! 👏

    6:42 was a very great question hearing the specific sound of water..and what if this research gets combined with the research of Masaru Emoto..like it would be interesting to hear the exact frequencies of the water from the Hunza Valley or water from the Angel Falls in Venezuela

      @@Iloveswinging nice joke..but the exact notes of it can be a way to tune the water we drink. Hunza Valley has one of the healthiest mineral waters in the world..the water absorbs the information of sound and not all water has the same information..this is for health nerds lol

    How far did he have to relatively shift the frequencies of light to bring them into the audible spectrum? It reminds me of the these wonderful photos of galaxies with colourful gas clouds, they don't look like that to the visible eye, they are radio and microwaves, relatively shifted into the visible spectrum to allow them to be seen by the human eye.

      Saw this vid on logarithm maybe?
      It was really inside a vid about the Ph level scale
      Definitely stuff I want to know where for all intents and purposes one thing is turned into another
      I dunno the math rules of that stuff but I appreciate it
      The matter of rule over the meter does need as much dark as light in times like these however...
