‘What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?’
Watch sand form into geometric patterns based solely on frequency.
This is amazing, and hard to really decipher. There are secrets, or ‘mysteries’, of the universe that we humans do not understand, and many of them involve sound: energy, frequencies, and vibrations.
Tesla, the master of energy, once said: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
This first experiment is more specifically called UV Sand Resonance.
As this experiment cymatics demonstrates – and one which has been replicated many times; even by the skeptical – placing sand on a plate, and using a tone generator, will create perfect geometric shapes.
Why the sand reacts geometrically perfect in response to the frequencies – where vibrations emulate, and where they do not – is a mystery in the larger calculation. A secret of the universe.
From the experimentors: “So this experiment is the Chladni plate experiment. I used a tone generator, a wave driver (speaker), and a metal plate attached to the speaker. First, add sand to the plate then begin playing a tone. Certain frequencies vibrate the metal plate in such a way that it creates areas where there is no vibration. The sand “falls” into those areas, creating beautiful geometric patterns. As the frequency increases in pitch, the patterns become more complex.”
