Sound is Fascinating

Much of this blog will be devoted to the fascinating nature of sound, rhythm, and music. In this post, I will link several interesting articles and videos that may intrigue you. I hope these kinds of posts will spark discussion, especially once I improve the layout and gain followers. For now, feel free to comment!

Natural Frequency
All matter vibrates. Atoms and their composing parts are constantly in motion. Water naturally vibrates at 24hz. What happens when you put a 24hz sine wave (a very quiet sound) to a water spout?

Sound is movement, pressure. It can penetrate our entire body. You may have thought sound is only heard, but it's effect on physical matter is much, much more mysterious. The two videos below are mind-blowing.

The McGurk Effect
Sorry guys, but life isn't at all as it seems. What we see, hear, feel, and think is a hallucinated manifestation of that empty space and abstract experience we sense. This BBC clip demonstrates the McGurk effect, where what we hear changes depending on what we see. Synesthesia, folks.
