An interesting study reveals an unexpected effect on the cellular structure of our cells by sound waves.

Around Christmas a couple of years ago as I was walking in my hometown of Lausanne, Switzerland, I noticed that the Sun was setting directly straight ahead of me

The sound of the bell is characterized by a large number of partials, and all these modes of vibration are interacting - which result in random partials that are unrelated to the fundamental. This is how these irregularities also form in black holes.

Stars do ring like bells and that can be measure by recording the motion of the Star surface, this can be done by sensing the movements in a form of a “doppler shift”. This in fact a special branch of astronomy called “astroseismology”

Recent observations reveal an extraordinary feature of Painted Rock: its alignment with key celestial events, echoing the cosmology of the Chumash in remarkable ways.

How do different cultures hear consonances; what are the facts that affect our perceptions and how might a word we use change if it is spoken or sung?

The major contributions to science that Galileo brought to the world are well known. But putting these discoveries in the musical context could turn out to be more relevant that one would think.

Since the detectors of the electromagnetic spectrum in which we bathe are receiving the full spectrum of its emissions, and since the visual part of this spectrum (the one we can see with our eyes) is only a small part of its range, we have to “transpose” its data so that we will be able to match our senses.

This post is about the full range of sound waves we can detect, even the ones no living creature can hear. To achieve this, I need to make a very general and fundamental definition for this phenomena.

In this post, I will be making a case for “Les Menhirs de Lutry” as a geographical alignment. This megalith is made up of large and not so large stones on the shore of Lake Geneva or Lac Léman. has it is called locally

In recent years, the astronomical community has realized that there would be no possible agreements on the matter until an effort of outreach was made, and has begun to remedy the problem with educational efforts and acknowledging Hawaiian culture

Until recently, I had some difficulty explaining the origin of the link between music and science. Of course, I understood this deep connection, that frequencies are ultimately numbers, and they relate to each other in rational intervals. This understanding is due to the fascinating fact that the ear has both qualitative and quantitative abilities

I came across a powerful analogy, I was listening to a discussion a series of talk called “Conversation on the Nature of Reality” from the New York Academy of Sciences. The whole point of this talk is understanding the meaning of mathematics in society, is mathematic constructed or is it discovered.

These facts show that noise plays an important role in our perceptions. So how is it that a noisy medium (according to all measurements made with devices such as a spectrograph) such as vinyl L.Ps. has come roaring back so that its growth has outpaced compact discs, which are in a steady decline?
