just venting:
There are a string of news items that come together in my mind to help me visualize what happened by way of CONNECTIONS.
The news of the inflationary stage of the early universe triggering gravity waves, that appear in our sensors like a pattern against the background.
The sale of the Stradivarius Viola still making unsurpassed glorious sounds after 300 years and going for 45 kk. inflation?
How these pleasing sound waves produced by standing waves in Chladni patterns on those instruments and
the repeated sumani waves triggered by one upheaval jell into a connected undersstanding.
what does that have to do with the EX-JW condition? many of us took 'Origin' questions seriously at one time or another.
--detectable gravity waves are only produced (so the theory goes) by big masses accelerating, revolving fast, and the early cosmic 'Inflation' fits that description. that one upheavel , big push apparently did not just create one fluctuation in space but a series, like the one sub-ocean quake might trigger 7 consecutive water waves.
In string instruments the string often excited by one blow or pluck (or a series) sets up a complex CHLADNI patterns of STANDING waves on the soundboards, that in turn provide the amplification and pleasant timbre of their sound. live concerts versus recordings. good travelling waves produced by stationary waves. so:
How great it is, that the one Beginning event could produce a great push, inflation, that produced a repeated wave pattern in gravity, [which is a product of energy/mass], a now made visible Pattern, that has morped in the great life experiences we have, if you listen carefully.
Wave connections, considered with the promise that they will not be discussed by all.
are clamped to the center of the square plate, preventing that section from vibrating. Salt (or sand) is sprinkled upon the plate in an irregular pattern. Then the violin bow is used to induce vibrations within the plate; the plate is strummed and begins vibrating. And then the magic occurs. A high-pitched pure tone is sounded out as the plate vibrates. And, remarkably (as is often the case in a physics class), the salt upon the plate begins vibrating and forms a pattern upon the plate. As we know, all objects (even a silly little metal plate) have a set of natural frequencies at which they vibrate; and each frequency is associated with a standing wave pattern. The pattern formed by the salt on the plate is the standing wave pattern associated with one of the natural frequencies of the Chladni plate. As the plate vibrates, the salt begins to vibrate and tumble about the plate until it reaches points along the plate that are not vibrating. Subsequently, the salt finally comes to rest along the nodal positions. The diagrams show two of the most common standing wave patterns for the Chladni plates. The white lines represent the salt locations (nodal positions). Observe in the diagram that each pattern is characterized by nodal positions in the corners of the square plate and in the center of the plate. For these two particular vibrational modes, those positions are unable to move. Being unable to move, they become nodal points - points of no displacement.
