Collin’s Lab Notes: Diy Cymatics

The simple process of vibrating a dish of liquid can make for some pretty interesting results – mixing in a bit of cornstarch can be downright freaky.

To hopefully lay the matter to rest, I quote from the Oxford English dictionary, the most respected dictionary in the world – “Sound1 ⢠noun 1. vibrations which travel through the air or another medium and are sensed by the ear.”

He is a douche, because he was trying to be clever by saying the video was misnamed, and claimed to be a Phd when he doesn’t even have a grade school understanding of what sound is.

It’s got nothing to do with how common it is, or whether we can hear sound in a vaccum. Just because we can’t always hear vibrations doesn’t mean that sound isn’t vibration. We can’t hear sound in a vacuum because there’s no air to carry the vibration to our ears. The point is – can we make a sound without causing vibration? No. Therefore, sound is vibration. To use a metaphor I simply said that tigers are cats. I did *not* say that all cats are tigers.

Awesome. Can I ask, where does sound come from? Vibration? Seems to me sound is vibration!

Sound technically is what our brains create after picking up vibrations through our ears. Let’s not get cocky here. This is why if a tree falls in a forest and there is nobody around to hear it, it makes no sound. Deep stuff, I know. Still, suggesting this video is misnamed is a horribly douchey thing to do. We’re not ANIMALS.
