• Hearing Shape of the Drum

    Mathematically ideal drums with membranes of these two different shapes (but otherwise identical) would sound the same, because the eigenfrequencies are all equal, so the timbral spectra would contain the same overtones. This example was constructed by Gordon, Webb and Wolpert. Notice that both polygons have the same area and perimeter. To hear the shape…

  • Applying Color to the Real World

    Spectra are complex because each spectrum holds a wide variety of information. For instance, there are many different mechanisms by which an object, like a star, can produce light – or using the technical term for light, electromagnetic radiation. Each of these mechanisms has a characteristic spectrum. Let’s look at a spectrum and examine each…

  • Geometrical Underpinnings

    On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry.Bernhard RiemannTranslated by William Kingdon Clifford [Nature, Vol. VIII. Nos. 183, 184, pp. 14–17, 36, 37.] It is known that geometry assumes, as things given, both the notion of space and the first principles of constructions in space. She gives definitions of them which are merely…

  • Colour and Sound

    Sounds and colors are “metered measures?” It is something we have designed in order to account for communication of certain facts? While I present some quotations here for consideration, it is also in the quest to understand what illusion and reality can mean when not all parts of the consensus can agree on what constitute…

  • Dark Matter Results From AMS II are Coming.

      April first is always a good day to carry out some prank which will catch the believers fully engaged. So when our teachers goad us,  we realize that they are toying with the gullible and most eager ears,  as to have fun with us.  All in a good jest I am sure. A sincere…

  • White Space Sensor Development

     To manage the White Spaces is a way to improve process performance of an organization(internet). White Space (management)  The idea has always been to operate within certain frequencies in order to develop the communications needed for rural development. Sometimes,  in context of management we see where governments needed to manage these frequencies in order to…

  • QuVis: The University of St Andrews Quantum Mechanics Visualisation project

    Of course I find visualizations always quite helpful and do appreciate the explanations that go with them. So just going through the post title listed site and find it very helpful. I am sure others will find this information helpful too. QuVis: The University of St Andrews Quantum Mechanics Visualisation project written by Antje Kohnle …

  • Adinkras and Benoit Mandelbrot

     It is a identifying process that with data seems to fulfill a general sense of completion? IN a sense I see that powers of ten quickly surmises us to examine the scale with which exposure reveals the depth of things.  Quickly we are taken to “such levels of perception”  that were once deemed as not…

  • Our Baby Universe with Ed Copeland and Planck Satellite

    Where do the seeds of structure in our Universe come from, and why does our Universe appear the way it does? In this talk, Ed explores what happened in those earliest moments that lead to the Universe forming itself into what it is today. He also tells us a bit of a story about how…
