    Great. Now, any dopers in the crowd are zoned out for the rest of the afternoon.

    Not nearly as trippy as reading some of what Alfred1 writes here.

    Reminded me of this:

    #5 You are one of the less informed people that don’t realise that’s URL that include the not needed www get mangled by the software that they use on this board. FAIL.

    I only watched the first 10 seconds, realised that my music player has a visulisation just as interesting and fell asleep… thankfully a work mate woke me up.

    Nice… very nice.

    Seriously, the www might be mandatory on some sites. If the software sucks… fix it.

    In defense of Pierre, he used his own html coding to imbed the URL ( a href=… ) It is an option I have used successfully, and the www isn’t a problem using that method.

    …and, thanks Pierre… interesting link.

    There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the “Dvorak Zone”.

    #5 – I am surprised that no one has linked crop circles to resonance yet, unless I missed the report. Very unusual rice, what kind is it?

    OK… I consider myself fairly bright. But can someone please explain what the hell this means?

    I looked up “Kymotropic”. It is not mentioned in Wikipedia. And I can’t find it it an the dictionary. So it must be a specialized term. I assume it has to do with the graphing in the video.

    I tried looking up the word “Kymo”, which I assume is Latin or Greek. No luck. The other half, “tropic”, I assume refers to tropism behavior… that is when an organism turns or curves based on external stimuli.

    Next… I can’t find any references to an EXPANDED Solfeggio scale. From the description of this video, I assume that there are 81 unique notes. But I can’t find anything on the net that confirms that, or attempts to document what they are.

    The Solfeggio scale is the music system used for sight singing, such as the familiar 7 syllable “do-re-mu-fa-sol-la-ti”.

    Help! I feel like such an idiot.

    Who knows how reliable this is, but this is what I found, hope it helps::

    “”Kymotropic Imaging Sound System (K.I.S.S.) is what
    we named the laser/projector that galaminos had
    commissioned to be designed and built for her work…

    It’s a heavy-duty model that employs motor-driven mirrors to
    precisely direct its laser beam to mimic the exact functions of
    an x/y phasescope like the oscilloscope-type that we also use…

    It’s perfect for larger groups or crowds because
    the laser can be projected onto walls or screens…

    As a matter of fact, galaminos will be displaying this
    system as a work of art/science next month in our
    local museum’s annual members’ art show/exhibition”"

    Spirograph

    #5 for a Science Project with my son, we did the same thing as the rice, but with a metal plate with Corn Starch and a tiny bit of water.
    Just to get the starch to a toothpaste consistency.

    I had bought a 15$ computer subwoofer that you can plug an MP3 player in. Removed the cover, so that the plate can rest on top of the speaker, and some PlayDO to keep in place.

    When playing an WAV file encoded for 60 seconds at 200 Hertz, and so on every 60 seconds to 250 Hertz, we got the famous “Starch Worms” growing.

    Oh, as a bonus testing the rig, drove our dog Batsh7t Crazy.

    At school his teacher & class were impressed (Grade 9).

    Google “Cornstarch Speaker Experiment”

    I *never* got BBCodes or HTML codes to work in this blog other than bold / italic. Works for some people, not everyone.

    Ok, how do we edit our responses? When I first looked at response #5 it was just a useless URL link that this board mangles.

    The second part of my response was not directed at the video linked by response #5, it was directed at the original story.

    The rice video is cool, the original story is not. I should have had the two paragraphs around the other way. Sorry for any confusion.

    BTW I don’t control the software they us on this blog and I agree it is stupid for it to mangle URL’s that start with www. Like hello, most sites actually re-direct you to the www when you don’t include it.

    I just wonder what frequency my anus is resonating at?
    … because the poo I just made had one of the shapes seen in this useless video.
    Dvorak, want a picture?
