Click pic to hear what Higgs Boson sounds like

[Oops. Sorry. We're told the photo is of the non-sub-atomic Mr. Higgs Boson of Ipswich, Suffolk, UK. --ed.]

Researchers have simulated the sound of the Higgs Boson and other sub-atomic collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Their aim is to develop a means for physicists at Cern to listen to the data generated by the LHC and pick out the Higgs particle if and when they finally detect it.

One of the key particles researchers are searching for is the Higgs Boson.

It is this particle that is thought to give sub-atomic particles mass, which is why it has been described as the “God particle”.

These three sounds represent different properties of the Higgs known as its “harmonic signatures” – if the particle exists at all.

    I am NOT clicking on that picture. I’m sure the it sounds great.

  2. Animby says:

    Admit it, Dallas. You won’t click on it because you’ve read they call the Higgs Bosun the “God” particle. And you’re just plain afraid to hear the real voice of god.

  3. admfubar says:

    weird, it sounds like the plants that sang in the original start trek pilot… gene rodenberry was way ahead of his time…

  4. Gary, the dangerous infidel says:

    If Higgs Boson gives subatomic particles mass, does this mean that the building blocks of the universe are Catholic? Maybe the Higgs Boson isn’t really the “God particle” after all, but just the “Pope particle,” or even just a lowly “Priest Particle.”

    Hide your children from the Hadron Collider!

    They’re close, -but they’re still bought and paid-for morons wasting squillions of $$ on the “science of denial” they are so famous for.

    So, they used 3 sounds..? well at least they’re on the right track.

    -Maybe a few of’em studied Cymatics (i recon you may want to research Cymatics. -it may make a light bulb go off in a few of you)

    “discover the power of 3, 6 and 9 and you will know the secrets of the universe” -i think Tesla said..

    There is no “god” particle simply because waves or “vibration” -not particles, are at the foundation “creating” mass/matter.

    Particles? they come later.

    The more complex the waveform, the more complex the mass or matter that is manifested. -or so my sound experiments appear to show..

    Heck, even bible thumpers that think outside the box shoulda figured that one out..

    Anyone remember what some of the first words in the “Good Book” of *metaphors* are?

    “god is the word” or “the word is god” -something like that.

    –helloooo?

    -and what makes a word “manifest?” or become real as “real can be” -in the physical sense?

    -sound.

    ie: Vibrating air molecules with your vocal “chords” <-clue #2

    (hmm..maybe there's something more to all the endless choir boy singing and purpose built cathedrals that resonate "just right" at certain notes.)

    There are some that say we here in the 3rd density or 3D world are simply sound waves "slowed down"

    SO..

    On a hunch, i took the "miracle" frequency of 528hz (sine) that geneticists use to repair DNA (which btw, produces what looks like a DNA helix on an oscilloscope) and combined it with two other "sounds" waves, -and filtered it through this tiny 750k, kickass FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) spectrum analyzer called OscilloMeter.

    (-it produces nifty real-time 3d images of waveforms that "transform" into differnt shapes when fed complimentary
    tones)

    (FFT algorithms in a sense, -deal with "dimensions" -seemed like a good place to start..)

    To my amazement, i produced some interesting shapes.

    I started with 528hz and then modulated that with two other numbers (frequencies) that I pulled from biblical stuff, brainwave frequency lists, solar system frequencies, some Occult favorites -and course, variations on Tesla's "3,6, 9" comment.

    The biggest surprise came when i left one combination running which was morphing into various shapes, and after about 2 minutes, and roughly every 2 minutes thereafter, this initial shape/waveform.

    -modulated itself into an almost perfect Cross (woo) which stayed for about 5-6 seconds before it started cycling again only to show up again about another 2 minutes later morphing back into the cross. (i was like, no friggen way!)

    The kicker was that i was joking around and thought, you always here about the "144,000" that are supposed to be "saved" -so i used 144hz as one of the tones. iirc, i found it (the cross) again at a higher set of different frequencies above 20khz-go figure)

    fwiw: several other 144hz based waveforms formed variations of an 11 pointed star.

    However, it wasn't a stable waveform though (like so many insane humans of centuries past, -who killed in the name of The Cross..) SO..-i fiddled around some more.

    Apparently, if you want a stable, funky looking waveform (stays constantly in one shape-at least one thats pumped through an FFT) and looks like a "physical" object, -one of the three tones used needs to be a square wave. (ie: adding a square wave tone to two sine wave tones)

    -so Square wave=Secret Sauce for now.

    One of the coolest stable shapes i produced that contained the "miracle" 528hz sine wave, was what i call the
    "Tunnel Fish"

    The first time i made it, one side of it was "open" and i'll be dammed if it did not look like the skeloton of a
    whale with the head missing and stunted flippers.

    I got all excited and forgot to grab a screenie, nor note all the settings used to create it.. After making it, I was bent on growing the flippers to the right proportion, size and shape. (along with pie-in-the-sky hazy daydreams of winning The Nobel. [the pre-politicized Nobel that is. -if such a thing ever existed)

    Anyway.. this screenie is very close to the original Tunnel Fish: (frequencies used are in the filename)

    -and it was stable.

    There are few others from the first batch of 70 or so i made in the root /AUDIO folder. (the Two Ring Open and Ringed Tunnel Fish were also stable, -if anyone cares to take a gander) (though some noise got into the sound system and made the Ringed Tunnel Fish not as clean looking as it could have been. -still pretty cool nonetheless)

    The point to all this? Screw Higgs, screw Boson (and muons gluons and quarks too..)

    -Creating and changing "mass" and/or matter is all about WAVES / VIBRATION, and rotation, or "spin" -not some flippin "god particle".

    Is it a coincidence every celestial entity in the universe appears to be spinning or spiraling? -i THINK NOT!

    Everything, organic or inorganic vibrates at its core, giving off waves, *not* particles of a particular frequency. (what we usually refer to as the electromagnetic spectrum)

    Learn how to isolate the frequency of any particular "object" or "thing" and you can locate it instantly as well as manipulate it in most any way you like. -call it nature's dirty little secret that apparently nobody wants us "common folk" to know about.

    Torsion/Scalar/Vortex waves and fields, the Torus, Electromagnetics, Harmonics and Resonance..these are the primary constituents which all work *together* to create the universe we see and feel and hear around us, -and dare i say "consciousness"

    (yeah, i thought it was quakery too, until i heavily researched it -and then last year, also started experiencing it first hand

    -These are the sciences, the physics we need to first, learn to *understand* and then teach the world.

    -Not this insane “make it up as you go along and then wait for proof” -antiquated Newtonian and theoretical BS that should have died a nobel yet cruel death right after electricity and electromagnetics was discovered.

    Heck its friggen 2010 and i think we are the only country left on the planet that still “officially” denies that anti-gravity is still *just a crazy theory* that’s still several decades away mainly in part, because we haven’t found that elusive “graviton particle” after 60+ some odd years of searching.

    -you know why? Because it’s a WAVE! (duh!)

    -a simple, corkscrew EM wave for the most part. -you figure that out, and about 5 minutes later..maybe a day for the kool-aid clan, and you’ll realize, “hmm…hey..we could harness gravity to produce energy!”

    (uh oh..another energy nut you say?)

    naah.. You see..the only problem the PTB/Energy Cartel hasn’t figured out yet, -and why it was never allowed to go mainstream since around the 50′s, is this:

    -They can’t for the life of them, figure out how to create and sell “boom and bust” “gravity shortages” to the masses in the mainstream media and still keep a straight face.

    THINK.

  6. Buzz says:

    This is what they have simulated. But it’s a publicity stunt.

    What it really sounds like is this:

    Fa! (with a hint of mid-Atlantic accent)

    Add a little reverb and it sounds more like “Fuh” or other similar single syllable expressions, as in “what the fuh”.

  7. Luc says:

    @5 soundwash,

    You just can’t make that shit up.

  8. hhopper says:

    All I get is:

    This content doesn’t seem to be working. Try again later.

  9. Somebody_Else says:

    How can you simulate the sound of something if you don’t even know if (and how) it really exists?

    The LHC guys sure spend a lot of time and money on publicity…

  10. bobbo, ultimate reality is a mystery says:

    Mass? When I think of the infinitely small point in space that expanded into everything, and that mass and energy are but different forms of the same thing, and the physical world seems to be breaking down into smaller and smaller units, I began to think that mass was an illusion with energy being all. But thats only because I don’t understand either one.

    amusing.

  11. bobbo, ultimate reality is a mystery says:

    Soundwash–I’ve watched you post for a year now saying everything was electricity. Now its waves? Now, I know that if everything is “one thing” then any other “one thing” is actually still that one thing. So, ok, waves/vibrations are electricity.

    Can you do us all a favor and select a consistent terminology?

    Good job, btw. If you could only provide a more detailed explanation.

  12. Richard says:

    And I was thinking it would be more like “BOOM!” In a world cataclysmic sort of way.

  13. bobbo, still working on special relativity says:

    I enjoy reading about “the gap between human experience and the quantum world” especially when Darwin provides the way? And once again, with a dose of electricity.

    Yea, fun to read stuff that doesn’t make any sense. And if I actually did comprehend it, would it lead to a deeper understanding of reality-or rather the understanding that our understanding of the mystery of the universe is by analogy only?

    Ha, ha. I’m a sheeple. Where is the green grass?

    # 5 soundwash:

    Anyone remember what some of the first words in the “Good Book” of *metaphors* are?

    “god is the word” or “the word is god” -something like that.

    I believe the quote from the Gospel of John (going from memory here) is
    “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was god.”
    (“In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum.”)

    Soundwash, none of your picture links worked for me; all I got was a page that said:
    “Directory has no index file.
    Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.”

    As for the Higgs, as far as I can determine, the theory goes that things were energetic enough shortly after the Big Bang to generate Higgs particles, and they filled space with the Higgs field and other particles interact with this field and thus gain mass. My question is, if they manage to make some more Higgs particles, won’t that reinforce the field? Will matter then have more mass?

    Bobbo, that Science Daily article was weird! I mean, I get that the quantum world is weird; I can accept uncertainty, indeterminacy, superposition of states, probability waves, entangled particles, even “spooky action at a distance,” but “scarred wave functions?” That’s going to take some getting used to…

    My brain itches!

  15. Uncle Dave says:

    I converted Soundwash’s links to actual clickable links in the text and they seem to work now.

  16. bobbo, still working on special relativity says:

    Unc Dave: is it really “nice” to encourage people to wade thru Soundwash’s website?

    If so, the recasted links still don’t work for me. Firefox 3.6.6

  17. hhopper says:

    I still get the same thing:

    Directory has no index file.
    Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.

    If you are the site’s webmaster, you can remedy this problem by creating a default HTML page with one of the following names:

    * index.html
    * index.htm
    * default.htm
    * Default.htm
    * home.html
    * Home.chtml

    NOTE: Filenames are case sensitive, i.e., Home.html is not the same as home.html

    sorry people…been away & busy the past day or two..apparently my host provider has made some security changes that put a lot of settings back to they’re default status..including my hot-linking / redirect rules.

    i’ll be going through the site in about an hour or to effect changes. -seems to have effected a lot, but not all of my open directories/links. (pain in the arse)

    In the mean time..right clicking the links above and pasting directly into the address bar *does* show the images.

    (*thank you Uncle Dave for cleaning up the links)

    -bobbo, et al, with luck, i’ll reply to your comments tonight as well, -if not tomorrow.

    (gotta find my html thumbnail generation prgm too)
