the hurts of hertz

PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME FOR A NUT JOB.

THE BELOW MATERIAL IS MORE AN INQUIRY.

NOT A STATEMENT.

recently i was introduced to what is called the
"Schumann Resonance" in the PBS program,
"NOVA" --"At The Edge OF Space".

same the pitch produced by an estimated 100(+,-)
lightning strikes per second in the earth's EMF
umbrella which prevents solar wind from literally
"blowing" away everything from the face of the
planet with solar emissions. even the very air
we breath. the nova program stated that the
Schumann resonance averages about 8Hz.

the next day, i googleized Mr. Schumann's
discovery, and found there enough conspiracy
theories surrounding a 440Hz "A" to fill an
entire "National Enquirer" Ragazine with short
references to different ideas that are put out
among various proponents. brief overview:

longform.org/stories/pitch-battles

same range from above link references to Nazi
plots all the way to satanic subterfuge.

the neo-naturalists promote a return to the
432Hz "A", which is said to be in tune with the
Schumann 8Hz resonance...

i also learned through very extensive hits
on google that almost every action we as
human beings experience all happen within
their own range of Hz. from brain waves to
DNA production, and too many other items to
list here.

due to extremely short days of winter when
i lived in alaska, i started studying the
effects of light on humans, same which is
also just a vibration measured in Hz. the
incidence of depression is very high up in
that state, and i wondered if there was a
correlation between light deprivation and
a friend's funk which seemed worse in the
depths of winter every year.

from that i learned about the studies of
a Dr. John Ott, the guy who used to do the
time lapse photography for Walt Disney back
when i was a kidling. he even states that
he cured his cataracts by discontinuing
eyeglass use. [same filtering ultraviolet
light] eventually, he started a company
that produced "full spectrum" lighting,
same which seemed to help my friend to a
great extent. no definitive studies have
been done on this that i know of.

still, how is it that the 60 cycle [the US
standard for Hz in alternating current]
release of light doesn't have an effect on
the benefits of this light?

then there are the speculations about the
different frequencies produced by various
pyramids around the world, an the possible
byproducts of same.

all of which ~absolutely~ proves nothing,
but leaves room for wonder.

also, i found out about...

...in the above journey. the sound card in
my computer is long deceased, so i guess
that i just need to go buy one of this man's
albums for anecdotal experimentation upon
myself. should you read about the creature
from the dark lagoon being spotted in NE
texas, or a new photograph of big foot in
the near future, don't try this trick at home!!!

any one out there listened to his music before?

and as per the 60Hz AC voltage question in the
US above, would differences in the speed that
a CD spins at have any effect on the pitch a
song gets played back at? not that well versed
on the intricacies of digital reproduction.

I recorded me, with a camcorder and onto my computer at the same time. Can I sync them? No. A 3 min recording, the video runs 10 seconds longer than the audio!
Anyway, nothing is true to life and wouldn't it be nice to have a speed control next to your volume control so you can listen as you like!

[mitchfit]

Keith,

as per above, wouldn't know about modifying digital
signals.

but you could record the computer information onto
magnetic tape, then tweak the motor speed to match
the video length.

the same ploy George Martin used when adding on the
pandemoniac ending to "Strawberry Fields Forever",
which had been recorded in a different key. the guy
was an absolute genius, and well earned the nick
name of the "5th Beatle":

I can't make much sense of the original post, but as far as I'm aware digital music playback jsut involves reading data from a disc, storing it in RAM and playing it back at a predetermined speed, I can't see how changing teh speed of a CD would affect that unless it were slowed to the extent that the machine couldn't read data in as fast as it was required to play the track, in which case it would need some buffering time, much like youtube in teh days of slower internet connections.

I think you're confusing the frequency of the electricity supply to the light source, which is whatever the mains frequency, and the frequency spectrum of the light that the light source produces.

Fluorescent bulbs tend to produce a very limited spectrum of light, which could be composed of as few as 3 narrow peaks in the spectrum in the primary colours that blend to make 'white' light. This is because they produce light be exciting electrons between specific energy levels in chemicals in the bulb, which emit photons at specific frequencies (governed by the energy difference between the levels) as they fall back their original state. These bulbs will also be flickering at the mains frequency (I believe).

Traditional bulbs produce light by the heating of a filament, producing a spectrum of light governed by their temperature and emissivity of the material at each frequency, but which will be somewhat similar to a black body spectrum as seen here faculty.virginia.edu/consciousness/images/black%20body%20spectrum.gif (frequency would be the speed of light, c, divided by the wavelength shown on that graph). This is similar to the light the sun produces, although the sun is obviously far hotter, and the atmosphere attenuates certain frequencies of light. The temperature of a bulb filament is raised by resistive heating, and the bulb doesn't flicker.

I'll try to read some more of the original post and answer when I have time.

Thanks Matt.

i'll have to try out one of the guy's
CD's, now that i know it will be in
the same key as recorded.

then i'll see if my brain can detect
any appreciable difference 'twixt
that and music played just 8Hz away.

kinda dubious, to be honest, but it
should be worth a try....

I forgot to mention that Schumann waves are in the electro-magnetic field, and sound waves are acoustic waves in matter, and as such are different.
