    I think all this is more to do with frequency than anything else your talking about.The earths is going to increase over the next few years, beginning in 2012.

    What do you mean its frequency? What kind of a frequency does the Earth have that can increase?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭polishpaddy


    Everything has a frequency.For example, when you look at a plant you see the colour green,the frequency being 540 (1012 Hz) terahertz.

    No everything doesn't have a frequency.

    Only things that have a cyclical process have a fequency.


    But that's light. Light is an electro magnetic wave.

    The Earth isn't a wave.
    The only frequency it has is it's orbital period. And that it's changing any time soon.

    That's different, though. A leaf "gives out" light which has a frequency of about 5.87x10^14 hz, that doesn't mean that the plant as a whole vibrates at that frequency: it means that certain (the majority) of the atoms in the leaves vibrate at or around that frequency.

    The simple fact is that the frequency of a body composed of many many atoms is essentially cancelled out by the vibrations of the different atoms. If every atom vibrated in harmony, then there may be a substantial effect; but they all vibrate out of harmony at different frequencies; leading to an overall cancellation as a whole.

    A body such as a phone doesn't have a frequency as you describe, as it's composed of too many different kinds of atoms. A body such as the Earth certainly doesn't have a frequency as you describe.

    I didn't realise you knew so much about this topic.I tried to answer your question in a simplfied way.

    The frequency i was referring to was not the magnetic field, as this has a frequency of 0hz.

    I was talking about the frequency from the ionosphere down to the ground.So infact the earth has a frequency.

    King mob; Does light have a frequency?
    JammyDodger; Would you say a human has a certain frequency?

    But the Ionosphere reflects radiowaves.
    How does this mean the Earth has a frequency?
    Is it radio waves emitted?
    King mob; Does light have a frequency?
    Yes, because it is a electromagnetic wave.
    The frequency and wavelength of which determines the colour you see.

    JammyDodger; Would you say a human has a certain frequency?
    No humans don't have a frequency as they do not vibrate, orbit or are waves.

    Everything has a frequency.For example, when you look at a plant you see the colour green,the frequency being 540 (1012 Hz) terahertz.

    The plant is not generating green or vibrating at green frequency. The other colours are absorbed and the green reflected by the molecules.

    I was trying to explain to him how something has a CERTAIN frequency, in this case light, ie the colour green.
    Really?
    What gives you that impression?
    Your learning as you go along i can see it in your posts.
    What is that frequency exactly in hertz?
    Is frequency measured in something else besides hertz?
    Is it a radio wave? Orbital period? Light wave?
    If something has a frequency it has a wave lenght, right?

    I've read about it.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to try and trick you out or anything; I was just genuinely curious as to what you meant by everything having a frequency.

    I wasn't referring to a magnetic field, either.
    I was talking about the frequency from the ionosphere down to the ground.So infact the earth has a frequency.

    Earth doesn't have a frequency. I'm not even sure why you're saying the ionosphere has a frequency.

    Do you mean the frequency of vibration of electrons in the ionosphere?

    Do you mean the frequency of collisions in the ionosphere between electrons and other particles?

    Or are you talking about ionospheric radiowave propagation? (i.e. what frequencies of radiowaves the different layers of the ionosphere allow to propagate?)

    You're being extremely vague.
    JammyDodger; Would you say a human has a certain frequency?

    No, I wouldn't. You haven't defined what you mean by everything having a frequency, so what you're saying is extremely vague.

    The only thing I can think that you're talking about is the fundamental frequency of an object (i.e. the frequency an object tends to vibrate at). But that concept doesn't apply to conplex structures such as the human body, or even the Earth (as it's a physical vibration).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,323 ✭✭✭✭King Mob

    Unfortunately that's not true at all.
    Is frequency measured in something else besides hertz?
    Nope not really.
    Hertz is defined at number of cycles per second.

    Can you describe the frequency of the Earth in hertz or not?
    If something has a frequency it has a wave lenght, right?
    Nope, only waves.
    Orbit have a frequency but not a wavelength.

    What is the medium for the frequency of the Earth?
    I've read about it.
    Where?
    How do you know it's true?

    Frequency is an abstraction, a wave property.

    It is descriptive of that particular property of a wave. It need not necessarily apply to a wave either, which is why you need to be specific on the type you are talking about.

    Thats the one.

    I've no more than a passing knowledge on that specific area, so I won't comment until I know more about it. I'll do some research and get back to you.
    I was under the impression that we all vibrated at a certain frequency?

    A lot of what I've read on objects (including humans) having a vibrational frequency tends to relate to newage ideas: crystals etc. I can't say that I pay such ideas any credence, to be honest, as there isn't a lot of science behind many of the concepts.

    The fundamental frequency (or natural frequency) of an object is different altogether, though. A relatively simple object, such as a table or a bridge etc. (something made mostly out of the same material) has a frequency with which it tends to naturally vibrate (if energy is provided to it at suitable times; i.e. at the right frequency). I'm sure you've heard of instances where soldiers march out of step crossing bridges? They do this to avoid hitting the fundamental frequency of the bridge, thus limiting how much the bridge vibrates (otherwise the bridge may collapse under the vibration).

    An analogy is to think of a swing, adding a little bit of energy at the proper instant causes the swing to gain more height. This is (analogous) the swings fundamental frequency, basically. You've to provide the push at the correct instances (i.e. at the correct frequency) to gain the maximum height. If you pushed at random intervals, there would be no (or very little) overall effect.

    More complex items don't tend to have a fundamental frequency, as they're made out of too many different types of materials. The human body is made out of many many different materials, i.e. bone, and while each individual materal may have a fundamental frequency, the body as a whole doesn't (as the fundamental frequency for different materials is different).

    Of course, what I'm talking about here is the fundamental frequency of an object. If you're talking about a different phenomenon than this, such as the frequency associated with "crystal energy" etc., then what I've explained doesn't apply.

    I've heard about the bridge and the soldiers march but never beleived it lol so it's true then.

    As far as i understand it if i get sick my frequency lowers a few hertz. I've read this on many sites and as far as i know it is proven by conventional science.Another example would be freshly picked fruit it has higher hertz than frozen fruit in a freezer.

    Yes, it's definitely true.

    You see, when you match an object's fundamental frequency, resonance occurs. So, the vibrations become more and more violent.

    For example, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge is believed to have collapsed due to resonance (and the resonance occured because the strong wind rocked the bridge backwards and forwards, matching its fundamental frequency).

Are we talking about the same things?

    To be honest, that sounds like pseudo-science. If you maybe had a source that explained it in some detail?

    No such thing has been proven by conventional science.
    There is no basis for this at all. It's plain pseudo-science nonsense.

    People and fruit do not vibrate, orbit or move as a wave.
    Therefore they can't possibly have hertz or a frequency.

    Well then if it's basic physics, then you can tell us the frequency (in hertz) of a freshly picked apple right?
    Of the exact difference between a fresh one and a frozen one?

    As it's been pointed out humans don't have a resonant frequency because they are made of a lot of different materials.

    That isn't correct. If only it were as simple as that.

    Basically, 99% of the stuff you'll read about humans having a frequency and all that is pseudo-science; fundamentally, it's rubbish.

    I'd suggest leaving the more complex areas of physics out of this discussion (describing matter and particles in terms of wave functions etc.; it's an extremely complex area).

    How what works exactly?
    all matter is energy,
    Not quite true. Matter can be converted to an amount of energy (specifically the mass divided by the speed of light squared.). They are not the same thing.
    all energy Vibrates,,
    Well energy is defined as the ability to do work.
    The ability to do work cannot vibrate.

    You may be talking about a different kind of energy (something new agey or the like) but this is not the energy that is equivalent to matter.

    ya know I was writing a long and detailed explanation of the points, but then I thought why bother,
    Please do.

    so I'll ask, what do you understand of the Kelvin scale???
    It's a temperature scale.

    Lightning discharges are considered to be the primary natural source of Schumann resonance excitation, lightning channels behave like huge antennas that radiate electromagnetic energy at frequencies below about 100 kHz.[16] These signals are very weak at large distances from the lightning source, but the earth-ionosphere waveguide behaves like a resonator at ELF frequencies and amplifies the spectral signals from lightning at the resonance frequencies

    Now put simply this is saying from the dirt on the ground to the clouds in the sky there is a certain frequency in the air. Agreed?

    But that's not the same thing. One naturally ocurring radio frequency among many other frequencies is not "the frequency of the earth".

    To make an analogy or several:
    There is phosphorus in my body. Phosphorus vibrates at X Hz at body temperature. The frequency of my body is X.

    My hair is brown, so it reflects light at frequency X. X is the frequency of my hair.

    I scrape a knife along a tin can. One of the (many) resulting sounds is at X Hz. X is the frequency of the knife, or the tin can.
