Bending waves (what you see)

[frankftw]

Waves (sound, light, radio) are based on the frequency (rate) which does not change depending on the angle. The wavelength is always measured in the direction of travel. The apparent frequency can change if the source is MOVING toward or away from you. If you listen to a train pass, the sound of its horn will be shifted to higher pitch as the train approaches, then abruptly to lower pitch as it passes by you and recedes.

[i69tobigbeaver]

what you see depends on how you look at it... truth brother

[3eneboy]

but?? you dont "see" a wave looking at it from a different angle, you only "see" it when the wave hits you, you dont "see" it, it hits you?... as far as im aware... :/... by dude, your awesomely insane, i love it.. thts y i subscribed yur kinda lyk me :L

[IkeandMike101]

dude were you like drunk when you made this?!?!?!

[IkeandMike101]

LoL you said microwave!

[serrra14]

no, this does not happen. the way you illustrated the wave function was a 2 dimensional figure as opposed to reality wave functions, implying 3 dimension figures. you constructed a 2 dimensional illusion that enables one's perspective to change on the size of the wavelength but however, in 3 dimensional planes, we can clearly see that the size will not change. sorry.

[hosalaugh]

EAXCTLY, cause, if ur "perspective" saw the wave to be shorter, then the wave could turn into a gamma ray, which, is just not possible, AS WELL if it was a gamma ray, you'd die, SO, stfu ian crossland

[lexington210]

your idea or part of your idea is very simple. this is a given as well as the reason you are the only one talking about it.

[JohnnyRock2000]

All observeable light reaches the eye at right angles.

[TazerDazer]

Color is nothing more than a reflection of light at different wavelength frequencies

[Oilbeefooked]

well you missed your shot at string theory, but twisty tie theory is a pretty good second.

[acer355]

Although I have to agree there are some flaws to your explanations I really enjoy listening to what you have to say. I like the analogies. Keep it up.

I FEEL COMPELLED TO WRITE THESE COMMENTS BEACUSE I HATE YOU SO MUCH, U R A PRETENTIOUS Fool

[benkalem]

You know, it's kinda cool that I've had a lot of the same thoughts, but I've used different words to give them a form. Perspective seems to be the defining thing, that allows us to give specific meaning to all things.

[gh3770android]

i believe electromagnetic waves are omnidirectional and no matter what angle you are looking at the source of the wave, you'll see the same frequency. its only when we move towards or away from the source at tremendous speeds that we see a shift in the frequency.

[acer355]

Agreed

[guitdude13]

Thats not how a prism works. Also sound isnt electromagnetic waves. Also waves are directional, changing your perspective does not change the appearance of a color or any wave. The frequency remains the same just in a different direction. Also waves are drawn in that manner to represent them, but you can't actually measure a wave or view a wave from the side like that. It is only representative of the amplitude vs time. But other than that, I enjoyed the video. Its an interesting concept.

[acer355]

Agreed

[jefolicr]

I'm sorry... but this makes me want to not smoke pot.

[justwatching1980]

i wish you would take a class.

[psychonautx26s]

Yes, it's definitely a bit off. When you started I hoped you were going to somewhere else with the idea but you still have a lot of it backwards. Try stepping back from yourself about 20 consecutive times, you seem to be getting into another rut and contradicting a lot of what you already realize.

[dude193]

doesnt change in length actually. just diffence of perspective.

[Maxell303]

PEnis

[nooblar23]

some good theorys but arnt wave lengths only ment to be measured from the side (correct me if im wrong), otherwise it was a good video

[SimplyKell]

That's some crazy stuff. You've really got me thinking.

[virgojeep1]

Its a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake!

[yupyupyup66666666666]

he deleted my last comment...why because I actually work with science and critical theory?

how lame is that? isn't this all about discussion if you post something?

[monomij]

crossmack, I'm sorry, but this isn't right. Wavelength is defined as the length of a wave for a person looking at it from the side. Therefore, while a person looking at it from another view will see a shorter length, it doesn't matter because the wavelength is still the same length.

If what you said was true, you could look at an X-Ray a certain way and it would be visible light, but this is plainly not true.

[PoetPhenom]

Hmm you should go to the UK and do a vid with eliseharris you guys are on the same page right now

[Jesuspunkrokr]

thank you for this video, very interesting, I got most of it. it really made me think

thanks again!

[Scarykidd182]

I respectfully disagree crossmak. Because the wavelength exists in a three dimensional space the wavelengths aren't actually changing, just changing positions. I say this because as far as I know there hasn't been any studies or phenomina to show that an x-ray wave was transformed into a gamma wave or a radio wave. Your perspective changes independant of the wave and its properties. Even though the percieved wavelength changes the true wavelength does not change.

It seems the worse things get in his life, the more grandiose his attitude becomes. I have seen this worrisome pattern before. I went through something similar years ago.

[underdog3]

Science is just another form of authority, why dont you bow down to god if you have a problem with what he says. I don't see him claiming to be any expert this is just an opinion, like all other statments made online.

[ttbf]

A scientific comment - when you see a light photon, it's because it hit your eye straight on.

You do not see light photons from a side view, you only see the ones that actually hit your eyes.

What CAN alter your perception of the wavelength (hence color) is if the object emitting the photon is moving towards you or away from you at a given speed. This is known as blueshift or redshift, and is the same principle as the Doppler effect.

[carnalphilosopher]

What this guy just said is why you need to actually learn physics, and abandon your ideas that you are somehow breaking new ground with your thoughts. It's fine to think outside the box without knowing anything about the subject if you're just doing it for shits and giggles, but when you imply that what you're doing in your videos somehow matters in the grand scheme of intellectual history, you're just embarassing yourself.

[giaco44094]

Wow...can I get some college credits after watching this?

[theCommenteer]

I'm glad you draw the analogy to personal relationships. That makes you relevant even if your science is wacky.

[theCommenteer]

I think the conventional understanding of light waves is that you cannot observe them that way since your observation of them is the actual wave hitting you head-on. That would be why "blue" light will always look blue, because to see it, it must hit your eye's nerves head-on. There's no way to look at it's profile. I think. Of course, the Ian way is not the conventional way.

[yupyupyup66666666666]

incorrect...not even close to correct

simple but wrong....

your explanation of measuring wavelengths is about 50 years out of date

this is babble

"haven't delved much into it"

clearly

stop fusing new age bullshit to science

[emwharton]

Once again, Ian is confusing the map with the territory. He believes that his little curly-Q model represents "the ripples of existence."

[ravensmomscorp76]

"It's the first I've ever heard it explained..."

hmm.... & that's coming from someone who doesn't read, & thinks that video games are providing him "mental training"???

(sigh)

[crossmack]

dude, I read.  enough with the stereotypes.

[emwharton]

From which book did you learn the word "unvelop?"

[emwharton]

Do you even know the definition of the word "proactive?" You use this word frequently, but never correctly.

What book did you read that taught you this word?

[emwharton]

"Perceptualize?" What the hell does that even mean?

[ravensmomscorp76]

1st of all: I'm NOT a DUDE~But since we're both in CA & I know it's not meant to be gender-specific, I'll let that slide :)

2nd: I'm not stereotyping... Note: I wasn't saying anything that you haven't already said, yourself!

Actually, I was trying to point something out to you, but my other comments didn't go through...

Basically, I brought up how in a past video, you'd said that @ the time you had taken a break from getting high. You said that you need to do that @ times...

[ravensmomscorp76]

...so you could "recharge" (or something like that). Which leads me to believe that you realize that you are better off NOT getting high~(...kind of like when you made that "storm" video?)

...but for WHATEVER reason, you seem to be under the impression that getting high is what leads you to these "revelations" that you are exploring on video?

[ravensmomscorp76]

...But I think you're really doing a great disservice to yourself. I brought up the whole video game as "mental training" because I think that time spent would have been much better served, had you been doing research &/or educating yourself on what you're trying to teach us. If you DID, you might discover that a lot of ground that you think you're "breaking" has already been done~and it's been done by PROFESSIONALS, & is already published... with the numbers & the science there to back it up.

[HaleyMary]

This was cool. I liked the part of perspective doesn't create it, but determines it. Like, how the point of view people have has an effect on the outcome.

[chrysXtal]

except that it was 100% wrong.

[jdtl0]

It's not the wavelength that determines if a wave is sound-- if you have a light wave, wavelength can be used to classify the wave as gamma, X, micro, etc. But a sound wave is a different type of wave altogether-- it is not a light wave. Soundwaves are actually waves of air pressure (or water pressure or whatever medium it travels through), and you can select any frequency for the soundwave.

[benjaminjoshua]

very good

[geekhorde]

Man, you are a crazy mofo, but I'm lovin' it.

[D4Shawn]

It sounds like you're referring to the Doppler effect, but I only watched 2 minutes of this.

[Bunker900]

Wow thats pretty crazy... I've never thought of the whole wave thing like that... but I'm not sure if thats really how it works... then again I'm no physicist. Did you come up with that on your own?
