The Eternal Orchestra-Light Atoms and Music

The Eternal Orchestra-Light Atoms and Music
This video is a short 15 minute introduction to the science of atoms, sound, and waves. It focusses on atomic structure being an electron standing wave around the nucleus. Non-mathematical approach.

loved this video.. could you please explain the light pushing the electron setting up a resonant pattern a little more. thank you.

@saxenaashish17 The atom has an electron and nucleus which are pulling on eachother by electric attraction. Compare to a weight supended by a spring. It needs a push to start oscillating up and down. The push must be neither too long and slow or too short and fast. If it gets the right size push it can swing up and down (resonate) for a long time. It so happens that light waves can push on electrons. And they are the right size to cause the electron to start oscillating around the nucleus.

I love this! Reminds me of Carl Sagan's old videos, some of my favorite stuff ever. Great video sir!

[LoveMattersMost]

@EvannRachel Oh, thank-you so very much! I'm glad it gave you some "food for thought". I make these videos in hopes of tickling people's minds to think or experience something new. : ) Brian. (The truth is, though..I benefit as much as everyone else!)

It always amazed me that the “Pythagorean Theorem” applied to everything in Nature from tuning a guitar string to electronic Impedance. With the New String Theory I would not be surprised if the Theorem would be a part of a “Unified Field Theory”. But what do I know.

[LoveMattersMost]

@Ebiczebulanious Yeah, that is one of the great beauties and mysteries of the Universe-Why is math so useful? And why does math describe nature's behavior? (since math is man-made, it's not garaunteed to always work) But, like you mentioned the Pythag. Thm.; some how it describes nature as diverse as plane geometry to Phasor impedances (haha! not many people know what they are!) Cheers, Brian.

@ASAngelo You confirmed my suspicions..that Artists are more sensitive to the ebb and flow of Nature's Energies! I feel it too. When I'm still and calm, and in a good mood, I feel that all of Nature is in harmonious, rhythmic, motion. I probably feel it most at the Seashore. The crashing waves and the way they crawl up and down across the sand..It totally hypnotizes me! : ) Brian.

[ASAngelo]

I feel this energy, this motion at all times in music and art. In life.

Very well put Brian!

@LoveMattersMost Good deal! Glad I could inspire you :)

This is a very nice video!! I liked this video a lot it was very straight forward!
