Life is both solid and wave-like.
Life is both “solid” and “wave-like.” We learned in school that matter is made up of atoms. Like the planets revolving around the sun, the electrons orbit the nucleus of each atom. That’s the solid view. In physics, there's the principle of duality - that not only is life made of “solid” particles, it is also, at the same time, made of waves. Life vibrates. As a matter of fact, when you take a close look at the "solid" material, atoms, they too are bundles of vibrating energy.
In general, we are much more familiar with the solid aspect of life. We can see it, touch it, measure it, manipulate it. Here, we are going to primarily focus on the second perspective, that of the wave and how it affects us.
Introducing the Simple Wave
Draw a circle, split it into two halves, move the lower half over to the right, and you get the "simple wave":
Basic in shape and form, the simple wave creates everything known, specifically in the form of:
- cycles, patterns, rhythm
- push-pull, ebb and flow
- contrast, positive-negative, duality
- movement
- objects
In the video, the sound is a simple wave that simply vibrates faster as it goes up in pitch.
