For example, sound is not a vibration of the air. A sound wave, we know today, is an electromagnetic process involving the rapid assembly and disassembly of geometrical configurations of molecules. In modern physics, this kind of self-organizing process is known as a "soliton." Although much more detailed experimental work needs to be done, we know in principle that different frequencies of coherent solitons correspond to distinct geometries on the microscopic or quantum level of organization of the process. This was already indicated by the work of Helmholtz's contemporary, Bernhard Riemann, who refuted most of the acoustic doctrines of Helmholtz in his 1859 paper on acoustical shock waves.

To convert light into sound, a laser pulse is compressed to ionize a small amount of water (give the water molecules a charge). The ionized water then absorbs the laser energy and heats up. The result is a small explosion of steam that generates a 220 decibel pulse of sound.
Agree. All matter has a specific resonance. When something changes the resonance of an object, be it light or hammer hitting a bell, the object emits a change in color, heat, sound, odor, and taste depending on the frequency emitted and the conductor through which it is transmitted.IgorTesla wrote:Maybe sound could be just a property of any mass in motion whereas motionless mass is 'slient'.

I don't know. However, as evidenced by nuclear explosions, we know there is an enormous amount of potential energy stored in a single atom. Our senses detect only a small amount of this released energy, or resonance.MattEU wrote:if you change the resonance enough of something large can you change its structure, shape, chemical make up, molecules, it?
