A SCIENCE NOTE

Sound waves can be classified into several types based on various characteristics. Here are the primary types:

1. Longitudinal Waves

  • Description: In longitudinal waves, the particle movement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
  • Example: Most sound waves in air, liquids, and gases are longitudinal. When you speak, the air molecules vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the sound wave.

2. Transverse Waves

  • Description: In transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. These are less common in sound.
  • Example: While sound typically doesn’t form transverse waves in air, it can occur in solid materials, like vibrations on a string or surface.

3. Surface Waves

  • Description: Surface waves occur at the interface between two different media, like air and water. They combine both longitudinal and transverse motion.
  • Example: Earthquake waves (seismic waves) can be an example, where sound travels on the surface of the Earth.

4. Mechanical Waves

  • Description: Sound is a type of mechanical wave because it requires a medium (air, water, or solid) to travel through. Mechanical waves involve the transfer of energy through the oscillation of particles in the medium.
  • Example: All everyday sounds are mechanical waves because they need air or another medium to propagate.

5. Electromagnetic Waves

  • Description: These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum. Sound is not an electromagnetic wave, but this is a general wave classification.
  • Example: Radio waves, microwaves, and light waves are all examples of electromagnetic waves.

6. Infrasonic Waves

  • Frequency Range: Below 20 Hz (too low for human hearing).
  • Example: Earthquake waves, elephant communication, and volcanic activity produce infrasonic waves.

7. Audible Waves

  • Frequency Range: Between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (the range that humans can hear).
  • Example: Music, speech, and everyday sounds.

8. Ultrasonic Waves

  • Frequency Range: Above 20,000 Hz (too high for human hearing).
  • Example: Used in medical imaging (ultrasound), cleaning, and animal echolocation (e.g., bats and dolphins).

9. Shock Waves

  • Description: These are a type of highly intense, sudden sound wave that occurs when an object moves faster than the speed of sound, compressing sound waves into a single, powerful wave.
  • Example: Sonic booms from supersonic aircraft.

These classifications of sound waves vary based on frequency, direction of particle motion, and the medium through which they travel.

Breathin’ In

By admin | Published: September 27, 2024

[Intro]
Breathin’ in (in, in, in)
(Oxygen)

[Bridge]
And, then again….

[Verse 1]
Here we are. Take a breath.
Live… before your death
What do you make
And, what do you take?

[Chorus]
Argon? (Bring ‘er on!)
And, again (With the nitrogen)
Takin’ in gasses
(By the masses)

[Bridge]
… neon, helium
(I am)
methane…
(Sounds insane)
And krypton
(Ah, come on?)

Breathin’ in
(Oxygen)

[Bridge]
And, then again….

[Verse 2]
(Hear?)
We’re still here.
Take a breath.
Come to life… before your death
[Bridge]
After all, before you fall…
What do you make
And, what do you take?

[Chorus]
Argon? (Bring ‘er on!)
And, again (With the nitrogen)
Takin’ in gasses
(By the masses)

[Bridge]
… neon, helium
(I am)
methane…
(Sounds insane)

[Outro]
And kryptonite
(I cannot fight)

A SCIENCE NOTE
The air we breathe is a mixture of several gases. Here’s a breakdown of the main gases we inhale:

  1. Nitrogen (N₂) – About 78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. While it’s not used by the body, it dilutes the oxygen and plays a role in respiratory processes.
  2. Oxygen (O₂) – About 21% of the air is oxygen. This is the critical gas that our body uses for cellular respiration, which produces energy.
  3. Argon (Ar) – About 0.93% of the air is argon, an inert gas that doesn’t react with the body and is simply exhaled.
  4. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) – About 0.04% of the air is carbon dioxide, though it’s a waste product of respiration that we also exhale in larger amounts.
  5. Other trace gases – There are small amounts of gases like neon, helium, methane, and krypton, but these are in very low concentrations and have no significant role in respiration.

Even though we mostly need oxygen, our lungs filter and process all of these gases with every breath we take.

A SCIENCE NOTE

Signs of unconsciousness include:

  1. Lack of responsiveness: The person does not respond to external stimuli, such as touch, sound, or light.
  2. No reaction to pain: There is no response to painful stimuli like pinching or shaking.
  3. Unresponsive to verbal cues: The person doesn’t respond to their name or any commands.
  4. Irregular or shallow breathing: Breathing may be slow, irregular, or very shallow.
  5. Inability to move voluntarily: The person is limp, with no voluntary movement.
  6. No eye movement: Eyes may remain closed, or if open, there’s no movement or focus.
  7. Absence of reflexes: Reflexes such as gagging or blinking may be diminished or absent.
  8. Pale or cold skin: Skin might appear unusually pale or cool to the touch, depending on the cause.

If someone exhibits these signs, they require immediate medical attention.

About Neurons
Neurons, the specialized cells responsible for transmitting signals in the nervous system, are found throughout the body, including the throat (pharynx and larynx). These neurons play a critical role in monitoring and protecting the airway from harmful substances. They are part of a reflex system that helps prevent foreign materials, such as food, liquid, or stomach acid, from entering the lungs.

When you drink something and it “goes down the wrong tube” (i.e., into the airway instead of the esophagus), sensory neurons in the throat detect this and send signals to the brain. These signals travel through the vagus nerve, which connects many organs, including the throat, to the brainstem. In response, the brain triggers a reflex, such as coughing or gagging, to expel the material and protect the lungs from aspiration.

Similarly, if you have acid reflux—when stomach acid rises into the esophagus—neurons in the esophagus and throat sense the irritation caused by the acid. These neurons send signals to the brain, often causing discomfort or pain (heartburn) and prompting protective responses, such as swallowing or coughing, to clear the acid and prevent it from reaching the lungs.

This protective network of neurons in the throat and other parts of the body is essential for maintaining proper function and preventing injury to the respiratory system.

The Kiss (Of Bliss)

By admin | Published: September 26, 2024

[Intro]
Imagine this…
(The kiss of bliss)
Know (no) near miss
The kiss

[Verse 1]
Dancing on the head of a pin
(Angels dancing again)
Camel through the eye of a needle
(Adult going fetal)

[Bridge]
At any rate
There is no debate
(Negate hate)
Caution: the human condition
(Crashin’… is no solution)

[Chorus]
Imagine this…
(The kiss of bliss)
Granted wish,
The kiss

[Verse 2]
How many angels (1, 2, 3)
Dancing (please tell me)
(Again… angels dancing?)
How many?
(I’d say none… having been one)

[Bridge]
At any rate
There is no debate
(Negate hate)
Caution: the human condition
(Crashin’… is no solution)

[Chorus]
Imagine this…
(The kiss of bliss)
Love, nothing less
Know (no) near miss
(kiss)

[Outro]
(The kiss of bliss)
Love, nothing less

ABOUT THE SONG
The saying referred to is, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” This phrase is often used to mock overly abstract or pointless philosophical, theological, or metaphysical debates. It’s said to originate from medieval scholastic discussions, where scholars debated topics like the nature of angels and other abstract theological concepts. While there’s no evidence that medieval scholars actually asked this question, it has come to symbolize intellectual exercises that seem trivial or disconnected from practical concerns.

A SCIENCE NOTE
Have you ever seen A Beautiful Mind, the movie about John Forbes Nash Jr.? One of our earlier papers on climate change, “The Golden Rule’s Social Justification,” draws heavily on Nash’s Nobel-winning work on Game Theory. Interestingly, it aligns closely with other core scientific, moral, and ethical principles. For a societal view, see the companion paper, Never Wake a Sleeping Giant.

Hypothesis:
The Golden Scales of Justice
Q: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or what?
A: Or, the elimination of all players is possible.

Proof: The Golden Rule can be applied to economics similarly to Nash’s Equilibrium (or Le Chatelier’s Principle in chemistry.)

“The best responses of all players are in accordance with each other.” — John Nash, Jr.

“If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.” — Le Chatelier’s Principle

Key Question:
What happens when the responses of all players are not aligned?
Answer: Justification for potential outcomes, including destabilization.

Also see: “Never Wake a Sleeping Giant: The Future of Climate Change”

Imagine society as a sleeping giant, with the few awake individuals — like you and me — sitting next to this giant. Do you want to startle the giant and suddenly wake him?

ABOUT THE SONG

This song presents a poignant commentary on the state of American politics and climate change, encapsulated in its exploration of division, identity, and the existential choices facing individuals and society.

Themes and Interpretations:

  1. Division and Polarization:
    • The repeated phrase “A division in the middle” suggests a significant rift in society, reflecting the current political climate where consensus has become elusive. This can relate to how political parties have become more polarized, moving away from centrist values and increasing the divide between factions.
  2. Existential Choices:
    • The chorus poses the question, “Do I do… or do I die?” This can be interpreted as a call to action or an acknowledgment of the urgency surrounding issues like climate change. It suggests that inaction could lead to dire consequences, resonating with the idea that we must actively engage in combating climate issues rather than remaining passive.
  3. Loss of Independence:
    • The line “What once was independent is now up for rent” points to the commodification of political values and the influence of money in politics.
