Synesthesia is the rare ability for someone to have two or
more of their senses “blend together,” so to speak. Think about it this way. What if that every time you hear a certain
sound, you taste something in your mouth?
Or you see a flash of color that no one else can see? Personally, I had never heard of this
condition but I am too intrigued. The
fact that people live their everyday lives experiencing such moments can really
allow someone to exceed in certain skills, such as memorization, or even
something a little more artistic, like music.
Speaking of music, being that it is a collection of sounds
in harmony to create something pleasing (or displeasing, in some cases), the
vibrations in the air actually can be visually depicted in a phenomena called
Cymatics. Now, Cymatics is a very
interesting as the subject actually is created based on the vibrations the
sound causes. These vibrations will
cause thin particles to move and form geometrical shapes based on the frequency
of the waves. I believe that this shows
how the vibrations affect matter if it is solely concentrated in one location. When seeing the visual audacity of Cymatics,
people can understand the artistic wonder that they create. It just amazes me how something so beautiful
can be hidden away in front of our eyes and we would have known about it. What is the world without experiments?
