Wow, that phenomena link is pretty trippy. This is your brain on drugs. God, what dopey music, though. Scientists, man, they don't have a fucking clue. Aphex Twin would've been great. Or Pan Sonic.

The equation in the "Cymatics" link assumes three orthogonal non-interacting waves. posted by sidr at 9:52 PM on April 19, 2008
