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. Mouse on Mars. Some good drum'n'bass. Hell, some Missy Elliott. Some James gaddam Brown. What a waste. Meanwhile, check this out. Groovy visuals, baby.

Awesome. I would consider this a related post.

I'm convinced the "Vibration" link is what it's going to look like when aliens finally contact us.

Harmonographs are another cool way to visualize sound waves and harmonics. What is the standing wave equation in 3-D - i.e. if we had a point wave source in a sand-filled cube of side length L (in zero-gravity, of course)? The equation in the "Cymatics" link assumes three orthogonal non-interacting waves.
