So if you're at postion, and you change position, we call that velocity. If you change between two velocities we call that acceleration. If you learned this in school you would call these derivatives. Well when you take the derivative of acceleration, you get something called jerk. And the derivative of jerk is called jounce.

But jounce is a horrible name, so they started calling it "snap". Naturally this lead to the next two derivatives being called "crackle" and "pop".

These aren't the official names, but they don't have official names so "position, velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap, crackle, pop" is officially unofficial

Thanks for the reply! I've actually been to Bryce and Zion (not grand canyon though), and I thought Bryce was prettier. I really just wanted to see your opinion as someone very familiar with the area. Your advice is great though! We did a moderate hike down and back up a different way and hit all of the major formations easily within half a day.

I agree with you. Though, I'm more eager to go back to Zion. I'm way too claustrophobic to do the narrows, and angels landing was already booked (it was a last minute trip for me), so i havent even seen a lot of the "good stuff". Really looking forward to getting back there.

Was one of his miracles stopping Damar's heart?

Because the reason Damar survived is that everybody followed their training. Him recovering after briefly losing his heartbeat is not "miraculous", it's was actually pretty likely because of the prompt care he got.

His heart stopping on a routine play like that is much more unlikely. Maybe some divine intervention from some twisted diety who also likes to give children cancer and can make food appear out of nowhere (Exodus 16:1–36) but chooses to let people starve to death.

You keep doing edits after I reply.

But you realize the the frequency "most harmonic" to water is literally how a microwave cooks food, right? I'm dismissing it because people like you would microwave people to death if you could carry out your experiments.

I'm not disagree with the actual science of color and emotion. My wife is a neuropsychologist and took a whole class on vision and neuroscience. That has empirical evidence.

I'm disagreeing with someone slapping a bunch of work together to form some half-baked "unified theory of frequency" or some shit lol

The fact that you consider yourself to have a "true understanding of reality" is by far the most jarring part.

YOU said vibrations, my guy. And if it isn't the frequency of vibrations that you're talking about, then what is it the frequency of? Especially the "harmonic frequency of water" part

Enlighten me rational science man

No, actually I have a graduate degree in thermodynamics which is quite literally the study of atomic vibrations. So I'm disagreeing on the basis that everything you said is completely at odds with what I've learned and applied.

If the scientific consensus is that you are correct, I will beleive it because of the inherent benefits of the scientific method: transparency, reproducibility, and peer critique. Not just because some scientist says so. Please do some research on the hierarchy of evidence.

But you're right, I will change it to "rational". I shouldn't be stigmatizing

I love that you say we need physicists not artists and then spout some of the most artsy unscientific bullcrap I've heard lol

You do not know the defintion of "ancestor", clearly. Ancestors are things you are decended from, as in like a father or mother. We are literally not the ancestor of those algae. They evolved well after the division in the biological tree that separated us. We have plenty of ancestors from those oil biomass days, but oil is not our ancestors.

Oil is not our ancestors? It's almost 100% plants and algae, neither of which are ancestors of ours.

Plus, these plates are made of plastic.... which requires oil to make.

This is not the solution to drilling oil. I'm not even convinced these devices would ever even offset their own carbon emissions.

But hey, if it makes uneducated people feel good, I guess that's something.
