Solar Ultrasound - Bass Note In Music Of The Spheres
Ancient cosmology held that each of the planetary spheres corresponded to a
different note in a universal musical scale. The tones emitted by the planets
depended on the ratios of their different orbits in the same way that the length
of a lyre-string determines its tone. The music of the spheres was contemplated
by many respected philosophers, like Pythagoras, Plato, Pliny and Ptolemy. The
English hermetic philospher Robert Fludd devised celestial scales that spanned
three octaves, linking sub-planetary elemental worlds to angelic choruses beyond
the stars.
Now, in a letter published on December 10th in Astrophysical Journal Letters,
researchers report that the Sun's atmosphere is filled with ultrasound-like
waves at a frequency of about 100 millihertz - every ten seconds. "At 10-second
period, these waves qualify as ultrasound because individual atoms on the Sun
experience only a few collisions during the brief passage of each wave, just as
with ultrasound here on Earth," says Dr. Craig DeForest, a senior research
scientist in the SwRI Space Science and Engineering Division. DeForest found the
signature in data collected in January 2003 in the TRACE program.
