Cymatics, Water-Sound Imaging
“When we use the CymaScope to study the visual geometry of sounds, we see that they include many of the mathematical constants of the universe, including phi, sometimes known as the ‘golden mean’. This ratio is approximately 1 to 1.618 and it is found in all living things, thus demonstrating the connection between sound and life. Cymatic geometry is composed of patterns that form on a membrane ‘imprinted’ with sound vibrations, thus allowing us to observe them visually.
The reason that all living things have the phi ratio imbedded in them may be because the phi ratio is mathematically imbedded within sounds that are devoid of harmonics, sounds that we might label as “pure” (Pure sounds do not contain the rich complexity of a musical sound. Two examples of this are bubbling water and whistling wind.) Such pure sounds contain the all-important phi ratio and they create sonic scaffolding that we believe organised, structured and triggered life near hydrothermal vents.”
