Nephilims Fact of the Day

[vikpaw]

The principle is that all waves have a frequency, and energy.
If you were far too brainy/nerdy, and you could calculate the energy required to break a molecular bond, and the frequency at which that energy is matched, you could cause the molecular bonds to break.

Within the human body, the principle is that the body operates by signals sent down the nerves from the brain, and these signals have a frequency attached to them that the brain operates on. In theory, if you directed the right frequency at the right place, you could interupt the signals from the brain.
The chances of finding the exact frequency that works on the exact part of the body that you want to control is really damned small.
Shockwave effect or exceedingly high db sounds is a lot more likely to have the desired effect, since inner ear's are rather sensitive.

Unfortunately, i fit that category. The link of energy to frequency for Electro Magnetic waves is E = hf, where h is planck's constant. This process is used to accelerate electrons off atoms.

I have heard/seen/read recently about some experiments where brain function was manipulated by some kind of energy wave. Perhaps it was linked to people with disabilities.

Sound waves work a bit differently though.

Fact 18: If the population of China stood shoulder to shoulder around the Equator, two thirds would drown.

HAH! nephilim didn't say, so it doesn't count! Can't fool us

This is a quote from one of our Principles of Sound papers we were told to revise on the Audio Engineering course I am doing.

Frequencies above 20kHz are referred to as ultrasonics. Examples of ultrasonics
include signals generated by car alarm remotes and dog whistles.
Frequencies below 20Hz are called subsonics. These can have a wide range of
unusual effects on people. They can cause epileptic fits, kill people and, in theory at
least, create orgasms. A common effect of being subjected to subsonics is to suffer
temporary loss of balance.

after watching mythbusters i would disagree with number 10

mythbusters diamonds - Google Search

they found that you can make diamonds, not the shiny glimmering diamonds you'd put on rings but the kind of diamonds you put in drill bits etc... "industrial diamonds". (although that was after a massive explosion)

Another interesting fact, Michael Jackson's sound engineers used to play subsonic frequencies before a gig that caused the audience to be anxious. The subsonic frequencies cant be heard but when MJ would walk onto stage they would cut the subsonics and it would give the audience a huge feeling of relief and make them enjoy the show more. He used this technique at the majority of his shows.

Fact #19: Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US and UK Treasury combined

[nephilim]

Fact #20: Shall be redone when the maths can be properly worked out!

[nephilim]

*Edit* Read above

[vikpaw]

sorry to be a mythbuster, i have a physics degree. show your working!!!
i'll give you a fortnight to work it out

[nephilim]

Cheers vik...I shall repost in a fortnight when the maths is fully done!

As for today

Fact #20: In various Disney Pixar CGI films, characters from other films feature in the background of the main film.

Prime examples are

Finding Nemo - Buzz lightyear is in the toy box that is at the dentists office.
Finding Nemo - Mike Szwitowski (spelling?) is seen swimming across the cast and credits
Toy Story 3 - Shrek is a toy on top of Andy's cupboard that doesn't move
The Incredibles - The baby has a toy buzz lightyear that is seen for approximately 1 second in the film
Wall-E - A model of one of the "cars" is in the film among his junk

Fact #21: Chuck Norris was born 6th May 1945, the following day Germany surrendered unconditionally which ended the war in Europe. Coincidence? lol

Seriously

Fact #21: It takes 1,851 gallons of water to refine one barrel of crude oil.

[Rydra]

Fact #21: It takes 1,851 gallons of water to refine one barrel of crude oil.

Didn't expect it to be quite that high, but it makes sense when you break it down:

It takes 1851 gallons of water to refine a barrel of crude oil. One barrel of crude oil produces 19 gallons of gasoline and 10 gallons of diesel fuel, in this respect it takes 97 gallons of water to produce a gallon of gasoline. If you combine gasoline and diesel, it takes 63 gallons of water to produce a gallon of "fuel." A total of 42 gallons of petroleum products are produced from a barrel of crude oil, in this respect it takes 44 gallons of water to produce each gallon.

I don't want to know how or why you know that...

No he was born March 10th 1940
