Levitation using Sound

Watch. Enjoy. Be amazed. See three dimensional objects levitated by sound waves in this just released video of the work of Japanese scientists.
This work falls into the category of cymatics -where resonance is made visible.
The term describes the periodic effects that sound and vibration have on matter.
Being typically an invisible effect, the results are engaging & somewhat amazing when made visible.
This practice has ancient roots and has been documented in culturally diverse locations from ancient China to the realm of Galileo. Other researchers include Chladni & Jenny -both referenced in the cymatics entry in Wikipedia.
The scientific domain has shared this phenomenon with artists.

The larger consideration involves what effects sound & vibration have on the whole realm of physical reality -from the Earth itself to individual biological species & their health & wellbeing.
