    (My personal opinion)
    One word.... Displacement.
    Going back to basics is always a good idea when trying to understanding anything.
    Displacement is very basic.
    Something here (sound) is displacing the water to create "sonoluminescence" a bubble in water that then collapses giving off light. Sound is the (Structured-Energy or Solidified-Energy) here displacing the water. When the sound looses its structure the bubble collapses in a release of its energy. This is a simple display of Energy-Displacing matter.
    Energy-Displacement obeys the same basic principles as (matter displacing energy) or (solid matter displacing Liquids or gasses). If you define how solids displace liquids or gasses then you will have the basic understanding needed to define how (matter displaces energy) and how (energy displaces matter).
    Because of E=Mc2 we know that everything is energy of various (structures and densities).
    There are four classifications for densities:
    1-Energy
    2-Gas
    3-Liquid
    4-Solid
    Examples of these classes are:
    1-Fire / Light / Electricity / Gravity / Sound ... etcetera
    2-Air
    3-Water
    4-Earth
    Solids de-solidify into liquids, then gasses, then energies.
    -The reverse process also happens.
    Energies solidify into gasses, then liquids, and then solids.
    This process happens naturally or can be made to happen when we understand how a particular (medium of energy) works.
    We know something is true when we can make the information work in our lives and when we can manipulate and create it for ourselves. Otherwise it remains information, or a memory that has no use, collecting dust like a book of a shelf.

    • @gingerjalapeno9121
      @gingerjalapeno9121 Před 10 lety +8

      not exactly, the mantis shrimp's bubble makes sound, and as we all know, a high enough pitch could break glass, but in water there are 2 things, 1. should is lower in water and 2. sound travels slower in water. Also, we don't know if the pitch is super high, or super low, so we just say its " higher then normal" so, they cant break glass. Even if they could, scientist have kept the mantis shrimp in aquariums for years now, and they haven't had a problem!

      Abbey Lonergan
      It is not about the sound "shaking the glass apart" as can be done to for example wine glasses, but by creating a massive localised change in pressure. Like an underwater explosion. It doesn't matter what the pitch is, just that it is powerful. They murder their prey at a distance using these shockwaves, not by hitting it directly with the claw.

  • @mynameismatt2010

    I'm pretty sure you can test what causes it, just use a different pure liquid and if it shows the same effect you know it's not anything to do with impurities and that it's not a property of water itself but of liquids. If it doesn't work in other liquids that lends itself more towards it being a property of water.
    I wonder if it's possible to get this to work in liquid hydrogen, it seems like a similar effect to what they're trying to do in fusion reactors, without the laser energy waste.

    This is something I've been wondering about. Since lightwaves and radiowaves are both just electromagnetic radiation, If we created a radio that could receive frequencies of 400-700 THz, would we be able to hear light?

    • @baronofclubs
      @baronofclubs Před 7 lety +2

      If you wanted to hear light, you would still have to change those frequencies to the 20-20000 Hz range.

    wouldn't they know if it was Argon or Xenon was involved simply by analyzing the spectrum of the flash? Could they enrich the fluid with Argon and Xenon and measure how that effects the flash?

    • @DC177E

      They have tried adding noble gasses, and it does appear to improve the flash. Correlation does not imply causation, though.

      ***** well it's either that, or the diesel effect. If a rogue researcher were someday to try something intelligent on the subject, they might try putting an x ray detector a constantly running model. Also, after letting it run for several days, if there is any gas present, he might test it for helium. That would solve the subject right then.

    Reminds me of the movie Chain reaction....in that movie a particularly sound frequency made the energy source stable. So in sonoluminescence there is also a "specific" frequency where the bubbles implode, so maybe there is a sweet spot where the bubble can collapse but keeping the flash ongoing somebody still needs to find the right frequency i guess :)

    Hello Henry! I have come to think of a question regarding your explanation of "E=mc^2". Or rather a formula that was used in the processes. I got (after drawing it on my window with whiteboard pen) the solving of the ekv. based on the radioactive cat, very elegant indeed! But then I got to think of the formula for the energy of light when one is moving: E(1+v^2/2c^2)...
    But that seems to mean that a beam of light that hits a solar panel in a fast mowing space ship would give more energy than....

    Presumably the xenon/argon hypothesis can be tested by removing the xenon and argon, for example, by boiling the water and then keeping it under high-purity nitrogen. If you still get flashes, xenon/argon isn't required and analysis of e.g., the colour of light with and without noble gasses would suggest whether they're contributing.

    Could the flash of Light be the Cherenkov Effect? The Idea came to me when I saw your video "What is a Neutrino".
    The neutrinos emmited by the sun (ca. 10^11 per square centimeter per second on earth's surface) might cause this effect as the speed of light in the water varries depending on temperature and pressure.

  • @MrKorrazonCold
    @MrKorrazonCold Před 11 lety

    If we unify forces then everything is vibrating motion, or variations of wave pressure.
    It is the locational spherical inward absorption density or compression producing the work + and -outward emission density of electromagnetic waves forming all the forces of nature.
    The outward expansion of EMR repels like charged particles absorbing and emitting the density of the two previous levels spiralling outward 'Fibonacci' at expense of gravitational potential.
    Collapsing compression= snap expansion.

    Could you make a video on electromagnetism? Including how electricity is generated, transmitted, and how magnets work in general?

    The level of sound Hertz what is the range? If it is binaril? What dual frequencies on either side of the water container do they need to be tuned to?

    Wow, this is awesome! I have question though: Scientists have made test black holes with sound (dummy holes) so could we use these, convert the sound into light and create a real black hole?

    The mantis shrimp is my favourite animal because of its eyes it would be great to have a biology video for it

    Very good point about sound in a vacuum....not sure how to counter that :) Wasn't sure what you meant about matter though?

    ANd the shockwave creates high tension in it causing it to move and stretch at a high speed.So they move with considerable amount of speed.Also the force of strike decides the no. of cracks which is square root of dimensional velcocity of the wave.ANd the wave is at high speed.So it contributes a lot to make their speed go booming off.It may NOT be the correct explaination,but you can google it :D

    What is cooler is the fact that science freely admits what it does and doesn't understand.
    Unlike some faith based "disciplines" which come to mind.
    I love science.
    Great video.

    Isn't it possible to measure the frequency(ies) of the emitted light and match against the emission spectra of Argon, Xenon, Oxygen or any other element(s)?

    As we know glas is 75% silica and most glasses are commonly made up of it.So when we apply a certain amount of pressure or heat etc. the shockwave moving from the origin and moves back to the centre creating a cracking process.Silica is normally not very stretchable and also is placed in an order of some amount of space btw. them.So when the shockwave moves to and fro the particles of silica being not very tensile move at high speed due their momentum.

    The claws snap faster than the speed of sound underwater. The compression wave transferred through the heavier water molecules forcing the air to the center. Building pressure as air is forced by the water's compression limit.
