This kinda reminds me of Terence McKenna talking about his experience with DMT. He met "self-replicating machine elves". One of them told him, "don't be stuck in shock/wonder", and "do what we're doing". Then he noticed that these 'beings' were creating various 'physical' objects in front of him with sound. Like they were "singing" these objects into existence. He called it, "glossolalia", or "speaking in tongues". T…

When / where did you meet with Mayan Elder? Whats the story there? That sounds like an adventure!

it was an adventure.

Hunbatz Men was a Mayan Elder with whom I did studies in Yucatan, specifically at Chizten Itza.

He explained all the geometries to me, specifically about how the pyramid is the most advanced terminal calendar to live.

Each impression on the sides represent the months

The steps of the physical pyramid (the big side-walls) are representing the seasons.

The small stepps (that you walk up) represent the cycles in 10,000 year steps.

The inner stairs represent the oscillation over the plieades - which is where they state our DNA came from.

While with the Mayan Order, the Rosicrucians and others - the mayan calendar is a representation of PanSpermia (DNA being transmitted through space)

Which is how life got to earth.

I know it sounds weird, but reality is not what you know.

I have studied with many of his ilk...

This is one of those cool ideas that is much easier to grasp with some animated visuals. I haven't found one for this specific application, but adjacent work in using sound to move small objects is seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpNbyfxxkWE , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MXVSdXZzpc , and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzWP-NL3Lck Controlling the motion involves a lot of prediction and wave modeling, whi…

Wow!

You shouldn't cite things that you don't understand as "evidence". Take traditional Mayan belief systems for instance. They didn't involve any ideas about space travel or panspermia. The many different stories we have remaining broadly agree on a few themes that are shared with many other American cultures, namely that mankind was created by the gods out of natural materials (often corn or clay), which serves as moral reinforcement for our intimate connection to the earth.

The pleiades also weren't seen as the direction of a planet humans came from, they're just religiously important stars that may mark the date of creation. The qualifier may is used here because documentary evidence records this belief around the contact period, but it's not known whether it was believed when the calendars were initially created. The Mayans were fantastic astronomers and absolutely could have worked backwards from a later date.

If you ever do psychedelics, try out a tone generator while on the trip. https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ In particular the 20-100 hz range. There's a simple explanation for all of this. The sound wave frequencies are about coincident with the brain wave frequencies used in representing conscious thought. Signals of audio and visual perception in the brain are meant to be similar, you want to recognize the s…

Many people see DMT elves. You can hear some of McKenna's quotes in Shpongle's songs ("A New Way to Say Hoo-ray". And of course, in the Silmarillion, Eru Iluvatar "sings" the universe into form and creates deities that form harmonies (and then, dissonance).

Arguably also the bible is saying this too: "In the beginning was the Word"

It occurred to me last week that phrase is prompt engineering. He is giving the essential info to specify what he wants presumably because a shorter specification would yield a different result. I wonder if star trek replicators are deterministic. Does Picards frequent ordering of Tea Early Grey Hot make the probability of someone ordering "tea" more likely to be TEGH, and thus if Picard ordered TEGH frequently enoug…

> I wonder if star trek replicators are deterministic. It seems like it would be deterministic (or similarly consistent to your fav cafe ), or else Picard would no longer trust his prompt and try new ones (no different than you would try new local cafes instead). What isn't clear is if "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." is the same as "Hot earl grey tea, please."

It isn't different. It's just that the implication is that you need to talk to the replicator tersely rather than conversationally

I can imagine this being used with some form of acoustically hardening resin. Put it in a container where the walls are ultrasonic transducers and then make the wave interact in such a way as to create acoustic hotspots that harden the material

I don't think that's even necessary! You could use this acoustic technique to shape ordinary light-curing resin and then flash with UV light to harden it.

Reminds me of Kryptonian tech in Man of Steel

This is exactly what this reminded me of. I can forsee high fidelity solid, textured holograms just being some kind of colour changing liquid that's controlled with sound waves. Perhaps 100 years into the future we will have dynamic furniture at a whim in our houses through some kind of similar technology .. or be able to materialize dynamic cooking pots exactly suitable for each dish, and then de materialize them af…

That’s assuming we would still have pots or a need for them with this tech.
