Audio as a weapon

I believe Elizabeth is referring to whether or not the technology exists to detect such a weapon, keeping the technology classified, the R&D involved, the government contracting and procurement process that would take forever.

If such technology does exist, there are military and diplomatic protocol issues surrounding the use and deployment of such technology in a foreign country or anywhere else for that matter.

Just because you’re a diplomat does not entitle you to know everything your government is doing.

Actually, let me step back a bit:

Let's say someone in our government, after some research and studies (feasibility of such technology) determines there is justification to explore technology X. 

Before technology x can get off the ground there has to be

1. A request (most likely a branch of the military) 

2. Written justification and  probably a conceptual design or theory

3. Green Light given to explore and develop technology x.  That means you gotta develop, produce and test a working prototype.

Then there is the question of money.  Whose Budget and how much.  Budget approval process.

Procurement and contracting process:  Who does it?  

Getting the picture?

Think about the Manhattan Project and the development of the first atomic bomb.   

Look, if we really wanted to hurt somebody don’t you think we’d send the Kardashians down there?

Stealth applications: ATC built noise cancelling speakers for the British Navy at least 30 years ago. The device could reduce a ship ‘s engine external noise from the funnel significantly by 20db but required 135 dB at 30Hz. They continue on other military projects due to their unique capabilities in regard to transducer technology...

Absolutely, quantum physics is showing that everything in the universe is energy, so on the sub-atomic level we do not find matter we find only energy. This pure energy or light is everything comprised in universe and is resonating at a different speeds. Everything you see or touch is vibrating at one frequency or another including yourself.

>>>>Whoa! Dude! Not sure I go along with your detective work. Sub atomic particles actually do have mass. Now there is such a thing as mass-energy equivalency but that’s not what you just said. Besides light can only travel at one constant speed. The speed of light, which is the constant in the famous equation relating E to m. The units of energy are entirely different than the units of mass. The black hole in the center of the Milky Way is pure dead mass, 3 Million Solar Masses to be exact. You can convert mass to energy, for example burning a log of wood and coverting it to heat, radiant light and ashes (different form of mass).

Trelja, it is interesting that you have the same experience. I did find it amazing that sound frequencies can have such an effect on our bodies. But I guess in the grand scheme, sound can take the blame for the hearing loss we all realize with age. But in the end to the credit of sound in musical form, I maintain the going up is worth the coming down.
