Audio as a weapon


I would like to deviate a bit from the normal audio equipment conversation and delve into the phenomenon of the recent audio "weapon" that appears to have been deployed in Cuba upon State Department employees and now, it appears, in China. I know that very low frequency can be dreadful to listen to but anyone out there have any ideas with regard to how audio could be used as a weapon? It is not my intention to draw speculation of a political nature, I am only interested in the technical aspect of audio as a "weapon". Anyone have any thoughts?

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.
Elizabeth- Are you saying the US Govt or the US military does not already have these types of weapons??? Or the capability to detect them? I would be curious as to what you know.

It's not Elizabeth that's saying. it's the US Gov't that's not saying.  Because to do so would be an admission. 

And sometimes the diplomatic corp talks too much or brings unwanted attention to themselves that have unintended consequences.

Think of mass as an aftereffect of the frame of reference......

Same for gravity. And time.

Ergo the speed of light is finite, and as a wall (constant).... but only in the frame of reference.

Put the whole question and answer set on backward, and see where the train of thought takes you....

There is research that finds the speed of light to not be constant or as a limit. We have it as a stable data point, yes. (lots of experiments in this area)

And we have dimensional models, where the constants are not the fundamentals that they are ’here’ (so to speak).

And we have the violations, happening all over the place, bits of oddities, here and there...throughout pretty well all branches of science, these anomalies exist. As well as existing in places science is uncomfortable with. Millions of examples. (Reality is not limited by objective models. But science is)

Ie ’dark matter’ may not be anything but a dimensional placeholder, a spacer where the translation into Einsteinian reality is bridged, across a dimensional fulcrum. As dark matter is not following the rules and it’s protrusion or act of being is also causing problems in the current standard model itself.

If one starts going down that road of trying to figure this out, then they might find themselves arriving at Musk’s conclusion of this not being a fundamental reality, that the odds of this place ’we all understand as being reality’ being the ultimate original frame of reference.. the odds of that..are so close to zero that it is not worth bothering with the idea. (billions to one, is the deal. This is what the meta-studies of the 'compleat' extant/emergent science says. Ie, not where we've been, but where we're going, intellectually and in observation of our space)

History, ie, the past, and unidirectional time, and an unknown future...this violates energy conservation laws as an idea and observation, alone. If the universe is symmetrical, energy wise, thermodynamics, and so on, then unidirectional time cannot exist, as unidirectional time inherently indicates an asymmetrical frame. To paraphrase Dire straits, "Two theories say they are Jesus, one of them must be wrong..."

Then it really gets strange, as this above....is the simple stuff. The cheap seats.
