Take for instance a naturally vibrating string. It's vibration is natural and according to its natural and existing parameters; length, temperature, tension, mass, etc. Science will look at the vibrating string and ask "What is the frequency at which it vibrates?" To determine this they use a period of time adopted as a "standard" and then count the motions to and fro during that time period thus revealing the string's number of periodic motions ACCORDING TO THE TIME STANDARD USED. But_not_according_to_anything_else. Hence some standard of time has become an iron-fast element in vibratory and other sciences. This standard of time is arbitrary in that it (the second) could have any number of lengths of duration. And this is part of the difficulty in using any kind of standard. Such a standard becomes an icon or God-like quality of absoluteness when in actuality it is no such thing and at the same time the standard sets LIMITS on OTHER KINDS OF BEHAVIOR AND MEASUREMENTS. It is a well known fact the standard 24 hour period of a day changes EVERY DAY. Not by much but as the earth approaches and recedes from the Sun its velocities changes. So what period of time (second) is appropriate for specific measurements? We must be careful when using "standards" of whatever nature. The numbers 7 and 12 when involved in vibration are in reference to "parts of whole" vibrations. For instance, a naturally occuring vibration will break into various harmonic series each denoted by arithmetical relations which involve factoral periodicities of 7, 12 and many more. I've been working all this out and at some undefinded point in the future will publish all this work and analysis. |
