This checks out cuz the universe is just waves

i know the last one with the atom isn't technically a harmonic oscillator but eh, close enough

Opened comments to post this. There is a lot of inharmonic stuff around. Even piano strings are audibly inharmonic, more so in vertical piano than in grand piano, and a lot of world's beauty is hidden there.

If all you have is a fourier transform, everything looks like a sum of sine waves

Tbh the one where you recreate x² by adding waves is still freaking me out. Idk I feel like this should not be like that, it feels wrong idk.

what, are you talking about the last one?

oh we're not recreating x² (i think). this is the energy eigenstates of quantum harmonic oscillators. interesting topic, but not interesting to explain.

He probably meant Fourier transformation.

What if that's how everything works, but in 22 dimensions?
