It's common sennse my dear boy, but it all depends on the equipment used
and who is using it. But all one needs to understand are the basic
prinipals of the universe and how everthing is mathematically dependant on
everything else. This is something apparent in one dimesnsion of energy
and a small band of that energyt and its affect in our atmousphere via the
surrounding matter as percieved through the limited ear. However the ear
only hears the very fringes od what is affected by the molecular energy
being dispersed. Of course there will be a difference! I even make this
challenge to those professors who need to have everything proven and cannot
rely on simple pre-k physics; which is something we are taught to ignore
while we base everything on the limited decimal arabic number system. If
you truly wish to understand I urge you to forget MIT and visit with the
Natives of some South and Central American cultures who still brew rather
strong teas which should open your mind and preserve your consciousness
into your 90's. The Arabic, (Egypt) lost their special teas for these
"calculations" despite their better pyramids which were actually based more
on pre-inca methodology. But that is another story.

"You Take The High Notes" http://helius.carroll.com/p/leo_g/ There is a
difference between "dealers" and musicians that love not only the sound of
music but the tools which make it possible for people to play music. It's
important to set things free so they may ultimately find their way to
their intended parties. I am especially interested in Musical Instrument
History and technical data. Please email me with interesting links. Thank
you:-) Leo
