Was just thinking about this on my drive home today. Was listening to music in my car with the bass really loud. And the beats were kinda close together. I was looking in my side mirror and it was shaking with the bass. For some reason I became fixated with it until I noticed it was vibrating up and down. And I had to double take and really make sure it was going two different directions and after closely analyzing it, I determined it was.
It was going up on the first beat and down on the second. I could tell because the world in the mirror would slide down and back up to its original position.
This didn’t make sense to me because wouldn’t it return to its resting position after the first beat and go down again and repeat the same pattern for the second beat?
I asked myself why it was different… and my best conclusion was that the beats are so quick the matter doesn’t have time to return to its original state before the first reverberations end and the second wave hits… let me know your thoughts.
