    Graduate Geometry of Bluetooth Field

    Very interesting, nice to find some confirmation and understanding of my experience. Thanks

    Graduate Geometry of Bluetooth Field

    I am curious about an experience using earbuds with a smart phone music app. With smartphone on the porch, I was roaming the garden listening to music on a pair of earbuds. At a some distance from the smart phone the signal began to break up into a staccato of brief fragments which were just...

    Graduate Information theory via knot theory

    Knotty Knits are Tangles on Tori Shashank G. Markande1 and Elisabetta A. Matsumoto2 https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2020/bridges2020-103.pdf This is a less abstract & more hands-on approach that does note the mechanical responses of various knit patterns.

    Graduate Information theory via knot theory

    It is interesting to see what the math might look like, thanks. So, would increasing the complexity of G be equivalent to adding symbols to your alphabet, increasing bits/symbol? I am thinking that your "topological channels" is kindred to communication channel rather than river channel. I am...

    Graduate Information theory via knot theory

    "that the major tenets of information theory can be established through knot theory" Well, I remember who made this statement and it was Chris Hillman who was post doc at University of Washington. I find on checking that he was a contributor to Physics Forums until sometime just before 2022. My...

    Appreciate your for checking it out. I will look at these.

    Graduate Information theory via knot theory

    That would be helpful, thanks. This was 40 years ago and I have lost touch. I do remember the comment though.

    Graduate Information theory via knot theory

    A mathematician friend told me that the major tenets of information theory can be established through knot theory. Is that the case? Thanks.

    Undergrad Singing Crystal Wineglass -- Does the wine mass determine the pitch?

    Reading about resonance as an emergent phenomenon and wandered into chemistry "Resonance is a consequence of the valence bond (VB) theory." I regret lack of clarity. I know you can not reference any AI sources, but not clear about posting article from say Quanta Magazine.

    Undergrad Singing Crystal Wineglass -- Does the wine mass determine the pitch?

    Reading about resonance seen as an emergent and ubiquitous phenomenon. Interesting. Chemistry for example, "Resonance is a consequence of the valence bond (VB) theory." What are the protocols for posting URLs to Physics Forums?

    Undergrad Singing Crystal Wineglass -- Does the wine mass determine the pitch?

    Thanks all for input. Time to empty the wine glass.

    Undergrad Singing Crystal Wineglass -- Does the wine mass determine the pitch?

    Thanks for going through that step wise. The mass of the longer guitar string a good example. In the wine I am thinking that the sound pressure waves, must be concentric, go to the center and bounce back. But the same mass in a glass with lightly larger diameter would not produce the same tone...

    Undergrad Singing Crystal Wineglass -- Does the wine mass determine the pitch?

    Well, I would surely like to experiment with an acoustic probe measuring period of pressure transients in wine. Apparently the wine in glass system I describe is analogous to the period of a weight cycling on a spring. The more weight the longer the period. I would like to know exactly how the...

    Thanks, makes sense and glad I did not do that.
