Aliens with Control over Gravitons in the KHz Range

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the hypothetical abilities of aliens to emit and interact with gravitons in the frequency range of human hearing (20Hz-20KHz). Participants explore the implications of manipulating gravitational forces through alternating current (AC) signals, suggesting that such abilities could lead to destructive outcomes by resonating with various masses. The conversation also touches on the potential for these aliens to experience sound uniquely, as their eardrums would co-move with the gravitational waves, affecting sound perception in large structures like amphitheaters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graviton theory and its implications in physics
  • Knowledge of acoustic physics and sound wave propagation
  • Familiarity with the concept of resonance in physical systems
  • Basic principles of alternating current (AC) signals and their effects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and theoretical implications of gravitons in quantum physics
  • Explore the principles of resonance and its applications in engineering
  • Study the effects of sound waves in large-scale structures, such as amphitheaters
  • Investigate the relationship between gravity and sound perception in different mediums
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, acoustic engineers, and anyone interested in the intersection of gravitational theory and sound wave mechanics.

See my previous post! https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/do-gravitons-have-frequency-like-photons.957146/

Let's say we had some aliens that had the ability to emit/interact with gravitons with frequency roughly in the range corresponding to human hearing (20Hz-20KHz), and that they had an energy source that could generate them with sufficient magnitude. What could they do with that ability?

300 Hz it around 1,000,000 meters wavelength.

I suppose you could sing anthems with that skill. No one else would hear it but they would.
 
I assume gravitons are meant to transmit the "gravitational force", so if you can fluctuate the gravitational force with AC signals, wouldn't mass then vibrate along with it?

With enough power this could be extremely destructive, going around hitting resonant modes of things.

Strong enough, and we should be able to hear.
 
Since gravity has the same effect as acceleration, it'll ~ feel and do like everybody in the beam sitting on the membrane of a giant speaker

I believe the eardrum is co-moving. You would not hear the direct signal. You can hear a Doppler shift in a passing car. There is no change in someone's voice when you talk to them inside the car.

I am not sure if you could get interference in echos. If you were in an amphitheater the sound quality might change. The amphitheater may need to be 1000 kilometers scale building.
