SUMMARY

Quartz does not naturally vibrate without the application of voltage; it requires an external electrical stimulus to vibrate, as demonstrated in devices like Quartz watches. Claims regarding Quartz's ability to vibrate for healing applications are unfounded and often stem from misconceptions about the nature of vibrations. While Quartz can be used for data storage, its thermal vibrations do not possess any healing properties. Understanding the distinction between scientific principles and pseudoscientific claims is crucial.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of piezoelectricity and how Quartz crystals function.
  • Familiarity with the principles of vibration in physics.
  • Knowledge of the differences between scientific evidence and pseudoscience.
  • Awareness of the applications of Quartz in technology, such as in timekeeping devices.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of piezoelectricity in Quartz crystals.
  • Study the scientific basis of vibrations and their applications in technology.
  • Explore the differences between scientific methods and pseudoscientific beliefs.
  • Investigate the use of Quartz in data storage technologies.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, crystal enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the scientific validation of claims surrounding Quartz and its applications.

I hear someone said Quartz can naturally vibrate without applying voltage for healing application. Will it be true? Is there any device to measure this vibration? Furthermore, he describes that Quartz can be a device for data storage, which is proved. Will it be true?
I know Quartz vibrate with applying voltage, such as Quartz watch.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

All crystals will vibrate thermally (for eg.), but these vibrations have no healing application.

People who advocate crystal healing are usually confusing the physics concept of vibrations with the ideas around mystical vibrations.

Does this answer your question?

Yes - educate yourself as much as possible about the differences between science and pseudoscience.
 

Thread 'Two equivalent statements of time reversal symmetric Hamiltonian'

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
