Moving Particles: Can Pitchfork Vibrations Affect You?

[WhatIf...?]

I once read that you weren't supposed to take a pitch fork vibrate it and but it to your skin because it would make the molecules vibrate the same way and cause a discrepancy?

.. Can I sell you a bridge?

(Does it concern you that singing could cause the same type of vibrations in the molecules of your throat?)

 

[WhatIf...?]

i thought it was a different case because that your throat acts as a pitch fork sending the pitch but when using a different object it could cause your own molecules to vibrate with the fork sending them moving in the same directions. Electrons and protons going the same way isn't good i presume?

 

[cesiumfrog]

Why do you presume that?

I'll tell you a good trick: give that tuning fork a whack on the table, then press the end of its handle hard against your forehead for a minute, while you think..

Meanwhile, don't attribute random claims to something "I once read"; you're expected to give proper citations here.

 

[WhatIf...?]

i just thought that they were supposed to be moving at different directions. isn't that the basis of matter how tightly packed the molecules are in a substance??

Any way back to my original question on will it happen if you put a vibrating fork on to your skin

The answer has already been given: nothing at all. Why in the world would you think something special would?

Like healing crystals, occult pendulums, tinfoil hats, divining rods . . .

Commonly done

Neurologists and audiologists, among other doctors, commonly do this. No harm occurs except it sometimes tickles.

put your hand on a stereo's speaker


(but not for too long---it makes your flesh melt)

Simple. The fork will stop vibrating. its just like stopping it with your finger. If you don't press it hard, it just feels cool.
