Could Vibrations Explain... Everything?

The idea is so simple, it just might work

Hiya!

Yo. Today’s topic is a doozy. I won’t lie, my brain melted a bit during my research, but it’s so worth it. It all started with a recent article I read in the Fair Observer written by biophysicist, neuroscientist, and researcher William Softky. From there, I discovered a study from 2019 which is totally mind-bending.

After that, I tumbled down a deep rabbit hole involving a 2014 research paper with a title that speaks for itself: “Life Rhythm as a Symphony of Oscillatory Patterns: Electromagnetic Energy and Sound Vibration Modulates Gene Expression for Biological Signaling and Healing.”

Phew.

It took a while, but after my brain managed to solidify again, I’m finally able to share with you what I learned — that those “vibes” we feel, or the “energy” we pick up on, are far more than just expressions.

The Truth is Often Simple

I’m a firm believer that Truth is often simple, we’re usually the ones that complicate things, which is why I enjoy Softky’s overall point in the Fair Observer article—because it’s so simple, it just might work.

Of course, “simple” is not to be confused with “easy.” Sometimes, simple is anything but easy. Just look at ancient advice that’s miraculously survived to the modern age — all of the one-line quotes of wisdom from scientists like Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison, philosophers like Plato or Descartes, spiritual leaders like Buddha or Gandhi, and so many more. They’re often true and simple… but not necessarily easy.

Anyway, Softky makes the same point in his article—except he discusses simplicities in nature. Such as fractals in geometry where some patterns repeat themselves while becoming increasingly smaller — think snowflakes, tree branches, ferns, and countless others.

Softky states:

“[Phenomena like fractals] represent nested multiscale interactions, among the most elegant structures possible. That’s the kind of simplicity scientists love, because it lets one theory cover everything. Let’s call it a multi-scale theory. So simple it defies logic.”
