Making Waves, Teaching Waveforms

The interactive wave bowl. And D going to the Harvard museum and seeing the learning devices as exhibits, and how I have all these devices, some antique some modern, but they are all beautiful to me and they are all interactive pieces of art for me. I have microscopes and telescopes, and theremins, and viewers, singing bowls, instruments, etc.. And I talk about how we saw the bowl on the slow mo guys and they combine art and science too. But it all seems like labels. Like now we might label this as fluid dynamics even though there are people in our society who know the formulas and understand the principles.

So I am understanding just like the person a thousand years ago, I do not really have the specific knowledge. But because someone in my contemporary culture has it and they informs my shared culture, then the labels are different. And the experience may be different [more ‘science’ than ‘magic’]. And this says something about collaboration and the whole benefiting from this collaboration. Each neuron alone has a part, but the combination, the interaction, the synthesis is also something great. And we have so much in our culture/society/community because of individual contributions, but without interacting together and as one, we would have less.

But also how making the experience physical, and interactive, made these learning, communication tools more powerful, more successful. This bowl became an experience and I could better visualize and comprehend waveforms and transfer and fluid dynamics.
